Well put, Brian. The two tubes I have on hand, allegedly the PBF, have next to no info on them. Only: "Plaque-biofilm loosening formula" (whatever that means) and a little tag "with xylitol".

The single active ingredient on the back is: "Sodium Monoflurophosphate (0.14% w/v fluoride ion)". It's purpose is "Anticavity".

I'm comforted by the ion.
