Oral care maker Sangi has renewed its representative product, "Apaguard," to commemorate the 40th anniversary of its founding. It will be on sale from the end of September.

The author of the generation who misses the CM of "Entertainers have teeth". Apaguard had a slightly higher image than general toothpaste, but I decided to inspire myself to meet for Christmas.

The renewed APAGUARD product lineup consists of three types: "standard type", "stain care type", and "premium type". Since I have a history of smoking, I chose the stain care type "Apagard Smokin" that contains stain and tar removal ingredients (polyethylene glycol and polyvinylpyrrolidone). The price is 1,280 yen (excluding tax) for 100g (3.53oz).

The mild mint flavored Apagard Smokin, which has no sweetness or spiciness, leaves no strange taste even after polishing and is refreshing. I've been feeling a little change since about a week after I started using it, so I took a picture two weeks later and compared it. There is no difference in color in the image, but when you see it with the naked eye, the surface becomes more transparent and the teeth look like a veil of light. I feel that the surface is smooth and smooth.

The right is after 2 weeks of use. Maybe the surface is shiny !?

By the way, according to Sangi, the whiteness of teeth is closely related to the health of the "enamel" on the surface. Teeth shine white because the color of the dentin inside can be seen through the enamel on the surface, and healthy enamel is said to be translucent. Indeed, if you are aiming for natural tooth whiteness, you can't just clean the surface ...
The ingredient "Medicated Hydroxyapatite [mHAP]" contained in APAGUARD has the function of adsorbing and removing plaque, filling invisible scratches, smoothing teeth and remineralizing initial caries. Or something. Furthermore, in this renewal, it seems that the pearl component (hydrolyzed conchiolin liquid), which is a natural substance extracted from pearls and pearl oysters, has been newly added to all products. I would like to continue using it as it is and expect it to improve the brightness of teeth.

I'm also interested in the other two types!
