Category Spotlight: Patterson Prophy Paste

 As the cornerstone of every hygiene visit, the prophylaxis procedure presents an important moment in the patient-provider relationship. The idea of a thorough, comfortable cleaning not only encourages patients to return to the office for their next hygiene appointment, but to take home care more seriously and maintain a better, brighter smile between visits.

That said, choosing the right prophy paste can spell the difference between an unpleasant polishing experience and one where patients feel at ease in the chair. Patterson Prophy Paste was designed with both dental professionals and patients in mind, offering effective stain removal in formulations that meet diverse needs and preferences.

The Right Grit for the Job

Patterson Prophy Paste is available in 3 different grits to match the clinical demands of each hygiene appointment. Clinicians can choose between coarse, medium, and plus, the latter of which is similar to a fine-grit paste. Whether tackling tough calculus and heavy staining or providing routine care to patients with minimal biofilm buildup, Patterson Prophy Paste enables efficient cleaning and polishing in every procedure—without unnecessary abrasion.

Patient-Friendly Prevention

Controlling splatter during prophylaxis is key to keeping the operatory clean and free of cross-contamination, but it also shows consideration for patients’ comfort. Patterson Prophy Paste is specifically formulated to reduce splatter, so it doesn’t end up on nearby surfaces or patients’ clothing.

This paste also comes in a selection of fresh flavors, including Cool Mint, Very Cherry, and Exotic Fruit. Together, these benefits enhance experiences in the chair and can even make cleanings enjoyable, particularly for younger patients who struggle with treatment acceptance.

Patterson Prophy Paste also contains xylitol, a natural sweetener shown to promote saliva production and inhibit the growth of cavity-causing bacteria. In addition, the product’s gluten-free formula addresses the needs of patients who have allergies and sensitivities.

These mindful details, combined with reliable performance, make Patterson Prophy Paste a practical choice for dental teams committed to providing exceptional preventive care.
