Seysso Oxygen toothpaste, 75 ml

Read more about seysso oxygen.

SEYSSO remineralising toothpaste with high hydroxyapatite nanoparticle content that rebuilds enamel and fights bad breath. Perfect for sonic toothbrushes.

The paste can be used from 7 years of age.

The SEYSSO Oxygen Remineralization and Reconstruction toothpaste effectively rebuilds and strengthens enamel, helps to counteract sensitive teeth and prevents caries at initial stages. All thanks to the innovative Smart HAp Particles formula, which operates on the basis of a synergy of four active ingredients -hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, xylitol, potassium nitrate and zinc citrate. The paste has a refreshing, minty taste, providing a long-lasting feeling of freshness. With the right consistency and low foaming level, the SEYSSO toothpaste is the perfect choice for sonic toothbrushes. The paste does not contain fluoride or SLS. It has a low abrasion rate (RDA=57), so it is safe for tooth enamel and can be used on a daily basis. 

How do active ingredients in the SEYSSO Oxygen Remineralisation and Reconstruction toothpaste work?

Hydroxyapatite

SEYSSO uses medical hydroxyapatite of the highest-quality. What is this ingredient? It is a mineral naturally present in our teeth and bones. It creates a mineral scaffolding, which is responsible for the mechanical strength of bone tissue and teeth. Hydroxyapatite has been added to the SEYSSO paste in the form of easily absorbable nanoparticles, making its action even more effective. How does it work? It closes exposed dentine tubulars and forms a protective layer on the surface of the teeth, which helps to fight the cause of sensitive teeth. It rebuilds microbeads in the enamel and prevents caries from proceeding in its initial phase. It is worth noting that the SEYSSO Oxygen Remineralisation and Reconstruction paste contains as many as 5% of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, which ensures its high effectiveness. 

Potassium nitrate

Potassium nitrate is an active compound that reduces symptoms of sensitive teeth. It works immediately, which is its huge advantage. It blocks pain neuroreceptors, bringing quick relief to people struggling with hypersensitivity, for example after whitening their teeth. 

Zinc citrate

Zinc citrate is a compound that helps to fight bad breath. Halitosis, an unpleasant smell on the mouth, is usually caused by anaerobic bacteria that develop there. Zinc citrate effectively eliminates bad breath due to the fact that it binds volatile sulphur fragrances produced by bacteria. The addition of natural menthol leaves a pleasant refreshing feeling after washing your teeth.

Xylitol, or birch sugar, is a natural substance that inhibits Streptococcus mutans caries bacteria multiplication. Xylitol helps to keep oral microflora in balance. Restores the optimal pH in the mouth, thanks to which tooth enamel is less susceptible to the negative effects of acids. It also increases the production of saliva, which provides a natural protection for enamel against bacteria.

Sonic Friendly toothpaste - perfect for sonic toothbrushes

The formula from the SEYSSO Oxygen Remineralisation and Reconstruction toothpaste has been created to fully explore the potential of sonic toothbrushes. It has optimal consistency, a low RDA abrasion factor and a low foaming. The paste does not contain highly abrasive ingredients or SLS, which could cause irritation of the oral mucosa.

SEYSSO Planet Stacjonarny Irygator do zębów

Irygatory do zębów – innowacja w domowej higienie.

Warto poznać niesamowite urządzenie, jakim jest irygator do zębów. Jego działanie jest nieskomplikowane, a zarazem nieocenione w codziennym dbaniu o czystość. Osoby, które mają stłoczone zęby i trudno im nawet włożyć między nie nić dentystyczną oraz posiadacze aparatów ortodontycznych szczególnie powinni się nim zainteresować, ponieważ nitkowanie wodne zupełnie odmieni i ulepszy ich codzienne czyszczenie jamy ustnej. Właściwie można uznać, że irygator to produkt dla każdego, ponieważ dba o dziąsła, czyści przestrzenie międzyzębowe, kieszonki dziąsłowe i wszystkie trudno dostępne miejsca.

Jak działa irygator do zębów?

