Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste 75ml

Product Information

There are different types of fluoride, but stannous fluoride and sodium fluoride are most commonly used in toothpaste. Stannous fluoride acts as an antibacterial agent, which can help eliminate bad breath and plaque buildup. It can also help reduce tooth hypersensitivity when brushing. Sodium fluoride strengthens teeth and helps protect them from decay and cavities. So it’s more important now than ever that we strengthen our fight against cavities, to give our children a future to smile about. Abrasives: “Toothpastes may also contain calcium carbonate, silicate aluminum carbonates, or aluminum hydroxide; those things are abrasives,” says Dr. Manz. “I think most of the data really indicates that the action of the bristles of the toothbrush on our tooth is what really removes the majority of the plaque in the calculus.” These are cleaning and polishing agents added to toothpaste to remove surface stains and break up bacterial colonies. According to the ADA, toothpaste with a relative dentin abrasion of 250 or below is safe to use for daily brushing with appropriate techniques. Flavors

Clin Cosmet Investig Dent. 2014;6:89-94. doi:10.2147/CCIDE.S55761 When you’re shopping for toothpastes, you want to make sure that you are looking for ingredients that make you healthier,” says Erinne Kennedy, DMD, a dentist and spokesperson of the American Dental Association (ADA). Dr. Kennedy also recommends looking for active ingredients like fluoride and hydrogen peroxide, which will keep your mouth clean and free from disease. Most fluoride-based toothpastes contain a concentration of at least 1,000 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride. For people with severe tooth decay, a dentist may recommend a toothpaste with a concentration of up to 5,000 ppm. Guava leaf contains essential oils, flavonoids, tannins, eugenol, saponins, triterpenes, malic acid, and phenolic acid.[ 18] The potential pharmacologic activities of the extract from guava leaf have been reviewed including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-allergy, anti-genotoxic, anti, antiplasmodial, antispasmodic, cardioactive, cough suppressant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and antiplaque.[ 19] It has been reported that the extract of guava leaf reduced the adherence of early plaque bacteria to an experimental pellicle.[ 20] Razak and Rahim,[ 21] in 2006, also found that treatment of the early plaque settlers with aqueous guava extract reduced the cell-surface hydrophobicity of Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mitis, and Actinomyces sp. The extract was observed to have the ability to alter and disturb the surface characteristics of the early plaque settlers and make them less adherent leading to its potential as an antiplaque and anticalculus agent. Plaque contains bad germs that can metabolise sugar to produce acids, in turn these acids cause mineral loss and weaken the teeth. The power of arginine lies in the fact that it helps feed the good flora and weaken the effects of the bad germs, allowing the new formula to offer clinically proven enamel protection with 4x more enamel strengthening power*.Fiorillo L, Cervino G, Herford AS, Laino L, Cicciù M.

Those patients with sensitive teeth should look for brands like Sensodyne that incorporate potassium nitrate into their toothpaste formulas, as potassium nitrate helps to soothe inflamed nerves,” Dr. Kunen suggests. If you're unsure which toothpaste will best fit your individual needs, ask your dentist for guidance. If you have any special dental needs—for example bleeding gums or sensitive teeth—you should choose a toothpaste formulated for that reason. Many people who fall into this category find traditional toothpastes too harsh for their needs. Recently, there has been a growing interest in natural products. People's interest has been shifted from synthetic toothpaste to herbal toothpaste. Herbal toothpaste does not contain any artificial colors or flavors that many of the regular toothpaste have. Artificial colors and flavors of the toothpaste are also giving birth to many diseases and health-related issues. The demand for herbal toothpaste suppliers has risen due to the great advantages which are associated with this toothpaste type. There are a number of brands of herbal toothpaste on the market. Abhaibhubejhr is a widely known herbal-based toothpaste containing Guava leaves, Betel vine leaves, and Mangosteem peel for which medicinal properties are claimed. However, many of the health claims made for them have not been clinically proven.Test phase: Oral soft/hard tissue and calculus examination, randomization of subjects, oral prophylaxis and toothpaste use at home As the global leader in Oral Care we continue to be committed to making the best scientific and technology advances available to all
