About CHX

History

A University of Toronto discovery, commercialized into the first preventive treatment for dental decay in high-risk adults.

  1. 01 — Origin

    The roots of CHX are at the University of Toronto where researchers originated the concept of treating the bacteria causing dental decay with a strong, sustained-release antiseptic.

  2. 02 — Commercialization

    CHX commercialized this discovery with years of pre-clinical and clinical studies, manufacturing studies and regulatory approvals for Prevora to become the first preventive treatment for dental decay in high-risk adults.

  3. 03 — In practice

    Over the past 10 years, Canadian dental professionals have used Prevora to prevent cavities and to treat gum disease proving how cost-effective and compelling Prevora is to older, high-risk adults.

  4. 04 — Today

    Most recently, Prevora has been spurred by the social movement to Healthy Aging and by Prevora's ability to integrate preventive dental care into community settings such as a seniors' centre, a hospital, a medical practice and long-term care facilities.
