Crest Densify does not "rebuild" teeth in the sense of regenerating significant lost tooth structure or filling existing cavities. Instead, it works to strengthen and protect existing tooth enamel by enhancing its density and hardness.
This toothpaste helps fortify your teeth by re-hardening the enamel, a process known as remineralization. Enamel is the hard, protective outer layer of your teeth. Over time, acids from food and bacteria can lead to demineralization, which weakens enamel and can lead to sensitivity and decay. Crest Densify helps reverse this microscopic damage, making your teeth stronger and more resilient.
How Crest Densify Works to Strengthen Enamel
Crest Densify is formulated to contribute to stronger, healthier teeth through its targeted action on enamel:
- Re-hardening Enamel: It promotes the re-hardening of enamel, essentially strengthening the tooth's surface. This process helps to restore lost mineral density, making the enamel more resistant to daily wear and tear.
- Preventing Density Loss: With consistent use (brushing twice a day), it creates a protective barrier that offers 24-hour density protection against future density loss. This helps prevent the weakening of enamel that can lead to decay.
Benefits of Stronger Enamel
By focusing on enamel strength and protection, Crest Densify contributes to overall oral health in several key ways:
- Increased Tooth Strength: Harder enamel means stronger teeth that are better equipped to withstand the forces of chewing and biting.
- Enhanced Protection Against Decay: By preventing demineralization and promoting remineralization, the toothpaste helps to protect teeth from the acids that cause cavities.
- Healthier Teeth: Strengthening the enamel contributes to the long-term health and integrity of your teeth.
While it doesn't grow new tooth material, it plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving the existing structure of your teeth, making them stronger and more resistant to damage. For comprehensive oral care, it's always recommended to combine effective brushing with a balanced diet and regular dental check-ups.
