Are there white spot lesions (decalcification) present?
Earlier laboratory and human studies have shown Enamelon Toothpaste to be beneficial in the reduction of white spot lesions, and the repair and remineralization of tooth enamel compromised by acidic beverages.
1% Sodium Fluoride Anti-Cavity Toothpaste, an advanced formula that contains an innovative tri-calcium phosphate ingredient and delivers more fluoride, helps strengthen enamel and helps reverse white spot lesions better than a conventional 5000 ppm prescription fluoride toothpaste and a 900 ppm fluoride topical creme containing calcium phoshate.
