Product Knowledge

Why does Enzim toothpaste not use detergent?

Because detergent damages the quality of saliva and causes dry mouth. It can also impair the sense of taste, making food taste bitter or bland immediately after brushing with toothpaste that contains detergent.

What are the benefits of using Enzim?

Enzim products are safe for daily use over the long term because they contain Amyloglucosidase (AMG), Gluco-oxidase (GO), and Lactoperoxidase (LPO), which help restore the natural function of the lactoperoxidase system (anti-bacterial) in saliva, controlling bacterial growth in the mouth.

Many people who suffer from canker sores recover after using Enzim toothpaste. Is Enzim a treatment for canker sores?

Enzim is not a medication for canker sores. It is a toothpaste suitable for daily care. Its main function is to maintain the balance of oral flora. Regular use of Enzim toothpaste helps maintain this balance, including controlling the bacteria that cause canker sores (Streptococcus sanguis). As a result, canker sores heal faster, and their recurrence can be prevented.

What is the role of the enzymes in Enzim toothpaste?

The enzymes in Enzim toothpaste improve the quality of saliva, enabling it to actively control bacterial growth in the mouth (bacteriostatic function). When oral bacteria are controlled, many dental and oral health problems can be prevented.

Can Enzim toothpaste help with bad breath?

Yes. The mechanism of Enzim toothpaste works by controlling bacteria in the mouth. When bacterial growth is controlled, bad breath is inhibited.

What is meant by dry brushing?

Without wetting the toothbrush or rinsing first, brush your teeth with Enzim toothpaste for 2 minutes, then rinse. This dry brushing method is intended to stimulate saliva production through the mechanical action of brushing, mixing it with the enzymes in the toothpaste. Additionally, since Enzim toothpaste contains no detergent, brushing without water is possible.

What enzymes are contained in Enzim toothpaste?

The enzymes in Enzim toothpaste are Amyloglucosidase, Gluco-oxidase, and Lactoperoxidase. In addition, it contains supplementary proteins such as lysozyme, lactoferrin, and others.

Where does the colostrum used in Enzim toothpaste come from?

The colostrum used comes from bovine colostrum (cow's colostrum).

What is the function of colostrum in Enzim toothpaste?

Colostrum in Enzim toothpaste has several functions, including moisturising dry mouths, inhibiting bacterial growth and adhesion, neutralising toxins produced by bacteria, enhancing natural defences in the mouth, and reducing the colonisation of Streptococcus mutans bacteria.

Dental and Oral Health

Why is it important to maintain oral health?

Just like other organs, it is essential to keep the mouth healthy because it serves as the gateway for diseases to enter the body.

What happens if you neglect oral health?

Since we eat daily, food debris remains in the mouth. These food remnants accumulate on the teeth as soft deposits, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. This soft deposit is called plaque. Neglecting oral health increases plaque buildup, which can lead to various problems such as cavities, gum inflammation, bad breath, and more.

What is the best way to maintain oral health?

A good way to maintain oral health is by consuming healthy, natural foods. Avoid chemical additives in food. However, since this is nearly impossible, brushing your teeth plays a significant role in maintaining oral health.

Why do experts often recommend regular tooth brushing?

Experts frequently advise brushing your teeth regularly, especially before bed. This recommendation helps prevent dental diseases. Brushing before bed is crucial because saliva production decreases during sleep, reducing its ability to control bacterial growth. When bacterial growth is uncontrolled, it produces acid that dissolves the outer tooth layer (enamel), which is the beginning of cavity formation. Using the right toothpaste helps compensate for the reduced saliva production and maintains bacterial control.

Why is choosing Enzim toothpaste important for oral health maintenance?

Toothpaste plays a vital role in maintaining oral health as it contacts not just the teeth but the entire mouth. Choosing the right toothpaste is essential for supporting the saliva’s natural bacterial control function. When bacteria are controlled, oral diseases are less likely to occur.

Why should you use Enzim toothpaste?

  1. Its cleaning agents are low abrasive, protecting the enamel.
  2. It doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS/foaming agent), which can dry out the mouth and damage taste buds. SLS also slows the healing of mouth sores, like canker sores or bleeding gums.
  3. The enzymes Amyloglucosidase, Gluco-oxidase, and Lactoperoxidase in Enzim toothpaste help restore saliva’s bacteriostatic function, which inhibits bacterial growth.
  4. Proteins like Lysozyme and Lactoferrin strengthen saliva's natural proteins, enhancing oral defence.
  5. Colostrum in Enzim toothpaste helps moisturise a dry mouth.

