I received a sample 19ml tube of this toothpaste in the post last week. I got it free by requesting it from the Colgate web site. The offer has now ended.

Colgate state that the toothpaste is a "gentle formula specially formulated for sensitive teeth and enamel protection"

They also advise that it is not for use by children under seven years of age.

It says on the tube that it contains Sodium Fluoride and Bevat: Natriumfluoride.

I have done a little Google research on Bevat: Natriumfluoride. Bevat appears to mean contains and I have found some articles on the net stating that Natriumfluoride is sometimes used in the treatment of Osteoporosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients.

Both the Sodium and Natrium fluorides are stated as being 1450ppmF. I think but am not sure that pppmF means parts per million. Perhaps any dentists on Dooyoo could confirm this and also give a view on the inclusion of Natriumflouride in a toothpaste?


I have been using it for 4 days now and what have I noticed?

It doesn't produce as much lather in the mouth as other Colgate toothpastes like Colgate Total or Colgate Max Fresh. It is an opaque white paste, not a gel.

It has an averagely strong mint flavour, more like spearmint than peppermint.

Compared to the other Colgate Toothpastes I have mentioned it does not leave my teeth as smooth and shiny clean (to the touch of my tongue) as they do after brushing.

My teeth still feel clean but not as clean.

Clinically it is hard for me to compare this toothpaste with others. The Colgate web site says that it "Promotes remineralisation of the enamel"
and "Has a low abrasivity".


Promotes is a bit of a loose term. After all just rinsing your mouth in cold water or probably even with your own saliva I'm guessing would promote remineralisation of the enamel. I would like Colgate to be more specific than just using the word promotes.

Low abrasivity is more of a definitive statement, however I would like to see a comparative chart of abrasivity levels of all available toothpastes.

As for the "for sensitive teeth" part of the product, I haven't noticed any real difference in this respect.

I think that I will finish this sample tube but not buy it again because my teeth feel cleaner using other Colgate products.
