🧪 ZINC GLUCONATE:
NEUTRALISES VOLATILE SULFUR COMPOUNDS (VSCS): VSCs are a major cause of bad breath. Zinc gluconate effectively binds with and neutralizes VSCS formed by the breakdown of food residues that cause the unpleasant odors.
ANTIBACTERIAL: Zinc ions inhibit the growth of bacteria that contribute to plaque formation and gum disease.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: Zinc's anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated gums and reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis.
PROMOTES HEALING: Zinc supports the body's natural healing processes, which can be beneficial for healing mouth ulcers and other oral wounds.
REMINERALIZES ENAMEL: Zinc contributes to the remineralization of tooth enamel, strengthening teeth and making them more resistant to decay.
STOPS CALCULUS FORMATION: Zinc inhibits the maturation of plaque and calculus (tartar).
🧪 OLAFLUR:
FLUORIDE INCORPORATION: Olaflur helps incorporate fluoride ions into the tooth enamel, forming a more resistant surface.
CARIES PREVENTION: By strengthening the enamel, Olaflur reduces the risk of cavities forming.
REMINERALIZATION: Olaflur also helps in the remineralization of early-stage enamel damage.
🧪 HYDROXYAPATITE: 2% Remineralizes & strengthens the tooth enamel, reduce tooth sensitivity, and potentially prevents tooth decay and reducing the risk of cavities.
🧪 SODIUM FLUORIDE: 29% LACALUT® FLORA has one of the highest content of Sodium Fluoride in any toothpaste available on the market.
Sodium Fluoride strengthens teeth by integrating into the enamel structure, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars. It promotes remineralization, where calcium and phosphate ions are brought to the tooth surface to repair early tooth decay.
In summary, higher fluoride = better resistance to decay and bacteria that cause cavities.
While most medicated, halitosis toothpaste (even prescription ones) only contain 500 PPM - 950 PPM (parts per million), LACALUT® FLORA contains a whopping 1482 PPM which makes it effective not just against bad breath but also against tooth decay.
