Study summary 

Polished enamel specimens were acid challenged to create lesions, then evaluated for baseline surface microhardness. Specimens were then exposed to an in vitro pH-cycling model consisting of periods of acid challenge (favoring demineralization; 4 hours daily), fluoride exposure (via toothpaste slurry exposure; 1 minute, 4 times daily), and artificial saliva (favoring remineralization; 20 hours each day) for 20 days. Surface microhardness measurements were repeated at day 10 and day 20 for comparison to baseline, and reported as percent change in surface microhardness after 10 or 20 days of pH cycling.

Dosage Warning 

Prolonged daily ingestion may result in dental fluorosis in children under 6 years, especially if water fluoridation exceeds 0.6 ppm, since younger children frequently cannot perform the brushing process without significant swallowing. Use in children under 6 years requires special supervision to prevent repeated swallowing of toothpaste which could cause dental fluorosis. Use in children under 12 years should be supervised.

Keep out of reach of children. 

If swallowed, call a poison control centre or get medical help right away.

See back label for additional safety information.
