Colgate Gum Invigorate Revitalise Toothpaste 75 ml

Product Information

Sensodyne’s proprietary active ingredient 'Novamin' (calcium sodium phosphosilicate) forms a crystal layer on the surface of the dentine (hard tissue under the enamel that is the bulk of the tooth) and within dentine tubules - this effect is supported in clinical studies. Boosts good bacteria and reduces bad bacteria to help fight the causes of cavities and gum problems There isn’t enough clinical evidence to support cannabidiol, aloe vera, or vitamin E for gum health, and as with Colgate's gum toothpaste, ‘invigorate gums’ is not a scientifically meaningful phrase. Colgate told us its studies on Elixir White are confidential so it was unable to provide us with any specific evidence to show it's better than other whitening toothpastes. Based on the evidence given by LA Pacific, stain removal using this toothpaste would be better than basic fluoride toothpaste, but the claim it can ‘brighten’ teeth with ‘natural bleach’ might be overstating things.

Hydrated silica and calcium carbonate are mild abrasives that work to remove surface stains on teeth, while pyrophosphates can reduce calculus and tartar formation. For serious whitening (aka a celebrity-level 'Hollywood smile'), you need to get professional bleaching treatment.

Our research found that, while claims were generally supported, the overall benefits of expensive formulations may only be marginal. Hydrogen peroxide (a bleaching agent) is commonly used in whitening toothpastes, but it's a bit of a red herring as the legal limit for over-the-counter toothpastes is too low to actually affect the colour of your teeth. We asked a panel of dental experts to examine the evidence behind claims on six premium toothpastes and give their verdict on when it's worth spending more. But there are also plenty of marketing claims, such as ‘strengthens enamel’ and ‘prevents decay’, that are redundant because all fluoride toothpastes, regardless of price, will do these things. It doesn’t contain SLS (sodium lauryth sulfate , a surfactant), which Zendium claims makes it more suitable for ‘vulnerable’ mouths.
