Enamel mineral loss can result in degradation of the surface and sub-surface enamel, leading to changes in the hardness, shape, function and aesthetic qualities of the tooth, as well as increased sensitivity and the possibility of complete tooth loss.
July saw the launch of a new toothpaste and boosting serum combination, Unilever’s Regenerate Enamel Science. This system consists of an Advanced Toothpaste for daily brushing and a Boosting Serum (with two custom-fit mouth trays) for application at home, monthly for three consecutive days. When used in combination with the daily Advanced Toothpaste, the Boosting Serum increases the Advanced Toothpaste effectiveness by 43 per cent, enhancing the power of enamel regeneration.