Irygatory do zębów to urządzenia przeznaczone do codziennego mycia zębów, przestrzeni międzyzębowych i aparatów ortodontycznych oraz masażu dziąseł. Wąski strumień wody pomaga dokładnie usunąć pozostałości pokarmów oraz zalegającą płytkę nazębną. Dostępne programy pracy, jakie posiada każdy irygator do zębów SEYSSO to czyszczący oraz masujący. Niektóre modele zostały wyposażone w dodatkowy tryb Soft, czyli delikatny. Jeśli dopiero kupiliśmy urządzenie dajmy sobie czas na oswojenie się z nim. Wybierzmy od razu program Soft lub najmniejszą możliwą moc. Nasze dziąsła powinny przystosować się do irygacji w ciągu kilku dni. Po tym czasie możemy stosować program delikatny naprzemiennie z normalnym oraz korzystać z pulsacyjnej funkcji masażu.

Irygator do zębów stacjonarny i bezprzewodowy

Bez względu na to, czy posiadamy irygator do zębów bezprzewodowy czy model stacjonarny, oba te urządzenia mogą pomóc skutecznie usuwać bakterie. W zestawie zawsze dostajemy wszystkie potrzebne końcówki: standardową, do kieszonek dziąsłowych i do aparatów ortodontycznych. W kompaktowych modelach pojemnik na wodę o pojemności 150 ml pozwoli na szybkie umycie wszystkich miejsc lub dokładniejsze oczyszczenie po 1-2 uzupełnieniach. Urządzenie stacjonarne posiada pojemnik na 600 ml wody, lekką rączkę na długim przewodzie oraz schowek na końcówki. W komplecie z irygatorem stacjonarnym mamy też końcówkę do języka w kształcie małej, zaokrąglonej łopatki.

Jak używać irygatora do zębów?

Irygatory do zębów możemy używać dowolną liczbę razy. Najlepiej, jeśli będziemy stosować nitkowanie wodne zawsze w pierwszej kolejności. Pozbędziemy się w ten sposób resztek pokarmów przed myciem i polerowaniem szczoteczką. Urządzenia stacjonarne posiadają wygodny timer, który odmierza idealny czas dwóch minut i dzieli go na 30-sekundowe interwały. Irygatory do zębów mogą być uzupełnieniem codziennej higieny albo bardzo efektywnym zamiennikiem dla nici dentystycznych oraz szczoteczek międzyzębowych. Doskonale wyczyszczą aparaty, korony oraz mosty, usuną płytkę nazębną z trudno dostępnych miejsc i pozostawią uczucie świeżości.

W ofercie marki SEYSSO znajdziesz również najlepsze szczoteczki soniczne , które zadbają o Twoje zęby. Oferujemy także najlepszą szczoteczkę soniczną dla dzieci , czyli SEYSSO Baby Penguin, odpowiednią dla maluchów od narodzin do 3 roku życia.

SEYSSO Oxygen

The O-Sonic toothbrush is the first model from the newest series by Seysso Oxygen and also one of the fastest models available on the market (even up to 96.000 pulsations per minute!). Very solid, for a debut and a new opening. The device will meet the users’ needs without any problems, offering a very satisfying and high quality of its design, along with varied cleaning modes available for a pretty reasonable price. There are 3 advanced cleaning modes available at our disposal, differing from one another in brushing speed, along with every single standard convenience such as the intelligent timer or battery power display. All of that translates into a comfort in use, along with effective and expedient tooth brushing.

First impressions

As expected from this line and the price itself, the quality of the toothbrush and its components is very high. Solid housing, precise detail work and durable materials all mean the same in every case – very high resistance to the hardships of daily usage. In this aspect, the toothbrush reviewed here surpasses its similarly priced competition easily. It’s worth mentioning the main control panel as well, with its great, backlit design and comfortable use. In the set we can find the basic extras and 2 types of heads (standard and made for gentle cleaning).

