Our tooth enamel is at risk from early mineral loss (demineralization) through acid exposure from bacteria found in our dental plaque that can break down dietary sugars and starches to produce acids. During an acid attack, essential enamel minerals (calcium and phosphate) are dissolved. In normal conditions, above the critical pH level, your saliva is supersaturated with calcium and phosphate, which are continually deposited on the enamel surface of your teeth or re-deposited in enamel areas where they have been lost (a process known as remineralization). This phenomenon is helped by saliva’s ability to preserve the mineral structure of enamel.

Fluoride, which is an important anti-cavity ingredient in Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection, gets incorporated into the enamel surface as a mineral called fluorapatite, which helps prevent enamel demineralization (from acid attack). Fluorapatite also enhances the natural remineralization process by attracting natural calcium and phosphate minerals from your saliva back into your tooth’s weakened enamel. These vital minerals penetrate into the enamel surface, actively strengthening and rehardening weakened enamel. Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection with Amino Power also contains arginine, which is broken down by healthy bacteria and helps maintain pH levels above critical, thereby promoting the remineralization process.
