MOTHERHOOD is a wonderful and joyful experience for most women. During pregnancy, they are careful with the food they eat and the products they use to ensure the healthy growth and developmen­t of the foetus.

Pregnant women most commonly experience gum irritation such as swollen and bleeding gums at the beginning of the first trimester. They might also experience morning sickness, nausea and vomiting, which changes the acidity in the mouth.

Therefore, it is important that the toothpaste they use is not only mild and gentle to prevent dehydratio­n and irritation to the gum tissue but also helps maintain oral health and fresh breath.

Pureen Maternity Toothpaste is specially formulated for pregnant and lactating women.

This product is approved by the Malaysian Private Dental Practition­ers Associatio­n and is certified halal. It is also suitable for the whole family.

Pureen Maternity Toothpaste does not contain fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate and saccharin. It contains xylitol, sodium lauroyl sarcosinat­e, calcium and phosphate.

Xylitol is a natural sweetener found in the fibres of plants. Xylitol does not break down like sugar and helps maintain a neutral pH level in the mouth. It also prevents bacteria from sticking to the teeth, thus preventing tooth decay.

Sodium lauroyl sarcosinat­e, a mild surfactant, is capable of inhibiting the growth of the enzyme that breaks down sugars to acids.

Calcium and phosphate ions are essential for the reminerali­sation of tooth enamel to help maintain strong teeth and protect against tooth decay.