Seysso Oxygen O-Sonic looks hi-tech, while the entire structure is handy and ensures comfort in use. Changing cleaning modes and heads is intuitive and easy. By comparison to the previous models from this manufacturer, we can easily call it revolutionary in terms of design. The makers have decided to depart from the usual color of black, dominating the color schemes of the previous devices, and go for the more trendy white and silver look. Definitely a change for the better.

• Toothbrush (handle)
• Replaceable head (Sensitive)
• Replaceable head (Oxygen Clean)
• Protective overlay for the head of the brush
• Protective case

Performance

Seysso Oxygen O-Sonic is a model utilizing the sonic technology and, according to the manufacturer, capable of reaching even 96.000 movements per minute (in Whitening Mode). The device is great at removing residue and is gentle to teeth and gums.

3 cleaning modes can be used:

Clean –  classic tooth brushing (82000 movements).

Whitening – the mode suited for restoring the original color of our teeth and removing discolorations (96000 movements).

Soft – the mode specially for people with sensitive teeth and gums – gentle brushing (62000 movements).

The toothbrush is waterproof and has the standard time control systems which measure the actual brushing time (2-minute timer and a reminder on moving to another part of our mouth every 30 seconds). The battery, once fully charged, can work for 60 days (when used twice a day, 2 minutes per use). On the housing we can find the display of its power level.

Russian Far East: top 10 experiences

Aug 10, 2018 • 6 min read

The limestone Lena Pillars are a popular cruise trip from Yakutsk © Vicky Ivanova / Shutterstock

The Russian Far East has a mystique that’s been luring travellers for generations. With the volcanoes and geysers of Kamchatka, ancient stone pillars on the Lena River and some of the world’s coldest and remotest human settlements, as well as the cosmopolitan cities of Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, the region has something for everyone. Russia’s poignant past is present here too, from the BAM (Baikal-Amur Mainline) railway to the infamous Kolyma Highway that runs to Magadan, the most notorious outpost of the Far Eastern Gulag system.

Vladivostok

The ‘Master of the East’, a hip, dynamic city with an impressive setting in the Golden Horn Bay, Vladivostok is the unofficial capital of the Russian Far East and a cultural heavyweight in its own right. St Petersburg’s renowned Mariinsky Theatre has inaugurated the Primorsky Stage in the city in recent years, joining the new Hermitage Vladivostok branch and the stellar Zarya Centre for Contemporary Art as the city’s premier cultural attractions. Meanwhile, the S-56 Submarine , Fort No 7 and the Vladivostok Fortress Museum pay homage to the city’s background as Russia’s most important eastern naval base. Vladivostok’s dining scene is second only to Moscow and St Petersburg, and numerous cocktail bars and pubs attract night owls. If the frenetic pace is a little overwhelming, you can always escape to the beaches on Russky Island and Popov Island .

Right in the heart of the legendary Kamchatka peninsula, the little town of Esso is the jumping-off spot for some terrific hiking, soaking in the istochniki (hot springs) and rafting on the nearby Bystraya River. Charming  izbas (wooden cottages) sit in a pine-scented valley, surrounded by forested mountains. A well-marked network of hiking trails threads its way through the surrounding Bystrinsky Nature Park, ranging in difficulty and in length – the shortest is 2km, the longest 42km.

Valley of Geysers, Kamchatka

Accessible only by a helicopter tour from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the smoking Dolina Geyzerov is the star attraction of  Kamchatka – the volcano- and geyser-studded peninsula that has the most dramatic, volatile topography in all of Russia. This 8km-long valley, bisected by the Geysernaya River, is dotted with several dozen geysers that sporadically blast steam, mud and water towards the sky. Some of the more colourful ones can be admired while strolling along a specially made boardwalk.

The remote capital of the Sakha Republic, Yakutsk is both the world’s coldest city and a marvel of Soviet engineering, built entirely on permafrost. Its tangle of overground pipes, carrying water and gas, is a peculiar sight, but Yakutsk is a surprisingly cosmopolitan place despite its isolation. A visit to the quirky  Permafrost Kingdom is particularly worthwhile, with its never-melting sculptures of pagan gods and mythological characters, while the National Art Museum introduces you to the mammoth tusk carvings and paintings by Sakha artists. The best places to try Sakha delicacies such as indigirka (raw, frozen fish), reindeer and zherebyatiny (colt fillet) are Chochur Muran and Makhtal restaurants.

