Questions and answers about MAMA KAREX
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to sensitive teeth and gums. There is also an increased risk of tooth decay. As increased fluoride intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding can have a negative effect on the child (LINK to study), it makes sense to avoid fluoride in dental care during this time.
MAMA KAREX toothpaste is the ideal toothpaste for expectant or breastfeeding mothers. It works effectively against tooth decay and protects sensitive gums with BioHAP - without fluoride.
Fluorides are an ingredient in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, as they have been proven to protect against tooth decay. However, a large number of scientific studies indicate that fluoride can have a negative effect on the child if too much is ingested during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding (LINK to study). Therefore, the intake of fluoride should be minimized during this time.
The active ingredient BioHAP in MAMA KAREX is at least as effective as fluoride in preventing tooth decay. BioHAP* also has a positive effect on gum health and is harmless if swallowed. MAMA KAREX toothpaste is therefore the ideal alternative to fluoride-containing toothpastes during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.
