Close Up Menthol Fresh (Deep Action) 50ml is a specialized oral hygiene gel formulation engineered to target the etiology of oral malodor (halitosis) while supporting dental enamel integrity. Formulated with an active zinc matrix and fluoride, this dual-action gel combines antibacterial active ingredients with mechanical plaque removal to neutralize volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and deliver long-lasting microbial inhibition in the oral cavity.
Key Medical Benefits & Health Value
Regular application of Close Up Menthol Fresh supports oral health through several clinically documented mechanisms:
Reduction of Odor-Causing Bacteria: Active zinc ions target up to 99% of anaerobic oral bacteria responsible for the degradation of food debris and production of malodorous sulfur compounds.
Sustained Microbial Neutralization: Provides prolonged antibacterial protection for up to 12 hours, inhibiting bacterial regrowth across the gingival margin, tongue dorsum, and interdental spaces.
Enamel Remineralization & Cavity Prevention: Delivers bioavailable fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel, enhancing resistance against acid erosion from dietary sugars and bacterial metabolism.
Plaque Control & Gingival Support: Helps reduce dental plaque bio-film accumulation, lowering the risk of early-stage marginal gingivitis and localized oral inflammation.
Sensory Stimulation: Natural menthol extracts stimulate oral mucosa cold receptors, promoting immediate freshness and aiding salivary flow.
Key Ingredients & Mechanism of Action
Active Components
Zinc Mineral Complex:
Mechanism: Zinc ions act as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. They disrupt the cellular membranes of Gram-positive and Gram-negative oral bacteria and competitively bind to sulfur precursors, directly neutralizing volatile sulfur compounds before they volatilize into bad breath.
Sodium Fluoride:
Mechanism: Fluoride ions promote the remineralization of demineralized enamel by incorporating into the hydroxyapatite matrix, forming fluorapatite—a crystalline structure significantly more resistant to bacterial acid attacks pH < 5.5.
Menthol & Micro-Shine Crystals:
Mechanism: Natural menthol delivers an immediate cooling sensation while gentle silica cleaning agents physically lift exogenous surface stains without inducing enamel abrasion.
Safety Profile
The gel formulation uses non-aggressive, abrasive hydrated silica particles designed to maintain an acceptable Relative Dentin Abrasivity (RDA) level, ensuring safe daily application without causing enamel micro-wear or root dentin exposure.
Usage Instructions & Safety Precautions
To achieve optimal therapeutic and preventive efficacy, adhere to standard dental administration guidelines:
Dosage & Frequency
Adults & Children Aged 6 Years and Older: Apply a pea-sized amount to a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush thoroughly at least twice daily, or as directed by a dentist or medical professional.
Children Under 6 Years: Use a smear amount under adult supervision to minimize swallowing.
Application Procedure
Brush for a minimum of two minutes, ensuring coverage across buccal, lingual, and occlusal surfaces.
Gently sweep the brush over the dorsum of the tongue to remove bacterial coatings.
Expectorate (spit out) thoroughly after brushing. Avoid immediate rinsing with large volumes of water to allow residual fluoride contact time with enamel.
Safety Precautions & Storage
Oral Use Only: Do not swallow.
Accidental Ingestion: If a quantity greater than that used for normal brushing is swallowed, seek immediate medical assistance or contact a poison control center.
Fluoride Intake Monitoring: If consuming fluoride from other dietary or dental sources, consult a dentist before routine use.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place below 30c, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of young children.
