Relief acp gel
Relief ACP gel is a tooth-care product containing amorphous calcium phosphate, used as directed for selected enamel and sensitivity needs.
The short answer
Relief ACP gel is a tooth-care product containing amorphous calcium phosphate, used as directed for selected enamel and sensitivity needs. It is applied to the tooth surface so calcium and phosphate can be available at the enamel interface.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
ACP means amorphous calcium phosphate, a non-crystalline form of calcium phosphate used in some dental materials. The product is not a replacement for treating a cavity, a cracked tooth, exposed root, or active gum disease.
What can you do next?
Use the amount and contact time on the product directions or your dentist’s plan, and keep brushing with fluoride toothpaste unless instructed otherwise. Do not place gel into an open wound or use it to seal a hole in a tooth.
When should you seek dental care?
Arrange an examination for toothache, a visible hole, persistent sensitivity, swelling, or bleeding gums because gel cannot identify or remove the cause. Stop and seek advice if the product causes marked irritation or an unexpected reaction.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask whether your enamel, sensitivity, or restoration problem is suitable for an ACP product and how it fits with fluoride care. Ask how long to use it, where it should be applied, and what finding would require a filling or other treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Is ACP gel the same as toothpaste?
No. It is a separate topical dental product and should be used according to its own directions.
Can it remove tooth decay?
No. Decay requires assessment and may need removal of damaged tissue and a restoration.
