Sonya Dunbar, RDH, also known as “The Geriatric Toothfairy,” is a passionate advocate for advancing the oral health of our rapidly aging patient population. As the owner of a mobile dental practice serving nursing homes and long-term care facilities, she is constantly on the lookout for solutions tailored to the unique needs of elderly patients. One product that supports her in this mission is VOCO’s Remin Pro, a triple protective dental cream that has become a welcome addition to her traveling dental toolbox.

A patient came to us struggling with severe enamel erosion and significant sensitivity, to the point where simple activities like eating and drinking had become uncomfortable for her. We also learned that dry mouth—a side effect of her medications—was making the situation even more challenging.

 

After her cleaning, we gently applied Remin Pro. Within weeks, she told us she was experiencing less discomfort when drinking cold water and felt her teeth growing stronger. What's more, her caregivers expressed how effortless it was to include Remin Pro in her daily oral care routine. With steady use of the the product, the patient’s sensitivity continued to improve, and her dental checkups reflected remark­able progress in her enamel strength.

 

Improving Quality of Life

 

With an advanced formula that combines nano-hydroxyapatite, fluoride, and xylitol, Remin Pro is an indispensable tool in our arsenal, addressing com­mon issues such as enamel erosion, sensitivity, and dry mouth within the geriatric population.

 

After professional cleanings, we apply Remin Pro to our patients' teeth, which significantly strength­ens weakened enamel and replenishes lost miner­als. It tastes great, and its impressive ability to seal dentinal tubules provides immediate sensitivity relief—particularly for individuals with exposed roots or worn enamel.

 

For patients suffering from xerostomia due to medications or medical conditions, Remin Pro neutralizes acidic environments, fos­ters a healthier oral microbiome, and actively reduces the risk of decay. Due to its fast and easy application, it also can be used effectively on non-ambulatory patients, enhancing its practicality in geriatric care. We also use Remin Pro as a key postop measure after procedures like scaling or extractions to ensure rapid recovery with minimal discomfort.

 

We take pride in teaching our patients and caregivers how to seamlessly incorporate Remin Pro into their daily oral hygiene routines so that its benefits extend well beyond our visits. Its powerful formula has led to outstanding improvements in our patients’ oral health—caregivers consistently report fewer complaints of pain or discomfort, and we see stronger, healthier teeth among our patients.

 

Patient Comfort Meets Peace of Mind

 

Having used Remin Pro for over 4 years, I can confidently assert its effectiveness in enhancing oral health. It stands out as a solution that offers an ideal combination of protection and repair while helping us prioritize geriatric patients’ comfort and peace of mind. These qualities make it an essential product for meeting the diverse oral health needs of patients in our care.
