FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL
If you are looking to protect your dental work investment and proactively avoid potentially painful, unnecessary procedures, Dental Defense Solution is perfect for you. DDS is specifically designed to help maintain and shield existing dental work.
No - Frequent, regular visits with your dental team are critical not only to help clean the areas that are difficult to reach, but also to monitor the overall health of your dental work.
However, since we typically only see our dental team 2-4 times a year, the rest of the year your implants and dental work need protection. This is why Dental Defense Solution was developed, to shield and protect your dental work and complement your overall dental care routine.
While Dental Defense Solution contains individually clinically proven ingredients, a prescription is not currently needed.
No - Brushing and flossing is always recommended as part of routine care to help remove food debris and disrupt bacteria formation.
Currently, Dental Defense Solution is only available online at our website or through your dental provider. If your dentist doesn’t carry our product yet, let them know you want them to!
Great question! In addition to an easy, once-daily regimen, targeted protection for dental work, home delivery, and great taste, it comes down to the ingredients.
Some of our competitors list very aggressive effectiveness claims on their bottles and websites. However, frequently these claims are not based on accepted medical evidence, but rather homeopathic levels of success.
Unlike our competitors, the ingredients in Dental Defense Solution have been individually clinically proven to neutralize the root causes of dental work failure.
In other words, when it comes to your dental work and rinse selection, there is a big difference between homeopathic ingredients and powerful, proven ingredients. Check out the facts to learn more.
Absolutely! Dental Defense Solution makes an amazing everyday rinse. Besides being great tasting, DDS is alcohol-free, burn-free, dye-free, and has no unpleasant aftertaste.
Good news, DDS is dye-free and safe for veneers.
No - There is no benefit to using DDS twice a day. Please follow indicated usage instructions for optimal results.
Leaving Dental Defense Solution on and in between your teeth for as long as possible allows it to go to work. Rinsing with water immediately after use would wash out these areas and disrupt the process.
We understand that drinking water before bedtime or during the night may be necessary. If possible, we recommend waiting at least 30 minutes after using the product before rinsing or drinking water to achieve the best results.
This is most likely due to an acidic oral environment. Dental Defense Solution neutralizes excess oral acids and this change is what is causing the change in taste perception. Fortunately, this is just temporary.
A continuous, comprehensive home care routine and dental care program has been proven to support longevity of dental work. Dental Defense Solution plays a key role in this comprehensive program.
While Dental Defense Solution is formulated with ingredients specifically designed to protect your dental work, not even your dentist can guarantee or determine the exact longevity of your dental work.
Ultimately, this depends on many factors including: patients' host response, at home oral care routine and compliance, and quality of initial dental work delivered to the patient, among other things.
Yes – Dental Defense Solution is alcohol-free and burn-free!
While it may appear more expensive, on a monthly basis Dental Defense Solution is similar, if not less expensive, than other rinses.
Since DDS is meant for once-daily use, one bottle lasts a full month, whereas other rinses need to be used twice a day and may require 2-3 bottles per month.
More importantly, DDS is not your average mouthwash and is specifically designed to shield and protect your dental investment. The minimal cost to protect your dental work now, will likely be less than what you'll spend at the dentist's office fixing a problem later on.
Dental Defense Solution is a cosmetic which does not require FDA approval to be marketed and sold in the U.S.
However, ingredients intended for use in products regulated as cosmetics need to be recognized as safe for use in their specific product type. Our product does, however, include two main ingredients that are not only safe for use in cosmetics but have also been individually proven to fight the root causes of dental work failure.
The safety of Dental Defense Solution, when used as directed, has also been confirmed by an independent third-party laboratory.
All that to say, Dental Defense Solution uses real, safe, and proven, ingredients in our product.
If your Dental Defense Solution appears cloudy or has a slightly altered taste, don’t worry—it remains safe. However, if this does occur, please discard any remaining rinse and start a new bottle.
These changes typically result from improper storage conditions, such as exposure to air, light, or heat, which can impact the product’s freshness.
To ensure optimal quality, please follow these storage and usage guidelines as indicated on the bottle:
- Store in a cool, dark place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use.
- Use all bottle contents within one month of opening. Any unused rinse after this period should be discarded.
