It's important to help your kids establish a good oral hygiene routine that they can carry into adulthood. It has been years since I've had to actively remind my teenager to brush her teeth, but it's always good to boost the habit with the best products and practices. And of course, I strive to maintain a good routine myself! Children - even teenagers - learn by example. Colgate® Enamel Health™ toothpaste and Colgate 360°® Enamel Health™ Manual toothbrush are products designed to help protect enamel, which is vital to a healthy smile. Now that Angeline has completed her orthodontic work and straightened up her teeth, we have to make sure that they aren't just pretty, but healthy too!
The term enamel is tossed around a lot lately, but do you really know what enamel is? It's a strong barrier that provides the first layer of defense for your teeth. Think of it as your teeth's coat of armor! Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, but it can chip and crack with daily chewing, biting, crunching, and grinding. I once chipped the enamel on one of my front teeth by biting a lemon drop. No joke! Tiny bacteria also creates acids that can cause enamel to erode, yuck!
The scary thing about enamel is that once it's gone, it's gone! The body doesn't replace enamel and that's why products like the Colgate® Enamel Health™ line are so important. The Colgate® Enamel Health™ toothpaste is a new multi-benefit toothpaste that has an active fluoride system to help replenish natural calcium and other minerals back into weekend enamel, filling in rough spots. Using a safe silica that polishes the enamel surface, it helps prevent germs from sticking as well as making the enamel stronger and more resistant to acid.
Colgate has created packaging that includes a touch-and-feel patch showing the difference between smooth healthy enamel and damaged, rough enamel.
The Colgate 360°® Enamel Health™ Manual toothbrush is designed with a raised cleaning tip to get to hard to reach places and has soft bristles - 48 percent softer - to allow for gentle cleaning. The toothbrush also produces significantly less wear on your teeth and gums.
The Colgate Enamel Health range includes:
Enamel Health Whitening Toothpaste in 4.0oz ($4.49) and 5.5oz ($5.49).
Enamel Health Sensitivity Relief Toothpaste in 4.0oz ($4.49) and 5.5oz ($5.49).
Colgate 360° Enamel Health Manual Toothbrush in single ($5.49) and two pack ($9.99) options.

I have sensitive teeth, so my dentist says I need stuff that helps the enamel health of my teeth to help them not be so sensitive. This line is perfect for me!

That's pretty neat that they have the special packaging so you can feel the difference between healthy and unhealthy enamel. I'd love the whitening one. I have big teeth, so I'm self-conscious about them.
