Great for patients, great for dental professionals: Reinventing fluoride treatment with a breakthrough patient experience

Fluoride treatments are a cornerstone of preventive dental care. But a few concerns — long wear times, sticky residue and ingredients containing common allergens — have made these treatments less than ideal for some patients.

That’s why our team at Solventum developed 3M™ Clinpro™ Clear Fluoride Treatment — a game-changing new solution developed from listening to dental professionals. With a treatment that fits better in their lives, patients might find it easier to say “yes.”

Listening to solve

When we talked to dental professionals and patients about their experiences with fluoride treatments, a few common concerns came up:

• Sticky texture
• Visible residue
• Needed to stay on teeth for four hours or more

These insights helped guide our approach to designing a better alternative.

“By listening closely to what both patients and providers were experiencing, we were able to rethink fluoride treatment,” says Eric Wenzel, vice president of sales & marketing for Dental Solutions. “This represents a major advancement in preventive treatment.”

A better experience for patients

Our dental team went to work to solve for these challenges.

• Wear time: Only 15 minutes on the teeth
•  Smoother feel and appearance: Uses a water-based formula that leaves a clean feeling without sticky rosins
• Lower fluoride concentration, same benefits: Effective fluoride uptake with lower dosage
• Formula free of common allergens: Clinpro Clear Fluoride Treatment’s water-based formula is now a more inclusive option for people with sensitivities or allergies

A win for dental professionals

The treatment is easy for patients and the application process is easy for dental professionals, too. The unique press and go L-Pop delivery system allows for:

• Simple one-handed activation
• Accurate dosing
• Quick application

Backed by feedback

A clinical study showed positive results*:

• Dental professionals rated the patient experience 98 out of 100
• One hour after treatment, 96% of patients couldn’t feel or taste Clinpro Clear Fluoride treatment on their teeth

A step forward in preventive care

Clinpro Clear Fluoride Treatment isn’t just about a new generation of fluoride — it’s about making the experience better for everyone involved. By addressing common challenges, it can support dental practices and helps increase patient compliance with their care.
