Description
What is Colgate Duraphat?
Colgate Duraphat is toothpaste used to prevent dental caries (tooth decay) and rot. Its efficacy is proven over a wide range of patients, and it delivers results without disrupting the normal daily routine of the patients.
How does it work?
The active ingredient prevents build-up of plaque which is responsible for causing dental carries. It also strengthens the enamel making it more resistant to acids. It is available in 2 strengths 2800 ppm (0.619%) and 5000ppm (1.1%).
Is Colgate Duraphat toothpaste suitable for me?
It is suitable for adults and adolescents aged over 16 years. It may not be suitable if you have the following:
- Are allergic to sodium fluoride or any other ingredients in the toothpaste
- Using other fluoride tablets, gum or chewables
