Performance tested fluoride free toothpaste
Developed for those who wish to use a fluoride-free toothpaste but still require a high level of performance.
BioMin C
BioMin C is a high-performance fluoride free toothpaste that can help repair/remineralise early decay on the tooth’s surface. Using the tooth’s natural repair process, BioMin C mimics and enhances the natural way saliva replaces minerals lost to acidic and sugary foods.
Fluoride Free
BioMin C was designed for consumers wanting a high-performance fluoride free toothpaste, and for those regions where ground waters contain high rates of naturally occurring fluoride.
Fast Acting
“Remineralization depends on the enamel surface’s being exposed to low concentrations of calcium, phosphate”1 Professor Garcia-Godoy
Within minutes of washing, BioMin C increases the concentrations of calcium and phosphate in saliva to help drive the remineralisation process
Everyday toothpaste.
BioMin C is designed to be used as an everyday toothpaste morning and night.
How does BioMin C work?
Tooth’s enamel is made up of approx 96% calcium and phosphate, BioMin C makes these minerals available for the natural remineralisation process to occur. With brushing a thin coating of BioMin C is placed on to the tooth’s surface, saliva dissolves this coating and slowly releases the calcium & phosphate
BioMin C helps reduce / relive tooth sensitivity?
Common tooth sensitivity is caused by tiny holes (tubules) being exposed by gum disease, aging or whitening treatments. Most sensitivity toothpaste either cover over these tubules or numb the nerve. BioMin C has been designed to enter the tubule and help seal from within (with continued brushing). Testing at Queen Mary University showed BioMin C occluded (sealed) a higher % of tubules than leading brands of toothpaste (including many fluoride brands). (Data on File Queen Mary University)
What is the difference between BioMin F & BioMin C?
BioMin F and BioMin C active ingredients are from the same family of bioactive materials. Both are designed to put back the lost apatite (tooth mineral) that is dissolved from tooth surfaces on a daily basis.
BioMin F
BioMin F contains fluoride, Calcium and Phosphate. As the glass starts to dissolve in saliva these three ions combine to precipitate fluorapatite on the tooth’s surface. Fluorapatite is 10 times more resistant to acid attack than hydroxyapatite (tooth’s natural material).
BioMin C
Within BioMin C does not contain the fluoride ion. BioMin C reacts fast and develops hydroxyapatite (tooth material) within minutes, however, it does not provide the enhanced acid resistance of BioMin F (BioMin F’s slow release fluoride creates this).
Ingredients
BioMin™ C toothpaste contains the following ingredients:
Glycerin, Silica, PEG, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, ChloroCalciumPhosphoSilicate, Titanium Dioxide, Flavouring, Carbopol, Potassium Acesulfame.
Do not use if you allergic to any of the ingredients.
