FAQ's

Q1. Does Odontopaste clinically stain teeth?
A. No, you do not have to bleach afterwards.

Q2. Can Odontopaste be used 50:50 with calcium hydroxide?
A. Odontopaste already has 0.5% calcium hydroxide. Any further addition of calcium hydroxide will degrade the steroid and antibiotic components of the paste. For a better antibacterial paste, try Odontocide. Odontocide has 20% calcium hydroxide and ibuprofen at 7% premixed.

Q3. Can Ledermix Paste be used 50:50 with calcium hydroxide.

Q4. Why has the tube changed?
A. Odontopaste is now supplied in a plastic laminate tube. This allows for heat sealing of the tube and improves the tamper evidence measures. There is still 8 grams of paste in the tube even though the tube is smaller in size.
