Question 5

What are the active ingredients?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredient is Sodium Fluoride. Colgate Duraphat is typically available in 2800ppm or 5000ppm fluoride concentrations, which is approximately three to five times the strength of regular high-street toothpaste.

Question 6

What are user experiences with this toothpaste?

Accepted Answer

Patients often report that it fits easily into their daily routine as a direct replacement for standard toothpaste, and they appreciate the familiar mint flavour as an effective component of their dental hygiene strategy.

Question 7

How does Colgate Duraphat work?

Accepted Answer

Sodium Fluoride works by inhibiting the demineralisation of healthy tooth enamel and promoting remineralisation. The fluoride ions become incorporated into the enamel structure to form fluorapatite, which is more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria.

Question 8

How do I use Colgate Duraphat?

Accepted Answer

Use the paste to brush your teeth three times daily after meals using a 2cm ribbon of toothpaste. Spit out excess foam but do not rinse your mouth with water immediately after brushing, allowing the fluoride to work for longer.

Question 9

What is the standard dosage?

Accepted Answer

The standard dosage for adults and adolescents aged 16 years and over is to brush three times a day to maintain high levels of fluoride in the oral cavity.

Question 10

What are the side effects?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are generally rare but may include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or redness, and very rarely, a burning sensation in the mouth or oral irritation.

Question 11

Do I need a prescription to buy Colgate Duraphat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Colgate Duraphat is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). You cannot purchase it over the counter. Mail my Meds offers an online consultation service to provide a private prescription if appropriate.

Question 12

Can I use mouthwash with this toothpaste?

Accepted Answer

It is generally recommended to avoid using mouthwash or rinsing with water immediately after brushing with Colgate Duraphat, as this washes away the beneficial fluoride.

Question 13

Is Colgate Duraphat suitable for pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

There is no evidence to suggest that Colgate Duraphat is harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but you should always inform your prescriber if you are pregnant or breastfeeding during the consultation.
