Gums are the foundation for healthy teeth, but we don’t always recognise the vital role they play. Often people choose a toothpaste because it promises to keep their teeth strong, white and clean, but caring for your gums is just as important – particulary for the one in three people who spit blood when they brush.
If you have spotted a tell-tale trace of pink or red when you brush or floss, it could be a sign that you have bleeding gums, an early sign of gum disease.
If you ignore the first symptoms of gum disease or gingivitis and leave it untreated, over time, it can develop into a much more serious, irreversible condition called periodontitis, which may cause tooth loss. So, what can you do to help protect your teeth and keep gums healthy?
Corsodyl Complete Protection toothpaste has 8 specially designed benefits for healthier gums and stronger teeth. Brushing twice daily with Corsodyl Complete Protection toothpaste, means that you don’t have to choose between taking care of your teeth or your gums – you can do both at the same time.
THE 8 BENEFITS OF CORSODYL COMPLETE PROTECTION TOOTHPASTE EXPLAINED
1. HELPS TO STOP AND PREVENT BLEEDING GUMS
Bleeding gums are caused by plaque bacteria, which builds up in, on and around your teeth. Corsodyl Complete Protection Toothpaste is specially formulated for people who spit blood when they brush and, when used twice daily, it’s up to 50% better at reducing bleeding gums than a regular toothpaste.
2. REDUCES RED AND INFLAMED GUMS
Healthy gums are pink and firm, so if you have red, inflamed gums it can be an early sign of gum disease. When plaque bacteria isn’t removed by regular brushing it can irritate your gums leaving them puffy or swollen. Brushing twice daily with Corsodyl Corsodyl Complete Protection Toothpaste helps return your gums back to health.
3. 4X MORE EFFECTIVE AT REMOVING PLAQUE*
Plaque is the main cause of gum disease. To help keep gums healthy Corsodyl Complete Protection toothpaste has a unique formulation that uses high levels of extra fine sodium bicarbonate, to make it 4x more effective* at removing plaque than a regular toothpaste.
4. HELPS KEEP GUM SEAL TIGHT
A build up of plaque bacteria can cause bleeding gums and, if left untreated this can eventually lead to receding gums, where gums begin to pull away from the teeth loosening the gum seal. If you don’t act to prevent gum recession, it can get worse. Pockets can develop between your teeth and gums and become infected. This can damage to the structures that hold your teeth firmly in place and, eventually, may cause tooth loss.
Brushing twice daily with Corsodyl Complete Protection toothpaste helps to physically remove the main cause of bleeding gums by targeting the build up of plaque bacteria along the gum line, helping to keep the seal between your gums and teeth tight.
5. TARGETS BAD BREATH
Plaque bacteria isn’t only responsible for causing bleeding gums, it can also contribute to bad breath or halitosis. As it breaks down food particles it releases unpleasant smelling gases that can make your breath smell bad. Brushing twice a day with Corsodyl Complete Protection Toothpaste removes more plaque than a regular toothpaste, while its minty flavour helps to keep breath fresh.
6. STRENGTHENS ENAMEL
Tooth enamel is the thin, hard outer coating of your teeth. It helps them to look white and shiny and protects against tooth decay. Food and drinks can contain acid or may react with plaque bacteria to create acid, which then attacks your enamel leading to tooth decay. Corsodyl Complete Protection Toothpaste contains fluoride, which helps to keep enamel strong by making your teeth more resistant to attack by plaque and dietary acids as well as helping to repair any damage.
7. DEEP CLEANS
With its formulation containing ultra fine sodium bicarbonate, Corsodyl Complete Protection Toothpaste helps to remove 4x more plaque than a regular toothpaste*. Brushing twice daily with Corsodyl Complete Protection helps to keep teeth and gums really clean.
8. GENTLY WHITENS TEETH
By gently removing surface stains Corsodyl Complete Protection helps to restore teeth to their natural whiteness.
