Stannous fluoride in toothpaste – how it works
Plaque grows during the day and while we sleep—but with the right dentifrice, you can stop issues before they start.
Oral-B toothpastes formulated with Stannous Fluoride reinforce your oral health by continuing to protect even in-between brushing.
Oral B with Clinically Proven Stannous Fluoride keeps protecting even in-between brushing
Not all Fluorides are created equal
While all fluoride compounds provide anti-caries benefits, Stannous Fluoride, when effectively stabilised, has demonstrated broader and significantly greater protection than other fluorides against plaque, gum problems, halitosis, and enamel erosion.
Oral B Toothpaste with Stannous Fluoride FAQs
There is a misconception that ‘all fluorides are the same’. This is not true. Stannous Fluoride stands apart, offering benefits not found with sodium fluoride or sodium monofluorophosphate. Whilst all three compounds help protect against cavities, Stannous Fluoride better helps protect against bacterial plaque buildup, gum problems, bad breath, tooth sensitivity and acid erosion.
Oral-B understands that everyone has unique dental concerns, and that’s why they offer a wide range of toothpastes specially designed for every need. From gum care and enamel erosion to sensitivity, Oral-B has a toothpaste for everyone. The best Oral-B toothpaste with Stannous Fluoride for you will depend on your specific concern.
Stannous Fluoride has some inherent challenges to formulate, requiring skill and expertise to ensure it is delivered in an available and aesthetically pleasing dentifrice. These challenges can be overcome by including extrinsic whitening agents and ingredients to stabilize the Stannous Fluoride – for example: addition of chelants such as SHMP (sodium hexametaphosphate) – but it is not a simple process. So, when it comes to stannous fluoride, formulation matters!
