Brushing with fluoride toothpaste is a simple yet critical form of cavity prevention. Additionally untreated tooth decay can cause serious issues and infections. Thus the importance of preventing tooth decay as well as detecting and treating any early signs of decay from progressing to cavities is of paramount importance. Research has shown no matter the age, children and adults who brush using toothpaste that contain fluoride help reduce tartar formation, improve gum health and prevent dental caries.

The importance of using fluoridated toothpaste to prevent the disease is also highlighted in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) policies which support the widespread use of fluoridated toothpaste. Clogard offers superior cavity protection for the whole family. Brushing twice a day using Clogard which contains Fluoride and Clove oil fights against cavity causing germs preventing dental caries and help maintain good oral hygiene. Annually Clogard initiates several public awareness and school programmes to inculcate good oral hygiene among school children. Clogard strives to impact the lives of all Sri Lankans becoming an essential part of daily oral hygiene and therapeutic oral care. Clogard is keen to ensure the country’s beautiful smiles are protected.
