Can a toothpaste rebuild tooth enamel - in just three days?

Can a toothpaste rebuild tooth enamel?  A $20 toothpaste says it can rebuild a whopping 82% of tooth enamel.  In just three days!

Newly launched in Selfridges (yes, BR Natalie loves Selfridges), the Regenerate Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste by Unilever, contains calcium silicate and sodium phosphate to essentially re-build a new layer of white enamel on the teeth.

Tooth enamel is damaged on a daily basis by consumption of things like fizzy drinks, wine and even fruit and vegetables  And whilst many parts of the body like skin, hair and nails will regenerate, when tooth enamel is gone, it's gone.  Which is a same considering it protects our teeth from decay.  

So how does this rather expensive toothpaste work?  Think of it like plastering a wall.  The toothpaste contains the same minerals tooth enamel is made of, these fill the teeny tiny holes and damage in the tooth enamel, leaving teeth smooth and three times as strong.  Teeth will be less likely to develop cavities and will be restored to their original whiteness.

Now the toothpaste is not meant to be used alone.  For optimum results a Boosting Serum will need to be used once a month, in two custom fit mouth trays.  The serum will set you back another $60.

The company is presenting the toothpaste as a beauty product that will sit alongside expensive age-defying creams and potions.

Despite the rather large price tag, we can see this toothpaste flying off the shelves, especially in a society where bad teeth are something people are judged on.  

So over to you.  What do you think of the Regenerate Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste and it's claims?  Do your teeth knock your confidence and is this something you would pay a premium price to rectify?  More importantly, can a consumer product really do what dentists can't, and mend your teeth?

I want it!! I hate my teeth! They're so discoloured from coffee & everything plus my top front 4 have root canals so they're quite grey. I want gdt zoom whitening but it's soooo expensive. I'm going to investigate this toothpaste!

I would love to try this product. Anything that could help fix my teeth is a must for me.

This is a product that I need to try. My teeth have not had the best run and I regret not looking after them in my teen years (which only ended last year when I turned 20). My teeth are flat looking, especially my bottom teeth. Lately I have been a lot more aware of the condition of my teeth. I think if this toothpaste did as it claims, it is something I really need to try and look in to more. I am student and spending $20 on a toothpaste would cut into my budget way too much so I would need proper, proven results to convince me.

Wow I would love to give this a go - my teeth are really bad, the enamel is all disappearing fast at my age 47. I do drink V which probably doesnt help my cause! I am quite subconscious of my teeth - look awful.

Sounds to g

NEED to try this! sounds so interesting, would love to see if it works!

Wow, would love to try this, I have been despairing about the state of my teeth, nothing seems to whiten them, they just seem to get worse and I was wondering (had heard) that the tooth whitening toothpastes now available perhaps are responsible for the decline in enamel. I've been using them for years so most likely! So whether I get to trial this or not, I am saving this article to my favorites and will be getting some, somehow, and just reading some of the comments below, the Tooth Mousse sounds like a must as well.

I would love to try this as I was born with hardly any enamel on my teeth! Maybe this would correct my problem :)

18th June, 2014

Ohhh, this sounds interesting. Would love to try this, my teeth are not the best and a trip to the dentist every 6 months is too expensive but this could as a bit of in between maintenance?? My teeth definately need some whitening thats for sure, lol. :-)

Would love to try some for my coffee stained teeth. Hope it works.

$20 for the toothpaste and then the Boosting Serum is $60 a month, still cheaper than going to the dentist but puts a bit of a dent in the pocket. I watched the news the other night where they are using electrical impulses to increase the uptake of minerals in the teeth, this in turn can heal small cavities. Wish all this was around when I was a kid, now have a god given fear of dentists and avoid going until I can't stand the pain any more. I know I need to go back to the dentist but something like this would curb the anxiety if it worked and took the place of the dentist.

This sounds very interesting as my enamel has thinned with age so tends to get more sensitive now and again. A bit skeptical how it could be done when dentists don't have anything to really offer that is like this. Would be interested to give it a go and see if the results are noticed though.

Oh man - after going through a $2000 + bill for my teeth recently this sounds too good to be true! Big fizzy drinker so that doesn't help matters. Definitely keen to look in to this one!

18th June, 2014

This sounds like a fantastic product. If it is clinically proven to work, I would fork out the cash to give it a try.

18th June, 2014

Hmmm, got to admit I'm a bit sceptical. So many toothpastes claim this sort of thing
