Colgate Duraphat 2800 Toothpaste

Description

Colgate Duraphat 2800 Toothpaste is a prescription only treatment that delivers better cavity protection than a conventional toothpaste.

It contains 2800ppm of fluoride which is approximately double the amount of fluoride in the strongest normal toothpastes. A high fluoride toothpaste prevents the formation of dental plaque that can make harmful acid that causes decay, but they can also help to repair damaged enamel before its too late. In the early stages of enamel demineralisation, use of Duraphat can help re-mineralise the eroded area.

Who can benefit from using Colgate Duraphat

Duraphat 2800 toothpaste is suitable for adults and children over 16 years of age who may be at risk from tooth decay. It can also help in patients with:

- Active tooth decay or a history of tooth decay
- Exposed root surfaces
- High sugar diets
- Orthodontic appliances
- Dry mouth

Brushing twice a day with Duraphat, reducing dietary sugar intake and using interdental brushes or floss will all help to reduce plaque and prevent tooth decay.
