Organic matter in the teeth is difficult to remove with traditional abrasives and detergents, materials must be acceptable for oral care in terms of taste and colour, materials must be compatible with other toothpaste materials.
Oral hygiene market evolution
Growth in the oral health market has widely centred around two main categories: toothpastes and mouthwashes. Accelerated by increased consumer interest in health and wellbeing, and a greater understanding of the contributing factors of dental disease. Oral hygiene is an integral part of consumers' desire to lead a healthier lifestyle. Trends such as claiming several effects including anti-caries, anti-gum disease, anti-tartar, breath freshening, tooth whitening and reduction of hypersensitivity are widely driving consumer choice. Natural and vegan oral health options are also consumer choice driving factors.
