Professional opinion
Protecting children’s milk teeth from decay is essential for healthy permanent teeth. Good oral hygiene habits should be established during early childhood and maintained for healthy teeth and gums. ELGYDIUM KIDS BANANA toothpaste is formulated so that the fluoride binds firmly to the teeth after the first minute of brushing. This toothpaste’s cleaning action is gentle on gums and the thinner enamel of milk teeth.
Composition
Fluorinol® (nicomethanol hydrofluoride, 500 ppm fluoride ions, patented by Pierre Fabre Laboratories)
- 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, even after rinsing.
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 brushing, 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, even after rinsing (2).
