Description

Dental cavities are caused by the consumption of foods that are rich in sugar or starch. Through the accumulation of dental plaque germs, the food then gets converted into acids which weaken the tooth structure over time. Fluoride has been a key component of toothpaste for over 50 years, targeting the tooth itself to help make it stronger and working by helping to prevent mineral loss and enhance mineral gain by being incorporated into the tooth as fluorapatite. However, it has proven to help protect against cavities to an extent, but not enough to eradicate them. With the incorporation of arginine, Colgate has established a toothpaste technology that targets the true cause of cavities, the plague germs. This toothpaste has 4x more strengthening power.
