| MicrofineNew technology of bristles realized in the meridol toothbrush. The bristles are conically shaped with a diameter of approx. 0.18 mm at the base of the brush and approx. 0.05 mm shortly (1 mm) below the tip of the bristle. Due to the microfine bristle ends the tips of the bristles bend back at the slightest pressure, thus producing a round contact surface with extremely low potential for causing gingival harm. This shape is new on the European market, where normal, end rounded bristles have a uniform diameter throughout their entire length. The conical shape of the bristles guarantees excellent plaque removal without damaging the gums. | |

| Milk teethPrimary dentition consisting of a total of 20 teeth that start erupting in the 6th to 7th month. The milk (or deciduous) teeth are replaced and supplemented by the permanent teeth between the ages of 6 and 12. Up until then, the milk teeth serve as placeholders for the permanent dentition and should therefore be kept as healthy as possible. elmex children's toothpaste with amine fluoride was specifically developed to protect the softer, immature milk teeth. | |

| MolarsGrinding teeth; large, permanent, multi-cusp, posterior teeth. The first molars (six-year molars) erupt into the mouth, behind the deciduous molars, at around 6 years of age. Together with the permanent incisors - they are the first permanent teeth to appear in the mouth. The second molars erupt in about the 12th year of life, while the wisdom teeth may not appear until adulthood. The eruption of the six-year molars (i.e. roughly when the child starts school) is the time to switch from elmex children's toothpaste to an adult toothpaste with a higher fluoride content. | |

| MouthrinseProprietary, active solution to supplement daily oral hygiene. The following types of mouthrinses are available: fluoride-containing rinses , such as elmex anticariogenic dental rinse, which are used primarily for caries prophylaxis; elmex SENSITIVE PLUS dental rinse was specifically developed for individuals suffering from exposed dental necks. meridol mouthrinse regenerates irritated gums by inactivating existing plaque and inhibiting the formation of new plaque. | |
