External properties
The tube looks adequately, small and convenient. It was thought that such volume is just suitable for trips, campaigns. Everything is convenient.
Inside there is a snow-white structure. Dense and uniform.
And began to smell – quite traditional. As Pomorin, usual.
A little I was made laugh by this phrase (below).
At first thought that advise simply to use with toothbrushes. And then saw the Oral-B logo. But it is all the same unclear if without this brush, then paste is not so effective?
Structure
The structure is not ideal, it precisely. Well the fact that it is not enough ingredients and is not present anything unknown and unfamiliar. If to try to find ingredient to which there would be no claims then it is water (aqua), and it is not a joke. Each of components can be written down safely in "doubtful". It is good that paste is not called "for family use" because for children this paste precisely cannot be used (on the picture, by the way, there are no children, and it is right).
Almost every second ingredient – is undesirable. Sorbitol, sulfate, saccharin, fragrances and dyes. aqua, hydrated silica, cellulose gum, carbomer, citral are more or less acceptable.
Active fluorine
As for fluorine – more and more unpleasant information about him meets recently. Fluoride strengthens enamel (but only in case water does not contain fluorine, differently the surplus of fluorine will not strengthen, and will destroy enamel), but, unfortunately, has negative effect on health. For example, it is known that fluorine is an endocrine destroyer, weakens action of a thyroid gland and function of adrenal glands. Fluorine increases risk of development of cancer, leads to DNA damage, deactivates enzymes in an organism, accelerates aging, destroys the immune system.Generally, it turns out that if fluorine is in water, then it is undesirable, and it is better to leave such places, and to look for fluorine in toothpaste. And for children in general it is impossible to use the fluorinated toothpaste, children cannot control ingestion of a quantity of paste.
Mass fraction of fluorine in this paste – 1450 ppm (it is a so-called million share, 1 mg/l = 1 ppm), sodium fluoride as a percentage – 0.321%.
Bleaching
I not really understand why on paste "delicate bleaching" is written. In what can the sensitivity be? Paste or bleaches, or not. And it is delicate - it is as? If the ingredients which were less concentrated, then how they will bleach?Perhaps, the lack of rough abrasive parts means. It is good, but there is nothing unique in it. Today any paste does not scratch enamel, rough granules are not put.
To measure effect of bleaching very difficult. And I, frankly speaking, do not believe that pastes can make something cardinal with teeth. It is done by the laser or peroxide.
Paste in general was pleasant to me because it is difficult not to trust such checked brand and the recommendations of "the best stomatologists". But availability of fluorine forced me more about it to esteem. And opening not really pleasant as you understood. Here also I think now, and I need it, this fluorine? Quite unpleasant at it a pobochka.
I did not find answers on the brand website. But found other interesting innovation – now at Blend-a-med there is the channel in YouTube, on a cat there are a lot of short and clear videos about health of teeth, any diseases and novelties. It is very good and modern, video on 1-2 minute. It is told about difficult things by available and cheerful language. You can look at a leisure (youtube.com/user/blendamedrf).
