General Brand & Product

• Puredent is a non-fluoride, science-driven oral care brand formulated for safe, effective daily oral protection for both adults and children. • It uses Hydroxyapatite (HAP) – the same material used in strengthening and rebuilding the natural tooth enamel/teeth. • Powered by natural actives: Clove Oil, Xylitol, Peppermint Oil, Spearmint Oil.

• Many consumers are becoming concerned about fluoride ingestion, and want healthier oral care alternatives. • Puredent offers effective cavity protection without any risk of fluorosis and chemical ingestion. • Hydroxyapatite delivers similar or improved protection vs fluoride but is biocompatible and safe even when swallowed.

• Made under strict international quality & hygiene standards (GMP-certified environment). • Formulated using clinically backed oral care science.

Ingredient & Science
