Uses

You can use this product to help protect against cavities, which are small holes in your teeth caused by decay. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene, and this product can be a helpful part of your routine to keep your teeth healthy.

Dosage and Administration

If your child is under 2 years old, it's best to consult with a dentist for guidance on how to care for their teeth.
