Young Specialties, based in Algonquin, Illinois, has introduced ClearDefense Silver Fluoride, a new product designed to address dental hypersensitivity while minimizing the risk of tooth discoloration. The solution aims to provide relief for patients with dentinal hypersensitivity, a common condition in dental care, while enhancing patient comfort during treatment.
“ClearDefense Silver Fluoride is the future of patient care,” said Kenneth Serota, CEO of Young Innovations. “This noninvasive solution for dental sensitivity not only provides effective relief, but also minimizes the risk of discoloration, enabling clinicians to offer a better treatment experience while prioritizing patient comfort.”
ClearDefense Silver Fluoride is formulated with 0.2% nanosilver, 3% sodium fluoride, and vegetal chitosan. According to the company, this formulation effectively occludes dentin tubules, providing relief from sensitivity. Unlike traditional silver fluoride treatments, ClearDefense’s 0.2% nanosilver content lowers the risk of discoloration while maintaining its protective benefits.
The product is designed to be easy to use and enhances patient comfort. The water-based formula is gluten-free, contains no ammonia, and has a low odor. The application process is non-irritating and simple, requiring only a one-step process with no rinsing or post-treatment restrictions.
“At Young, we are committed to improving patient care while empowering clinicians to practice at the top of their license,” said John Frymark, vice president of U.S. direct, marketing, and analytics at Young Specialties. “ClearDefense Silver Fluoride exemplifies this mission — providing an effective, easy-to-use treatment that enhances both patient comfort and clinical outcomes. We are thrilled to bring this innovation forward and continue driving meaningful progress across the oral healthcare industry.”
