COLGATE Duraphat is a toothpaste specially designed to help prevent the growth of coronal and root caries in people over 16 years of age. Studies show that this benefit can be 3 times greater than that obtained with conventional toothpaste.
The fluoride remaining in the saliva continues to work to remineralise the teeth, a factor that helps control tooth decay that has not reached the crown of the tooth. This remineralisation process is especially favourable for helping to heal small cracks in the tooth enamel.
This is due to fluoride's ability to act in synergy with the other minerals found in saliva to retard the formation of bacteria. These microorganisms that lodge in the dental cavity form tartar and later dental plaque, which causes caries and gingivitis.
This property was enhanced in this toothpaste created for people who have recently developed caries or still suffer from them. Also for those who are undergoing dental treatment and have exposed periodontal or root tissues.
Sugar lovers constantly feed the bacterial plaque, which makes it more difficult to be removed. This is why a toothpaste like this one can be of great help. Dry mouth is caused by conditions such as diabetes and stroke. Saliva is the teeth's natural form of remineralisation.
That is why people suffering from dry mouth and those who wear braces need special care for their teeth; for all of them, this toothpaste was created.
This is how this toothpaste has become a substitute for conventional toothpaste for people with special needs in the care of their teeth.
