Ionic

An ionic molecule is one in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical electrostatic charge.

Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.

If there are more protons than electrons, the atom or molecule will be positively charged.  This is the state of dental tartar (calculus), which comprised almost entirely of calcium phosphate salt.

If there are more electrons than protons, the atom or molecule will be negatively charged. This is the case for the key ingredients in Periogen®.

Periogen bonds with tartar molecules which improves the level of electrostatic charge, thus releasing tartar components from their matrix.

The dissolution of tartar ends gum disease and restores periodontal health.
