ELGYDIUM TOOTH DECAY PROTECTION is a toothpaste designed for effective protection against the acid attacks that cause tooth decay. It is mint-flavoured, with a 1350 ppm fluoride content and contains siliglycol which promotes the take-up of fluoride at the surface of the tooth.

Product advantages

• Helps more fluoride bind to the enamel

Effective for

• Tooth decay in adults

Recommended for

• Adults
• Juniors
• Teenagers

How to use

For brushing after every meal, with a soft toothbrush. In the case of fluoride supplements from other sources, consult a dentist or doctor.

Professional opinion

The Fluorinol® in ELGYDIUM TOOTH DECAY PROTECTION toothpaste enables the fluoride to bind firmly to the teeth after the first minute of brushing. This enhanced protection means better daily oral hygiene. This toothpaste is particularly recommended for brace wearers.

Composition

Fluorinol® (nicomethanol hydrofluoride, 1350 ppm fluoride ions, patented (Patent France 75. 23715)),

• Binds firmly to the enamel to help remineralise, strengthen and protect the teeth.

Siliglycol (PEG-12 dimethicone)

• Film-forming agent that promotes fluoride take-up by the enamel.

Clinical results

• Nicomethanol hydrofluoride (Fluorinol®) helps to remineralise and protect the tooth enamel. It helps the enamel take up five times more fluoride, from the first minute of contact, compared with a standard mineral fluoride (1). This fluoride then helps remineralise the enamel and leaves it more resistant to the acid attacks that cause tooth decay.
• Siliglycol (PEG-12 dimethicone) is a film-forming agent that promotes fluoride take-up by the enamel (2).
