Xylitol, is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables. It is clinically proven to reduce plaque-forming bacteria and plaque debris and facilitate the remineralization of enamel without promoting tooth decay. Xylitol is commonly found in chewing gum, toothpaste and fluoride varnish. Its ability to enhance remineralization helps in caries prevention […]

No, Dayli does not contain an abrasive since it is intended to be used as an adjunct along with the patients’ regular fluoride toothpaste. Additionally, since the patient is recommended to brush on Dayli nightly prior to bedtime and not rinse, adding an abrasive agent would be less comfortable for the patient.

For dental insurance reimbursement, code D9910 “Application of desensitizing medicament” is used but be warned that this code has a poor track record for reimbursement. To get started, some offices apply the product chairside with a tray or brush and send the patient home with the tube. Since offices can purchase a tube of Dayli […]

Dayli is primarily an adult product so general practitioners focused on adult cosmetic procedures are the primary target audience. With the exception of rampant caries most of the clinical indications involve adult dentition. Heavy users of Discus Dental’s Nite–White and Ultradent’s Opalescene brands as well as those offices using Zoom lights usually dispense fluorides to […]

Additional patient indications include: Recurrent caries, rampant caries, secondary caries, orthodontic decalcification, bulimic patients to help control acid dissolution, post periodontal scaling and xerostomia-induced caries.

Speed of relief will vary with each patient. On average, patients brushing with products like Dayli once daily at bedtime should experience relief within two weeks. This is the case with post-whitening sensitivity. Patients brushing one to two weeks prior to tooth whitening can remineralize tooth structure and help reduce or prevent the occurrence of […]

Dayli’s brand name and clear formula are expected to improve patient compliance. While we understand that most oral care products will not stain teeth, common sense suggests that it’s best to avoid consuming products containing dyes if we desire to maintain a “Hollywood Smile” for a longer period of time. For whitening patients who have […]

Dayli contains the maximum amount (5%) of the active ingredient potassium nitrate allowed by FDA to treat and protect against hypersensitivity. Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound that penetrates the exposed tubules to calm the nerves inside the tooth by preventing the transmission of the painful stimuli. Most of today’s sensitive toothpaste brands use 5% […]

Dayli contains 1.1% Neutral Sodium Fluoride (5,000 ppm), the maximum level of fluoride allowed by FDA in a take-home use product. Dayli’s sodium fluoride ions infiltrate the dentinal tubules and effectively block access to the pulp chamber to help relieve tooth sensitivity. Patients who brush with Dayli for one to two weeks prior to whitening […]

The breakdown of the peroxide in whitening products expands dentinal tubules, increasing the pulp’s sensitivity to hot and cold stimuli such as food and beverages. Potential sources include exposure of the tooth to elevated temperature for an extended period of time (activation lights) during bleaching, dehydration of the tooth and the penetration of the peroxide […]
