Cleanicdent

KerrHawe is pleased to announce the launch of the toothpaste Cleanicdent. It is a new concept in toothpastes that KerrHawe claims that not only polishes the teeth to a high lustre but cleans teeth extremely effectively, removing surface stains without causing damage either to the tooth structure or to the soft tissue.

Cleanicdent contains a naturally occurring organic compound called Perlite. The perlite low abrasive particles gradually reduce in size under the pressure of the toothbrush, using an integrated variable abrasion mode. This allows the first stage of cleaning and surface stain removal to be followed by a high gloss polishing action.
