Cleaning and Purifying Enamel so that teeth stay thicker and whiter for life.
Problem
Thinning
Thinning
Oral bacteria break down sugars and create acid. Drinks like fruit juice and soda are acidic. All that acid leads to a lifetime of tooth thinning.
Cavities
Cavities
Even with fluoride in our toothpaste and regular treatment at the dentist, cavities are persistent because acid (created by bacteria) ``breaks through`` enamel.
Inconsistent Fluoride Coating
InconsistentFluoride Coating
Fluoride provides a coating, or layer, of fluorapatite on top of our enamel to help resist acidic breakdown of the enamel. The fluoride coating is inconsistent, routinely does not attach well, and wears quickly.
Yellow Teeth
Yellow Teeth
As we age our enamel thins due to repeated acid attacks over many years leading to yellow teeth that become brittle.