What makes Enzim toothpaste different from other brands?

Unlike other toothpastes, Enzim does not contain foam-forming agents (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/SLS, commonly known as detergent). Its enzymes restore the quality of saliva to control bacterial growth. Additionally, Enzim toothpaste is made with food-grade ingredients, making it safe if swallowed.

Why should older adults switch to Enzim 40+ toothpaste?

Research shows that saliva production decreases with age, increasing the risk of oral diseases such as cavities, gum inflammation, tooth loss, dry mouth (xerostomia), bad breath, and infections. Enzim 40+ is ideal as its Colostrum content boosts saliva's ability to control oral flora and moisturises the mouth. Vitamin E rejuvenates gums and soft tissues, Potassium Citrate helps relieve sensitive teeth, Zinc Gluconate fights bad breath, and Allantoin accelerates the healing of mouth sores.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Sensitive teeth occur when the dentinal tubules in the dentin become exposed, allowing stimuli like heat, cold, sweetness, or acidity to reach the tooth pulp, which contains nerve fibres. These stimuli are transmitted to the brain, causing a brief, sharp pain.

Which Enzim toothpaste variant is best for tooth sensitivity?

Enzim 40+ is the best choice for managing sensitive teeth because it contains Potassium Citrate, which blocks the transmission of stimuli from the tooth pulp to the brain, reducing the sensation of pain. Additionally, enzymes like Amyloglucosidase, Gluco-oxidase, and Lactoperoxidase restore the natural lactoperoxidase system in saliva, controlling bacterial growth. When bacteria are controlled, their acids don’t dissolve the enamel, and gum inflammation is reduced.

About Pregnancy

Why do pregnant women often experience oral health problems?

Hormonal changes during pregnancy typically result in alterations in the oral environment, which can increase oral health issues.

What are the benefits of using Enzim for pregnant women?

  1. Prevents gingivitis (gum inflammation)
  2. Prevents tooth decay (caries)
  3. Prevents bad breath (halitosis)
  4. Prevents oral pregnancy tumours

What causes increased oral health issues during pregnancy?

  1. Changes in progesterone and estrogen hormones increase blood flow throughout the body, particularly to the gums. This can cause blood vessels in the gums to break easily, leading to gum inflammation (pregnancy gingivitis). Hormonal changes also shift the nature of bacteria from aerobic to anaerobic, which can worsen bad breath during pregnancy.
  2. Morning sickness (nausea) increases mouth acidity, raising the likelihood of tooth decay.

How can oral health be maintained during pregnancy?

  1. Visit the dentist regularly; don't wait for problems to arise.
  2. Rinse your mouth with water after experiencing nausea or vomiting.
  3. Increase fibre intake by consuming more fruits.
  4. Use Enzim toothpaste during pregnancy. It doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS/detergent), preventing dryness in the mouth. The colostrum content helps maintain moisture, and its enzymes and proteins strengthen saliva's protective functions to control bacteria.

About Fasting

Why does bad breath often occur during fasting?

Bad breath that arises during fasting is caused by a decrease in saliva production. The reduction in saliva is closely related to the lack of chewing activity that occurs while fasting. This lack of saliva leads to a decreased oxygen supply in the mouth. As a result, anaerobic bacteria multiply uncontrollably, breaking down proteins in saliva and producing Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs), which include Hydrogen Sulfide, Methyl Mercaptan, and Dimethyl Sulfide, leading to bad breath.

Why does the mouth often feel dry during fasting?

Dry mouth during fasting occurs due to decreased saliva production. Salivary gland production is significantly influenced by stimuli such as chewing, the aroma of food and speaking. The greater the stimulus received, the larger the volume of saliva produced. During fasting, activities related to the oral cavity significantly decrease, resulting in reduced saliva production and, consequently, dry mouth. A dry mouth triggers the onset of bad breath.

Can using Enzim toothpaste while fasting eliminate bad breath?

Yes! Regular use of Enzim toothpaste during fasting can help eliminate bad breath. Enzim toothpaste does not contain detergents (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/SLS), which can make the mouth drier. Additionally, the enzymes in the toothpaste enhance saliva quality by controlling bacterial growth, including anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath.
