Toothpaste like dentist’s cleaning agent (1 of 2)

WHEN was the last time you visited a dentist to have your teeth cleaned? During the visit, you might also recall that paste-like substance applied on your teeth during the procedure.

These sand-like particles are actually silica that acts as polishers your dentist uses to remove stains on your teeth’s surface.

Colgate added this same substance in their latest product called Total Professional Clean Gel.

While this product is not meant to replace one’s twice-a-year appointment to the dentist (for regular checkup and professional cleaning), Colgate’s Total Professional Clean was developed to supplement the days when one is not required to see the dentist.

According to Colgate, their latest product contains high cleaning and polishing silica that promises to provide that so called “dentist-clean” feeling without being too abrasive. Colgate said using the new product promises a 61 percent better surface stain removal than regular fluoride toothpaste while providing 36 percent better polishing than regular fluoride toothpaste.