Riding the BAM railway

Stretching for some 4324km from Severobaikalsk (on the northern shores of Lake Baikal) to the Sea of Okhotsk, the BAM (Baikal-Amur Mainline) is a triumph of railway engineering (and convict labour) and the less-taken alternative to the Trans-Siberian Railway. With its bridges spanning the mighty Lena and Amur rivers, its tunnels blasted through kilometres of sheer rock, and its tracks running through dense spruce forest and taiga, riding the BAM is a wonderful way to get to know ordinary Russians. You might find yourself sharing a beer or hot tea and heaped spoons of caviar with miners or lumberjacks, who’ll be intensely curious about you. It’s worth disembarking in Tynda, where travel writer Dervla Murphy got stuck while writing Through Siberia by Accident, to visit the BAM Museum, and in Komsomolsk-na-Amure, to check out the grand Soviet-era mosaics and the riverside beach.

Some 650km east of Yakutsk, the tiny reindeer and silver fox breeding station of Oymyakon (population around 500) is the coldest permanently inhabited place on Earth, with temperatures in the nearby valleys dropping as low as -82°C. Various travel agencies in Yakutsk, including Visit Yakutia , organise week-long tours to Oymyakon to attend the annual Pole of Cold Festival in late March, featuring reindeer races, outdoor concerts and other festivities.

Whether you come here in winter for the ice sculptures, or in summer for the lively nightlife and the Amur River beach, Khabarovsk is a breath of fresh air, especially if you’ve spent days cooped up on the train before getting here. Its wide boulevards are lined with stately, tsarist-era buildings (spot the Far Eastern State Research Library and the Tsentralny Gastronom), and there are numerous green walkways for strolling around the city, including those on Amursky bul and Ussuriysky bul. The burgeoning dining scene’s highlights are Georgian cuisine at Satsivi  and fusion at Farsh ; some good bars are dotted around the city centre, including the hipster Brozbar , with a good range of craft beer.

Magadan and Kolyma Highway

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and hemmed in by the Sea of Okhotsk, Magadan is a surprisingly pleasant city, given its dark past. Described as the ‘pole of cold and cruelty’ in Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago, it was the most notorious of the Stalinist forced labour camps from the 1930s to mid-1950s. The harsh sub-Arctic climate and dreadful work conditions are believed to have killed over a million prisoners in the Kolyma region, commemorated by the giant Mask of Sorrow monument on a hillside above Magadan, as well as at the Magadan Regional Museum . You can get here by air, or via the Russian Far East’s most ambitious road trip – a three- or four-day journey from Yakutsk by 6WD vehicle or truck along the Kolyma Highway, aka the ‘road of bones’, built on the backs of countless Gulag labourers.

Lena Pillars

The Russian Far East’s most popular cruise is the two-day jaunt from Yakutsk to the Lenskie Stolby (Lena Pillars) along the mighty Lena River. Resembling a petrified forest, the 80km-long, 35-million-year-old limestone pillars reach for the sky along the riverbank – a startling sight after you’ve spent many hours floating through impenetrable spruce forest. Lena Tur Flot  runs 36- and 46-hour cruises here aboard its two comfy cruise ships; you’ll even get to see a shaman ceremony.

Blagoveshchensk

A remote Russian outpost since 1644, this frontier town faces its rather more modern Chinese neighbour, Heihe, across the Amur River. However, it’s worth making the detour 110km south of the main Trans-Siberian Railway line to Blagoveshchensk to check out the charming tsarist-era architecture that dots the town centre; another highlight is the extensive  Amur Regional Museum . Blagoveshchensk is also one of the easiest places in Russia from which to enter China (though you’ll need to organise your visa in advance).
