Watch your gums if you want to save your teeth.

Prorrbocide Powder was compounded for the specific purpose of maintaining and restoring gum health. In addition to its ingredients which keep the teeth white and clean, it is medicated with Denticol, a germicidal and healing agent widely used by the dental profession in the treatment of Pyorrhea at the dentist's chair.

Prambocide Powder tones up the gums, stimulates their blood circulation, maintains hardness and firmness, thereby increasing the power to resist Prorrbera infection. Its effectiveness for this purpose has been conclusively proved by thorough - that in clinics derôtkä, exclusively Pyorrhea study and research. That is why dentiste everywhere recommend it.
