Maintain a Clean, Healthy Mouth

Oral health is an important factor of overall health. In order to maintain oral health, it is important to help prevent the growth of bacteria in the mouth. In the absence of brushing, this bacteria forms dental plaque that has been linked to various diseases that originate in the mouth, including gingivitis. One study showed that "plaque on teeth can provide a breeding ground for this growth of bacteria."¹

Using Sage's line of Toothette ^® Oral Care products, you can help reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the mouth and promote oral health. Trust that you are achieving a clean, healthy mouth with the #1 trusted brand of oral care in hospitals.

Remove Secretions for Those who Cannot Expectorate (Spit)to prevent infection

The Q·Care® Covered Yankauer connects to your standard suction tubing to remove debris and secretions from the oral cavity. It's easy to use and the soft tip is gentle on fragile oral tissue. Our unique retractable sleeve covers the Yankauer between uses to contain any oral secretions and protect it from dirt and debris.
