Compounding for Dentistry and Oral Surgery
Preparations for the mouth, made to your prescription.
Dental patients need preparations that stay where they are put and taste acceptable. Cambria prepares nonsterile oral rinses, gels, pastes and troches from the exact components and strengths you prescribe.
Common reasons to compound
- Combination rinses prescribed by component and ratio
- A gel or paste that adheres to the oral mucosa
- A troche that dissolves slowly where it is needed
- Flavor and sweetener choices that suit the patient
For: General dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, pediatric dentists
