REGENERATE ENAMEL SCIENCE
THE CLAIM: Most people have some erosion of tooth enamel – over time, acid in the mouth breaks it down. After many years the teeth become thin and the inner-most layer, which is yellow-coloured, begins to show.
This sleek tube claims to turn back time by ‘reversing enamel erosion’ and ‘regenerating’ the minerals that keep the outer layer of teeth healthy and strong.
VERDICT: Regenerate may be worth forking out for if you have early signs of enamel erosion. The minerals in it, calcium silicate and sodium phosphate, combine to form hard crystals which stick to the teeth and make them hardier.
‘It is not identical to enamel but it is very similar,’ says Dr Carter.
‘It is a bit like putting nail varnish on your tooth but eventually it becomes integrated into it. It is very clever technology.’
TASTE TEST: It feels thick and claggy but tastes sweet and minty.