When used as directed, a full bottle of DDS is designed to last one month with once-daily use. Proper storage and usage will help maintain the product’s quality for the most enjoyable experience.
If you believe your rinse was stored properly according to the above instructions but you still noticed a significant change in taste, please contact us at support@dentaldefensesolution.com.
IMPLANTS
One of the keys to long lasting dental implants is maintaining a clean oral environment.
This can be accomplished through a proactive maintenance program including Dental Defense Solution, regular brushing & flossing and frequent dentist visits to protect your dental work.
Compliance to your routine is extremely important. This is why we made it easy and designed DDS to be used only once-daily.
Proactive oral hygiene and maintenance is imperative for the care of your new dental tooth replacement, especially in difficult to reach locations.
Take care to clean under your new tooth replacement and at the gum tissue-implant interface. This doesn’t just mean what you can see, but more importantly, the microscopic level of what you can’t see.
This is where Dental Defense Solution shines, getting in areas typical brushing and flossing cannot reach to help protect your implants.
Most dentists and implant specialists say an implant will generally last for as long as you maintain and take care of it. Fortunately for you, but unfortunately for the implant, this may mean having to last upwards of 10, 20, 30+ years. This is a tall order for something that will be chewed on every day and be under constant attack from bacteria.
Targeted, proactive, maintenance is plays a key role in determining the longevity of your dental implant.
A failed implant is incredibly expensive in terms of both time and money.
A typical process would require time and expense for: surgical removal of existing implant, bone grafting, membrane, months of healing and follow up visits, followed by surgical placement of new dental implant, among other things.
Proactive maintenance with Dental Defense Solution is designed to protect your dental work and help avoid unnecessary procedures.
A typical maintenance program starts with a thorough oral hygiene routine, including both regular dentist visits and consistent at-home oral care.
However, tissue at the platform for implants consists of different anatomy than that of a natural tooth, requiring a more tailored program – this is where Dental Defense Solution can help. DDS is specifically designed to shield and protect your implants.
This depends on many factors including: patients' host response, at home oral care routine and compliance, and quality of initial dental work delivered to the patient, among other things.
A thorough oral care routine including regular dentist visits and consistent at-home maintenance are key components to maintain your dental work.
Generally, failing implants do not hurt but may lead to failed implants and possible damage or loss of neighboring teeth or implants.
Failed implants may require surgical removal and a potentially painful recovery.
The simple answer is yes, and you should consult your dentist immediately.
There are many serious conditions that don’t hurt: we don’t feel high blood pressure until we have a stroke or feel high cholesterol until we have a heart attack.
Your dentist can provide you professional advice and determine a proper treatment.
If your gums bleed, consult your dentist to provide professional advice and determine a proper treatment.
CAPS, CROWNS, BRIDGES, FILLINGS & VENEERS
While the dental work itself cannot decay, the tooth underneath can, possibly requiring replacement of the dental work, a potential root canal, extraction or surgical dental implant. Frequently, brushing and flossing alone cannot address these potential issues.
Dental Defense Solution is designed to shield and protect your implant, cap, crown, bridge, filling, or veneer by reaching areas of your dental work that brushing alone cannot.
A dental filling is a restorative material used to repair a cavity in a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. When a dentist identifies a cavity, they will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then fill the resulting space with a filling material to restore the tooth's structure and function.
Dental fillings can be made from various materials, including amalgam (a mixture of metals), composite resin (a tooth-colored material), gold, or ceramic materials. The choice of filling material depends on factors such as the location and size of the cavity, aesthetic considerations, and the patient's preferences and budget.
Yes, you can still have cavities after fillings, even underneath existing fillings. This situation can occur due to several reasons including leakage, cracks and poor oral hygiene.
Recurrent decay refers to the development of new cavities or decay around the margins of existing dental restorations. It occurs when the interface around the restoration becomes compromised, allowing bacteria to infiltrate and cause decay.
Treatment typically involves removing the old filling, cap/crown, bridge or veneer, cleaning the affected area, and replacing it with a new dental restoration if a root canal or tooth removal is not required.
See your dentist to determine the proper treatment plan.
Dental Defense Solution is not a treatment, or replacement for an office visit with your dentist to treat recurrent decay.
