'Whiter teeth' is probably the most common request made by patients. The polymer included within Oral-B Pro-Expert toothpaste, sodium hexametaphosphate, is proven to help give that all important winning smile by reducing extrinsic staining. It works by combining both stain prevention and stain removal mechanisms.

Due to its strong affinity for the calcium hydroxyapatite contained in tooth enamel, sodium hexametaphosphate significantly influences the binding properties of the chromogens responsible for stains. By disrupting the pellicle it is able to remove extrinsic staining and its ability to be retained on tooth surfaces prevents new extrinsic stains forming, providing up to 96% reduction in staining within two weeks vs. baseline.1

Whilst aesthetic considerations are obviously significant, the health and functionality of the teeth is naturally of great importance. Users of Pro-Expert will also benefit from the oral health advantages imparted by the synergistic partnership of sodium hexametaphospate and stabilised stannous fluoride. By inhibiting plaque growth and adhesion, as well as promoting remineralisation, the advanced fluoride agent ensures that teeth not only look good but are also healthy and functional too. Stabilised stannous fluoride and sodium hexametaphospate are a match made in heaven.
