What is Theodent toothpaste?
Theodent is an American oral care company manufacturing a revolutionary line of fluoride-free dentifrices containing Rennou™ as an active ingredient. Theodent is great for everyone, and our clinical research indicates it’s particularly effective at remineralizing tooth enamel and reducing hypersensitivity.
Will Theodent help my sensitivity?
Theodent is the best toothpaste in the world for relieving hypersensitivity. Research has shown that it takes 70 times more fluoride to have a comparable remineralization effect to Rennou™. Importantly, Rennou™ is non-toxic and a far better solution for relieving painful sensitivity. Many patients will feel results in as little as 3-7 days.
What are the types/flavors of Theodent toothpaste?
There are three toothpastes in the Theodent family. Theodent Classic toothpaste (spearmint flavor) and Theodent Kids toothpaste (chocolate chip flavor) are available here and at dental offices, pharmacies, grocers, natural food stores, and lifestyle boutiques near you and in select international markets. Theodent 300 toothpaste (spearmint flavor) is our clinical-strength toothpaste, similar in formulation to Theodent Classic but with an increased concentration of Rennou, the theobromine-based active ingredient. Theodent 300 can also be found in dental offices, pharmacies, grocers, lifestyle boutiques, and in famed luxury retailers like Harrod’s in London. Theodent 300 is known as “the world’s finest toothpaste". All three products are designed to be used as a twice-daily toothpaste.
What are theobromine and Rennou?
Rennou is the safe-to-swallow active ingredient in all Theodent toothpaste products. Rennou is comprised of three components: theobromine, calcium, & phosphate. Theobromine is an amazing compound with many beneficial health properties and occurs naturally in the cacao plant. The ratio of theobromine, calcium, & phosphate in our formulation is proprietary and only efficacious in a specific combination. Clinical research indicates that Rennou is more effective than fluoride at remineralizing enamel and hardening teeth. Rennou, Theodent’s active ingredient, also has GRAS (generally regarded as safe) designation from the FDA, the highest standard in food safety. Theodent Toothpastes are currently the only toothpastes that contain Rennou.
Is chocolate bad for your teeth?
Commercial chocolate generally contains cocoa fat and added sugar which is cariogenic (cavity-causing). Theodent’s interest in chocolate focuses only on one component of cacao, theobromine, which must first be refined into a pharmaceuticalgrade pure crystalline powder before it can be evenly distributed into our toothpaste.
What’s wrong with fluoride? Why is Theodent better?
Please refer to our page dedicated to the technology. It can be found here.
How do I apply Theodent correctly?
Theodent is designed to be used like any other toothpaste. We recommend brushing twice daily for two minutes. Rinse and repeat! Rennou™ works on contact, so for those with extreme sensitivity, you may choose to let the product sit on the tooth’s surface for a longer period of time before rinsing.
Is Theodent safe if swallowed?
All Theodent products are fluoride-free and safe if swallowed. Our active ingredient, Rennou™, even has GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status from the FDA, the highest standard in food safety. In particular, chocolate chip-flavored Theodent Kids toothpaste is a fantastic product for adults worried about their children swallowing fluoride in their toothpaste.
What ingredients are in Theodent?
Please refer to the ingredients page found here, where we detail the ingredients and their functions in our formulation.
How long do I need to use Theodent to see an effect?
Theodent is formulated to remineralize on contact. Clinical data shows most patients see an effect from Theodent toothpaste in 3-7 days.
What is SLS, and does Theodent Toothpaste contain it?
SLS is short for sodium laurel sulfate. Though it was common in toothpaste for decades, some people do experience rare side effects from it, like skin irritation in and around the mouth. Theodent products are proud to be SLS-free! Theodent Classic & Theodent 300 do contain similarly named sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, a coconut oil-derived replacement to SLS that offers a pleasant foamy texture without the risk of skin irritation. Theodent Kids does not contain either foaming agent.
Is Theodent vegan?
There are no animal ingredients or animal-derived ingredients in any of Theodent’s products. Theodent products have never been and will never be tested on animals (other than humans)
Is Theodent Recyclable?
All components of Theodent’s packaging are recyclable.
Where is Theodent Made?
Theodent is manufactured in an FDA-inspected and approved facility in the United States. From start to finish, all Theodent components are sourced from North America.
