Quotes "As dental hygienists we need to look at oral plaque and pH differently."   "Consider adopting the biofilm term for dental plaque and look at oral biofilm differently."   “Eliminate biofilm and remove the calculus with equal focus."   "A healthy saliva will have a pH of 6.8-7.8 level."   "Patients should apply MI Paste, or MI Paste twice daily."   "Studies show that these bioactive innovative products will work at their optimal level if the patient is in an oral pH balance when they are applied."   "It is a vital time to protect our patients teeth with these types of products."   Links MI Paste/MI Paste Plus https://www.gcamerica.com/products/preventive/MI_Paste/ MI Paste One https://www.gcamerica.com/products/preventive/MI_Paste_ONE/  MI Varnish https://www.gcamerica.com/products/preventive/MI_Varnish/ Glass Ionomer Sealants https://www.gcamerica.com/products/operatory/GIRestoratives.php  http://www.gcamerica.com/ce/alleducation.php http://www.gcamerica.com
