ClearDefense Silver Fluoride offers a gluten-free, water-based formula with no ammonia, low odor, and a non-irritating application, ensuring a more pleasant experience for patients.

Simple, one-step application
With an easy-to-use single-step application requiring no rinsing or posttreatment restrictions, ClearDefense seamlessly integrates into dental practice treatment protocols, enhancing efficiency without compromising effectiveness.
