Brushing with fluoride toothpaste doesn’t just benefit the teeth; it also helps prevent bleeding gums. Healthy gums are the foundation for healthy teeth. However, bacteria below the gum line can lead to gingivitis, gum disease, and bone loss. Thankfully, GSK has perfected a toothpaste formulation to combat gingivitis-causing bacteria.
Parodontax was developed initially by Dr. Focke, a German dentist, in 1937. GSK obtained the brand in 2001 before bringing it to market in 2017. Parodontax contains 0.45% stannous fluoride that kills bacteria and reduces carbohydrate metabolism. Also, it has 5% sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) to prevent and remove teeth stains. As a result, Parodontax is an everyday toothpaste that helps maintain optimal gum health between dental cleanings.

Toothpaste’s active and inactive ingredients have evolved significantly since its inception with the Egyptians around 4 AD. Then, the Egyptians commonly used crushed rock salt, mint, and flowers to remove dental plaque and maintain healthy teeth. Today, you will find difficult-to-pronounce ingredients, such as tetrasodium pyrophosphate. Each element serves an essential purpose and is necessary for optimal performance. Also, you will find a toothpaste that targets specific needs, including gum care, whitening, sensitive teeth, and deep cleaning. Is Parodontax toothpaste good?

Dentist Review
Parodontax Complete Protection has similar active and inactive ingredients as the other two kinds of toothpaste; however, it was noticeably more flavorful with foaming action. In addition, fresh breath lasted longer than the others. Word of caution, stannous fluoride may produce surface stains on teeth. Also, the foaming action allowed this Parodontax extra fresh toothpaste to interact with greater surface area in the mouth—great overall toothpaste with quality benefits.

Dentist Review
Parodontax Active Gum Repair is exceptionally smooth with minimal grit. The fresh mint flavor is refreshing; however, the fresh breath quickly subsides.

Dentist Review
Parodontax Whitening had similar qualities to Parodontax Active Gum Repair because of similar active and inactive ingredients. It was enjoyable and comfortable to use. Minimal grit and smooth texture left teeth feeling clean and refreshed. The whitening benefits are unique; however, it leaves our teeth slightly more sensitive than others.
