Gum Activital Q10 Toothpaste 75Ml

GUM Activital toothpaste includes coenzyme Q10 alongside fluoride, in a formula aimed at gum care rather than whitening. GUM builds its whole range around gums rather than teeth, which is a sensible emphasis given that most adult tooth loss comes from gum problems rather than decay.

Toothpaste is only part of it. Cleaning between the teeth daily, with floss or interdental brushes, reaches the surfaces a brush cannot and is where gum problems usually start.

Benefits

• Fluoride is the ingredient that matters most in any toothpaste, and it is worth checking it is there
• GUM focuses on gums rather than whitening, which is a different and arguably more important priority
• Brushing along the gum line rather than only across the teeth is where a gum-focused paste earns its place
• Spit rather than rinse after brushing, so the fluoride stays on the teeth instead of washing away
• Bleeding gums are not normal and are worth mentioning to a dentist rather than brushing around

How to Use

• Apply a pea-sized amount to a soft toothbrush
• Brush for two minutes, twice daily, angling the bristles towards the gum line
• Spit out and avoid rinsing with water afterwards
• Clean between the teeth daily with floss or interdental brushes
• Supervise children when brushing and use a toothpaste suited to their age
• See a dentist about bleeding, receding or painful gums
