Product Summary
Colgate PerioGard is a versatile toothpaste suitable for everyday use, containing essential active ingredients to effectively address and prevent gum disease. It offers relief from sensitivity, promotes fresh breath, and helps prevent tooth decay.
The inclusion of stannous fluoride and sodium fluoride is crucial in inhibiting the growth of bacteria and plaque, thereby reducing the risk of gum disease. This toothpaste contains the recommended fluoride content of 1450ppm.
Zinc phosphate plays a key role in preventing the formation of plaque and calculus, which are significant contributors to gum disease. Its antimicrobial properties help reduce bacterial levels in the mouth, resulting in fresher breath.
Notably, this toothpaste is free from Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), a foaming agent commonly found in many toothpastes. This makes it less likely for individuals to experience sensitivity or allergic reactions, as it uses Cocamidopropyl Betaine as an alternative foaming agent.
