Marvis Concentrated Eau de Bouche Mouthwash (120ml)

Product Information

No. In fact, some toothpastes marketed at children don’t have enough fluoride in them to help stop tooth decay and children that get used to the more fruity tastes of children’s toothpaste often find it hard to move onto the decent, minty-tasting toothpastes that they will need later on. That said, up until six years old, children can use a low-strength toothpaste – as long as it contains at least 1,000ppm fluoride. From seven years old, children can use the same toothpaste as the rest of the family, provided it contains 1,350-1,500 parts per million (ppm) fluoride.

Historically, whitening toothpastes have catered mostly to smokers and those with a penchant for the vino rosso – but today’s are much more mainstream. Some can be rough on your teeth and gums, making them sensitive or wearing away at the enamel, but Colgate Max White Optic has an easy-going approach for daily use, with an “Advanced Brightener System” that releases a blue foam to give an instant whitening effect. It’s only temporary, so you need to keep using the toothpaste, and it can leave a slight blue residue which needs to be rinsed away. Still, it’s less gritty than some whitening toothpastes, and leaves you with clean-feeling, noticeably whiter teeth. What remains unchanged is the focus on “the pleasure of flavour that turns a daily ritual into a pleasure”. Notes Product manager Laura Cardelli of Marvis, “It is a scent for the mouth, and a stylish icon for the eyes.” Using the original formulas, the brand has now been positioned as a luxury product in its sector. Looking to brighten up your smile? The answer could be a new toothpaste. Tangible benefits can include whiter teeth, healthier gums, fresher breath or reduced sensitivity.READ NEXT: The best electric toothbrushes The best toothpaste to buy 1.

It is believed that Marvis was first intended for smokers due to its whitening effect and intense Mint flavour. Find hot beverages hard on the ivories? Does your first bite into pizza leave you whimpering like a motherless pup? Sensodyne has the stuff to sort that out, and its Pronamel Gentle Whitening toothpaste also protects against acid, removes stains and hardens the tooth enamel. Needless to say, it whitens too. The tried and tested formula reduces sensitivity, while the paste is designed to deliver fluoride deep into the tooth’s surface, supposedly rebuilding enamel strength. Users like the foamy, bubbly feel and the minty fresh taste, and it leaves teeth feeling clean and smooth. The whitening action is also nice and gentle, giving you a brighter smile without more aches and pains. We all want brighter, whiter teeth, and whitening toothpastes really can whiten even quite discoloured teeth over time – or in a single session using the more potent whitening pastes. The problem is that whitening toothpastes can also cause heightened sensitivity and enamel abrasion; if you do use one long term, it could be rough on your poor gnashers. Do toothpastes for sensitive teeth work?

If you want to make a boring everyday routine a little more fun or you want to make brushing your teeth more luxurious, Marvi's Italian toothpastes are for you. We discovered that the Marquis devoted his whole life to his two passions: poetry and toothpaste. Not much more is known about his poetry, except for his only retrieved manuscript, a poem probably dedicated to a lover. It reads: “Roses are red, violets are blue, don’t forget to floss and your smile will be true!” Dilute one part mouthwash in four parts water and rinse for 30 seconds. Do not swallow and avoid eating or drinking anything for half an hour after use – this will allow enough time for the ingredients to completely clean the mouth,
