Oral-B ProHealth Advance Enamel Strong Toothpaste 110g $1.50 (Was $2.75) @ Reject Shop

190

A great deal on one of the best non-prescribed toothpastes on the market.
Oral-B is recommended by dentists, due to addition of Stannous Fluoride along with the standard Sodium Fluoride.
This product is recommended for use with a soft-headed toothbrush (states on box) to prevent enamel degradation (If you are using anything other than a soft-headed toothbrush, I recommend talking to your dentist on your next visit).

This is great for people that risk weaking/wearing down their enamel with things like acid foods, drinks, bad cleaning routing etc or people that just wish to remineralise their teeth to intern reduce the risk of dental bills / treatment. More reading for general interest.

    If you don't really care about which brand you use, ALDI's brand is always $1.49, 140g, and Made in Australia

      This isn't about the brand so much, but the product. Very few products have two forms of Fluoride (most just have Sodium Fluoride). Oral-B adds Stannous Fluoride to their toothpastes, which is why they are recommended (and they are designed by dentists). I'm not a dentist (my username may suggest this), but I live on campus for 5 years in a dorm full of dental students and I never met one that wasn't using an Oral-B product after their first semester.

      Aldi's toothpaste will do the job for many, but if you do anything "high risk" i.e. drink coke without a straw and don't rinse your mouth out upon finishing, then it may be worth the investment to get a dual fluoride paste. I'm sure you know how pricey dentist are and since the government plans to work the snowflake generation until there are between 75-80, might be worth thinking about how long your teeth will need to last.

      Last note is you cannot regrow enamel (yet). If you wear it down its acid corrosion from your food or drink or grind, once it's gone, it isn't coming back. Once that Dentine (under the clear enamel layer) is exposed, the teeth with quickly yellow (cannot be whitened), and carries (holes) will form quite easy. You then start moving onto things like Colgate NeutraFluor 5000, which I regularly prescribe (it's a Schedule 3 Pharmacy Only "Medicine"). You're now talking anywhere from $10-20 for a 56g tube.

    Why would they add caramel to toothpaste? Won't it cause more decay

    Cheaper to just not eat bad foods and brush your teeth regularly ;-) This one uses abrasive ingredients to whiten teeth FYI. So don't use this if you want to strengthen your teeth.

      The entire point of this toothpaste is to remineralise the enamel to prevent enamel degradation. I cannot see anything about this having abrasive features. Just rubbing it in my fingers it's about as "gritty" as NeutraFluor. The ingredients contained (I worked with almost all of them), wouldn't be able to degrade enamel, unless you used a wire brush. Key point of this toothpaste is use a Soft toothbrush (As you should be using anyways, research link above). If you have a link about this being abrasive / damaging to the enamel, please share (I'm being genuine).

      It's also cheaper not to eat. Also, the link to carries (cavities) from white rice, noodles and pasta is now well known. I don't think many ozbargains would be willing to chuck these staples away.

      Total agree with brush your teeth. I always suggest people go and watch a youtube video on how to do it. I'd say 75% of my patients (during product counselling for the likes of NeutraFluor) are completely clueless.

        I'm not a professional btw. I used whitening toothpastes for over 5 years, including this one, and started having many issues. Saw a few dentists over my time, and they all pointed to the fact that these off the shelf products that say whitening without using peroxide are using abrasives instead.

        I believe silica was one of the main culprits. Either way, I just use Colgate Total original now, and my teeth have never been stronger, and I have no issues with sensitivity. Gave up on whitening my teeth, just don't care anymore.

        Wouldn't a product like Biomin be better suited? It's more expensive, but it's designed for that.

        This is cheap tho, is it nation wide? Definitely worth stocking up

        I was buying Colgate down from $10 -$5 I found they worked the best for sensitive teeth

  • Back in my day we used salt for toothpaste

  • Try using Baking Soda. I use it it the morning. You can feel with your tongue how clean your teeth are. And then I gargle with water before spitting out. In the U.S. they sell toothpaste with baking Soda.
