Our teeth are under constant attack from bacteria that cause caries, ‘eating’ their way through the tooth enamel. Naturally-occurring enzymes attempt to dissolve the harmful microorganisms, but this is normally not enough. Toothpaste with enzymes, however, strengthens the defence against bacteria in our mouths.
The food that we eat is not only food for ourselves. Leftover food between our teeth is also food for bacteria. Without enzymes to control the bacterial activity, we would all be wearing dentures. Adding enzymes to toothpaste reinforces our natural defence against bacteria, making it possible to maintain a white smile and fresh breath.
