  • Fluoride toothpastes: The trace element increases the resistance of enamel and hinder the settlement of bacteria on the tooth surface. Also inhibit the metabolism of bacteria, their components and thus the acid production. Fluoride toothpaste is also promoting the absorption of minerals in tooth enamel. They act contrary to a demineralization.
  • Healthy Eating: Fully featured, versatile and balanced food to strengthen the entire immune system and reduce the morbidity. Whole grains and fresh fruit and vegetables not only deliver to the tooth substance important nutrients and trace elements.
