Bannet-Z 100g Toothpaste

Sodium Monofluorophosphate in the toothpaste releases fluoride ions, which primarily inhibit the demineralization of tooth enamel and promote remineralization by forming fluorapatite, a more acid-resistant compound, enhancing the strength and resistance of the teeth to acid attacks. Triclosan, a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, reduces the formation of bacterial plaque by inhibiting the growth of oral bacteria, particularly those responsible for plaque and gingivitis. Zinc Citrate acts as an astringent and anti-plaque agent, controlling the development of plaque and tartar by inhibiting the adherence and accumulation of bacteria on the tooth surface, thus reducing the risk of gum inflammation and tooth decay.
