Chemical active ingredients (pain relievers) in Dentinox® N gel

Dentinox® N gel contains two chemical active ingredients for pain relief: Lidocaine hydrochloride works quickly and for a short period of time whereas macrogol lauryl ether sets in with a time delay but its effects last longer. The distribution among several active ingredients makes it possible to keep the respective doses to a very low level. Even swallowing an entire tube is considered to be harmless from a medical perspective.

Can I give the children’s toothpaste to my baby, too?

We have developed a toothpaste with a lower abrasive value especially for babies; it is particularly gentle and is not capable of rubbing off the tooth enamel that has not yet fully hardened. For this reason, we recommend using our baby toothpastes for the first 12 months or so following the eruption of the first little teeth. Each of the five nenedent toothpastes is suitable for use over the entire milk teeth period until the age of 6.

When can you start using Dentinox® N teething gel?

Dentinox® N gel is a very mild and natural medicine. Use can begin as soon as a little tooth makes itself noticed with reddening and irritation of the gum. This may be as early as the first few weeks of a baby’s life.

What is the difference between the various nenedent® children’s toothpastes?

The basic difference between nenedent® toothpastes is the fluoride content. There is a children’s toothpaste, one for babies, with variants with and without fluoride. In addition, four of the five varieties of the nenedent® toothpastes are homoeopathy-compatible, which means they are free from essential oils, such as menthol, and do not have any impact on the outcome of homoeopathic treatment. The nenedent® children’s toothpaste with fluoride is the only one that is not homoeopathy-compatible.

How do you use the thimble toothbrush?

Put the silicone thimble toothbrush over your index finger so that the flat soft bristles sit on your fingertip. Now put a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on top and brush your baby's first teeth with small circular movements. Then rinse the thimble toothbrush thoroughly under running water.

Alcohol in medicines for children (using Dentinox® N teething gel as an example)

Dentinox® N teething gel contains a very small quantity of alcohol that occurs through the process of extracting chamomile tincture, a natural active ingredient. When the preparation is applied externally to the child’s warm oral mucous membrane, it may be assumed that the very small (a question of milligrams in each dose) percentage of alcohol in the gel just about completely evaporates with the warm breath without being absorbed by the child’s body. There is absolutely no danger of any adverse effects on the child!
