Stronger protection against cavities than a fluoride toothpaste alone
Elmex Anti-Caries Professional Toothpaste is a fluoride toothpaste for adults and children from 6 who want stronger protection against cavities. After eating, plaque bacteria break down sugars into acids that lower the pH on the tooth surface and dissolve enamel minerals. Its Sugar Acid Neutralizer technology, based on arginine and calcium carbonate, neutralises these acids and brings the pH back to healthy levels. Together with 1450 ppm fluoride, which helps remineralise the enamel, it gives clinically proven better cavity prevention than fluoride toothpaste alone, with less demineralisation and more remineralisation in studies.
The texture
A smooth white paste with a fresh mint taste that foams moderately and rinses cleanly.
Who it suits
- Adults and children from 6 years
- Teeth prone to cavities
- Frequent snackers or sugary diets
- A daily family fluoride toothpaste
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains sodium lauryl sulfate, which some people with mouth ulcers prefer to avoid. For sensitive teeth, the Elmex Sensitive range is a better fit, and children under 6 need a lower-fluoride toothpaste.
How long one tube lasts
With a pea-sized amount twice a day, one 75ml tube lasts about six to eight weeks for one person.
