Denta-Med gel is invaluable in high medical risk patients where patient management is very challenging - acute, intensive, psychiatric, respiratory medicine, aged, rehabilitative and terminal care, cancer therapy, and drug rehabilitation clinics.
Medical research is now linking oral pathogens from the mouth with causing and complicating serious medical conditions.
Denta-Med gel is a very effective preventive health measure.
HOW TO USE
Floss. Denta-Med gel should be used as frequently as required. 6 to 8 times daily is not uncommon in very severe cases.
It is most important to use Denta-Med gel last thing at night. Apply the gel on a soft toothbrush and gently massage the gums and gently brush the teeth and tongue. Either rinse out with water afterwards or spit out the residue.
Please note; Do not combine with toothpaste or use a mouth wash/rinse. Use Denta-Med gel only.
Application of Denta-Med gel in very severe cases; apply the gel on a soft toothbrush. If the mouth is too sensitive to use a soft toothbrush then put some gel onto a soft cloth or finger and gently coat the surfaces of the mouth with Denta-Med gel. Use as frequently as required.
"I have nearly finished my first tube of toothpaste. (I am a chemo patient with what used to be a very sore mouth) I used your paste for a week and my mouth clearede up very well. I am about to receive my second round of chemo and I hope if I use the paste in the same way I will not have such a problem. Very pleased with product." L.D. Gold Coast, Qld.
Dear Patrick,
I would like to thank you for introducing me to your product Denta-Med. Since it has now been a month I feel that you should know just how beneficial it has been to me, as you know I am on a clinical trial at Royal Brisbane Hospital for throat cancer which as has left me with some severe side effects one of them being dry mouth and general mouth disorders, not an easy thing to put up with ,I have had discomfort from the radiation treatment for almost nine years now and have tried to address these issues with many products,none of them worked satisfactorily.
However since following your advice I have definitely noticed an improvement to my oral hygiene plus my dry mouth and and throat do definitely seem to have improved dramatically, Denta-Med, it would appear to me has been able to address the issue of dry mouth by forming a physical barrier which somehow gives me the ability to not have to use copious amounts of water, I still have dry mouth which unfortunately is permanent but I definitely do not have the irritation and get comfort from using your product.
I am no dentist, however my dentist on my last visit which was 2 days ago was very impressed with my oral hygiene and my gums and in his own words said ” I don’t know what your doing but whatever it is keep it up” I told him about Denta-Med and he said he would look into it as he treats a number of patients with dry mouth.
Having said that it also has been very helpful to not only myself but my family, as I now have some comfort which is stress relieving which in turn has been good for all of us.
Patrick, I cannot thank you enough for developing this product it has changed my life and my general self esteem has also improved along with the obvious beneficial oral health issues.I will continue to use Denta-Med and have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone in similar circumstances,as I stated previously I have tried for nine years and Denta-Med is by far the best product that I have been able to use. Kind Regards with many thanks , P.R, Lennox Head, NSW
Dear Dr Shanahan
For some time I've intended to write to thank you for your oral gel (Denta-Med).
For about 20 years I had bad breath, which actually used to wake me up at night. It caused me much distress socially, and much worry in my work (nursing) where one has to be in close contact with patients. Regular dental visits, oral hygiene, and a good diet were all to no avail. I carried a toothbrush and paste everywhere where I went and used them almost hourly. Before your lecture in Bunbury 8 or so years ago I started using the AP gel (Denta-Med gel) with spectacular results.
At first I used it 3 times a day, just to make sure, as I was still cleaning my teeth many times a day.
However, about 2 months later I stopped the excessive cleaning, and my breath was not waking me up at night. People were not taking a step back when I spoke. I felt I could even breathe normally when attending my patients instead of holding my breath, then turning away to exhale.
After about 12 months -ever cautious - I reduced my use of the Gel to twice a day, but I really could have done it much earlier, I think.
Two years ago the root cause was diagnosed as food sensitivity. Since eliminating the problem foods from my diet I use the Gel once a day as a prophylactic. At the time of your first lecture in Bunbury I nursed in aged care and the nursing home bought some of the gel (Denta-Med gel) for 2 of our residents whose dental problems caused them distress. One, Mrs W, had had recurrent mouth ulcers most of her life and became unable and unwilling to tolerate dentures. She was"fed up". We used the Gel for her oral hygiene, and after a week or so persuaded her to give her teeth another try, using a dob of Gel on the palate of her dentures as well as cleaning her oral cavity with it. I don't recall her having much problem thereafter.
Another lady, Mrs L, was from admission reluctant to allow oral care. Obviously it was too painful. She had teeth that were almost black. She was seen by a dentist, but it was deemed by him and the family that treatment would be too stressful for her(she was very disorientated and confused) She had a strong faecal odour to her breath which was occasionally treated successfully with Flagyl, but once the course was completed the odour would return. Nothing we did would moderate it. We decided to try the (Denta-Med gel) gel. Because she refused to open her mouth for oral care, we used to put a little (Denta-Med gel) gel on a spoon and offer it to her. She had a habit of rolling food around her mouth and this she did with the (Denta-Med gel) gel too.
A few weeks later she allowed us to clean her mouth with some gel on gauze, and a few weeks after we were able to use a soft toothbrush.
The faecal odour diminished and finally went after about six months and Mrs L changed from being an angry worried looking lady to being a happy person who laughed readily. She even opened her mouth spontaneously when she saw the toothbrush. The teeth too lost a lot of their discoloration.
I felt at the time this was one of our major achievements in oral care, but really all credit must go to you. F.M,Brunswick Juction, WA

“In April, 1989, I was diagnosed as having malignant squamous cancers in the lymph nodes on both sides of the neck. They were surgically removed, and found to be secondaries, the primary was not located.
Further treatment, radiotherapy to the neck area followed immediately and this left me with the residual after effects of damaging the enamel to all of my teeth, damage to taste buds, and saliva glands, causing me to suffer for nearly 7 years with persistent and painful ulcers to the mouth, cheeks, and tongue. Mouth washes 4 times a day, gum shields with fluoride gel, artificial saliva sprays and various liquids and lozenges, to such failed to make any impression to these ulcers, resulting in years of eating very bland foods and lukewarm liquids. A few weeks ago I was asked by the Doctors in radiotherapy if I would like to use a sample tube of a new gel (Denta-Med gel) that they had on hand at the Hospital. I agreed but must admit I was not at all confident that it would help me with my ulcers. However, I cleaned my teeth after lunch and then applied the gel with a small soft toothbrush as recommended to all the soft tissue of the mouth and gums. Within an hour my mouth felt unfamiliarly clean and fresh. I kept this routine for several days after each meal, and especially at night. Lo and behold, within a week almost every ulcer had disappeared, and my mouth, at night, usually so dry that I would awake to spray my mouth with artificial saliva was no longer a problem. It remained moist, not wet and I was able to enjoy undisturbed sleep, for the first time in years. My mouth now has only one small persistent ulcer on the side of my tongue which I believe is mostly caused by rubbing against rough tooth enamel. I would like to thank you and your company for producing this very effective gel, and I am sure thousands of people will eventually use it and receive
the same relief that I experienced. I will unreservedly recommend your (Denta-Med gel) gel to any person suffering with ulcers and gum troubles”. JS.M, Spearwood, WA
Dear Dr Shanahan,
I have found your product to be very helpful after chemotherapy damage to the cells in my mouth. I will continue to use it. My oral therapist is pleased with the progress I'm making. Yours sincerely, C. D. A. South Australia.
