What is Colgate Duraphat Fluoride Toothpaste?
Colgate Duraphat is a toothpaste medically formulated to prevent tooth decay in adolescents aged 16 and over, and in adults. Intended for people at high risk of multiple caries (coronal and/or root caries), it acts effectively thanks to a high concentration of fluoride in the form of sodium fluoride. This product belongs to the category of anti-caries prophylactics, offering an optimal preventive solution against tooth enamel demineralization.
Its concentrated formula contains 5,000 ppm fluoride, a much higher dose than conventional toothpastes. This dosage strengthens tooth enamel, promotes remineralization and limits the adhesion of cavity-causing bacteria. A protective shield is thus formed, providing an effective barrier against acid attacks from food and drink.
This toothpaste is particularly recommended for people with a history of frequent cavities, weakened enamel or increased risk linked to certain dietary or medical habits. Its unique formulation is designed to penetrate deep into the enamel and optimize fluoride binding, significantly reducing the risk of cavities.
Fluoride plays an essential role in dental prevention, and Colgate Duraphat takes full advantage of its benefits. Its remineralizing action rebuilds weakened enamel and reverses the early stages of decay. Unlike conventional toothpastes, which are limited to a surface effect, this toothpaste penetrates deep down for long-lasting protection.
Finally, its refreshing minty taste ensures a lasting sensation of cleanliness after each brushing. Its smooth texture and specific composition guarantee comfortable, irritation-free daily use.
Thanks to its high fluoride concentration, Colgate Duraphat acts as a genuine protective shield against external aggression. Tooth enamel, constantly exposed to acids from food and bacterial plaque, can gradually weaken, leading to cavities. This medically-formulated toothpaste slows down demineralization and optimizes the natural remineralization process, reinforcing tooth structure over the long term. By penetrating deep into the enamel, it promotes fluoride fixation and creates a lasting barrier against acid attacks, considerably reducing the risk of caries lesions.
Its action is not limited to cavity prevention: it also helps reduce tooth sensitivity in patients suffering from premature enamel wear. By forming a protective film on the tooth surface, it reduces pain associated with thermal, sweet or acidic stimuli. This enhanced protection is particularly recommended for people prone to gum recession or enamel damage caused by bruxism. With daily use, Colgate Duraphat helps preserve a healthy, radiant smile by strengthening the integrity of teeth in the face of everyday aggressions.
To complete your dental care routine and maximize the benefits of fluoride, we also recommend Fluodontyl 1350 mg Fluoride Toothpaste 75 ml.
How to use this toothpaste
Apply a 2 cm ribbon of toothpaste to a soft toothbrush. Brush your teeth 3 times a day after each meal, using vertical movements from gum to tooth tip. Optimal brushing should last around 3 minutes to ensure maximum protection against cavities.
