Swissdent Biocare Toothpaste Launches In The UK
Swiss dental cosmetics collection Swissdent is paving a whole new path through the dentistry arena. Its latest (and in our opinion greatest) launch sees tooth whitening and tooth health both catered for by a toothpaste carrying a blend of enamel shielding ingredients that gently lift staining whilst enhancing the tooth’s protective outer barrier.
A unique blend of herbal ingredients has been fused with the latest in dental technology to support not only the teeth but also the gums. Hyaluronic Acid, more commonly associated with facial moisturisers and best known for its ultra-powerful hydrating properties, has been worked into the formula to improve gum health and condition the tissue within the mouth. What’s more, this Toothpaste has a low-abrasive approach to cleaning the teeth meaning that the enamel isn’t damaged nor compromised during use.
How does Biocare remove stains?
Swissdent's founder and Cosmetic Dentist, Dr Velkoborsky, specialises in removing discolouration from heavily stained teeth and realised the need for a gentle whitening formula that was both mineralising and whitening, therefore protecting the teeth whilst maintaining performance. Dr Velkoborsky discovered the whitening effect that an enzyme found naturally in Papaya has on the teeth. Papain is a protein found in the fruit and when applied to the teeth it gently breaks down staining and reveals a whiter, more youthful looking finish. Dr Velkoborsky has used this exact ingredient since 2006 with great success.
Other ingredients to note:
L-Arginine - an amino acid also found it protein-rich foods. It stimulates blood flow, reduces the risk of dental decay and reduces sensitivity. L-Arginine has also been proven to break-down dental plaque.
Gotu Kola Extract - commonly found in Chinese and Ayurvedic (Indian) medicines, this herb has been proven to treat bacterial and parasitic infections. In the mouth it helps to naturally destroy decay-causing bacteria.
