- Full Description
-
A Finnish SME, established 1995, develops and sells special toothpastes. The target groups are persons with sensitive or dry mouth, as well as small children.
Dry mouth, various allergies, asthma and aphthae (cankers) of the oral mucosa may cause pain and hyperesthesia of the mucous membranes. In such cases, normal strongly flavoured toothpastes containing preservatives and foaming substances may be difficult or even impossible to use.
The Finnish SME has developed three different toothpastes:
-Moisturizing and non-foaming toothpaste for oral sensitivity or dry mouth
-Toothpaste for kids from 0,5 to 6 years
-Toothpaste without fluoride for those who get enough fluoride from, for example, drinking water. Fluoride-free toothpaste can also be used to get very young babies used to brushing their teeth.
The product range includes also cleaning and prophylaxis pastes for oral health care professionals.
The products are produced in Finland and sold in the Finnish markets, and the company is now pursuing new export markets. They are searching for distributors, and the suitable ones are e.g. pharmacies, online pharmacies and specialist oral hygiene shops. Distribution by dental offices may also be possible. Both wholesale trade and retail trade companies are suitable partners. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company's special toothpastes do not contain any flavourings, colourants, foaming cleansing agents, sodium lauryl sulphate or 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (preservative).
The toothpaste can be left without rinsing, and due to its composition, it can be swallowed. It is suitable for small children and bedridden patients or any persons who do not know how or are unable to rinse their mouths.
The toothpaste contains fluoride (except the fluoride-free option), xylitol and Finnish natural betaine which has been demonstrated to maintain oral moisture and protect the mucous membranes.
Cleaning and prophylaxis pastes for oral health care professionals are easy to rinse and mildly flavoured. The pastes also stay well on the tooth surface without splashing when using rotary brushes or rubber cups. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
