Ingredient Alert for Milk Allergy
In the dental community a new product has been introduced that does
contain milk protein. The company that manufactures the new product does have a milk allergy alert and
a warning not to use it on milk allergic individuals. According to the dental company, it is safe for lactose intolerant
individuals.
A registered dental hygienist and mother of milk allergic children would
like us to pass along the product name to avoid in the dental office and safety tips for our children during their dental
visits.
- Inform your dentist/hygienist of the milk allergy
- remind them each hygiene visit.
- Ask them to note in chart on treatment notes
"NO PROSPEC MI" paste due to milk allergy.
- Ask them to double check the paste being used
to make sure it isn't the Prospec MI paste
-This product is also used to soothe sensitive teeth
using a custom made tray (bleaching tray), generally not used
for routine fluoride applications. To be safe, request no Prospec MI be used in a tray for
your child.
RECALDENT tm (CCP-ACP) is the same product added in TriDent tm chewing
gum and it is now available in professional strenth to an in-office dental product to help improve fluoride benefits, make
teeth stronger and less sensitive.
Product containing RECALDENT:
-
PROSPEC tm MI Paste which is applied by polishing teeth or used in a tray delivery system. It
is a new product and many offices will not be aware of it yet. Other dental pastes do not have this ingredient present.
Please share this information with your known milk allergic families and your dental office!
Any questions please direct to your dental professional as this is only
intended as an ingredient awareness alert.
