Colored teeth: whitening toothpaste!
Are your teeth dull, stained or yellowed? Different factors can be at the origin of this coloring such as cigarettes, tea or coffee. To find a dazzling smile, use a whitening toothpaste. Thanks to formulas containing whitening agents, for example sodium bicarbonate, it will gradually eliminate stains and coloring present on your teeth and help you regain their natural whiteness.
Use two or three times a day after each meal. To avoid attacking your gums, the ideal is to alternate between a whitening toothpaste and a traditional toothpaste, or to use gentle formulas like that of Sanogyl Whiteness & Care.
Irritated gums? Protective care toothpaste!
Sensitivity, pain, bleeding, loosening … 50% of oral problems are caused by poorly maintained gums * and nearly 3 in 4 people will suffer from gum problems at least once in their life **. Prevention of gum problems is therefore essential.
The occasional swelling and bleeding of the gums is mainly due to the accumulation and calcification of dental plaque, a deposit made up of bacteria, food residues and saliva, between the teeth and the gum.
Prevent these conditions with a special gum toothpaste, which contains specific components such as Vitamins E and B5, which helps strengthen sensitive gums and remove plaque.

Sensitive teeth? Soft toothpaste!
Do you have a toothache in contact with hot or cold, when you eat acidic or sweet foods, or even simply when brushing?
You are then a victim of tooth sensitivity. The causes can be a weakened enamel or the exposure of the dentin (lower layer located below the enamel, which contains microscopic channels, capable of transmitting stimuli to the dental nerve) in the event of gingival recession, for example.
Choose a specific toothpaste for sensitive teeth that helps repair weakened areas and prevent pain.
For best results, brush your teeth with this toothpaste for at least a month using a soft-headed toothbrush.
Decayed teeth: fluoride toothpaste!
Opt for a toothpaste rich in fluoride. This mineral element is fixed in the enamel and prevents the appearance of cavities.
Choose a toothpaste with between 100 to 150 mg of fluoride per 100 g (or 1000 to 1500 ppm (parts per million)). For children, the recommendations are different because excess fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, that is, the appearance of stains on the teeth. Up to 6 years old, choose toothpaste for your children with a content of no more than 50 mg per 100 g (i.e. 500 ppm).
