Manufacturer information
Mexidol toothpaste is produced by Pharmsoft, which has been supplying its products to the oral care market for 20 years. The company's employees are constantly improving the product, making it safer and more effective for solving dental problems.
The main component included in the lines of the paste in question is Mexidol. It is developed by the company itself. The peculiarity of the component is that it is able to eliminate signs of inflammation of periodontal tissues in the shortest possible time.
Composition of the drug
Each component included in the drug is characterized by a distinctive therapeutic effect. Mexidol (active substance) is a powerful antioxidant that quickly stops inflammatory processes and prevents the risk of infection of the soft tissues of the mouth with pathogenic microorganisms. The main component is also characterized by wound healing and immunomodulatory effects.
Another important ingredient in the drug is xylitol, which protects teeth from carious destruction. The substance also normalizes the acid-base balance in the mouth and prevents the active reproduction of pathogenic flora. Mexidol is considered a safe drug due to the moderate concentration of active substances in its composition.
The main difference between the paste and other oral care products is the absence of fluoride and chlorhexidine, which in some cases have a negative effect on the condition of the soft tissues of the mouth and enamel.
Fluoride is especially dangerous for people living in regions with high concentrations of the chemical element. For them, pastes can cause the formation of tartar, yellowing of the enamel or irreversible changes in the structure of the teeth
Advantages
The popularity of the pastes produced by this manufacturer has been facilitated by a number of advantages that they possess. The main thing among them is that they all do not contain fluorine and chlorhexidine.
To avoid undesirable consequences, pastes must be used in the correct dosage. It has been proven that excess fluoride can provoke the development of such a dangerous disease as fluorosis, which is accompanied by changes in the structure of the enamel. Also, if this component enters the body excessively, disruptions in the functioning of individual body systems may occur.
With the constant intake of excess amounts of chlorhexidine into the body, dysbiosis may develop due to the fact that pastes from this manufacturer have high antibacterial activity. Also, a negative effect can manifest itself in a change in the color of the teeth.
Therapeutic effect of the drug
The main component of Mexidol paste is used as an antioxidant, membrane protector, and antihypoxant. In the treatment of various diseases, Mexidol-based drugs are administered intravenously and intramuscularly. For the treatment of ophthalmological disorders, eye drops based on the component are used.
The substance has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, helps normalize hematopoiesis and intracranial pressure. Mexidol is also used as a prophylaxis for atherosclerotic pathologies.
Dentists warn that the anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect of the active component of Mexidol paste on teeth and gums has not been scientifically confirmed. They believe that the therapeutic effect of the gel described on the manufacturer’s website is nothing more than an advertising ploy. The complex effect of the paste has not been confirmed by the international medical community.
Mexidol paste cannot be used as monotherapy for dental disorders. It can only be used as part of a comprehensive treatment for pathologies of the gums and teeth.

Consumer Reviews
Milena, 31. I have been using Mexidol Dent Complex paste for 7 years as prescribed by a doctor. It has therapeutic and prophylactic purposes and has a whole range of therapeutic properties: anti-inflammatory, regenerating, immunomodulatory. After using the drug, bacterial plaque does not appear on the teeth for a long time. In addition, I can always rest assured that my breath will be fresh. The only nuance that the manufacturer of the product did not take into account is the lack of advertising. It produces 5 effective lines of toothpastes, but few consumers know about them.
Svetlana, 19 years old. I have been using Mexidil Sensitive paste for a long time and have no intention of changing it to any other drug. In addition to the paste, I also started using the Mexidol series mouthwash. I cannot confirm the magical effect of the products described on the manufacturer’s website, but the pastes really differ from the advertised oral care products. First of all, this is due to the feeling of smooth enamel and clean teeth throughout the day.
Sergey, 36 years old. I decided to try Mexidol Professional paste. I can’t say that the enamel is significantly whitened, but bacterial plaque after hygiene procedures is removed for a long time and does not appear even in the evening. I believe that high-quality teeth whitening can only be done with the help of dentists and no dental care products can cope with this problem.

A series of hygiene products with an increased amount of the antioxidant Mexidol copes with the most complex problems. All products in the line have a rich composition, which includes chemical and natural components. Formulas actively fight the effects of free radicals and bacteria.
Each remedy has the following effect:

White
Mexidol tooth whitening toothpaste not only successfully lightens the enamel by several tones, but also actively fights carious processes.
The unique formula has a beneficial effect on the oral mucosa, increases saliva production, improves microflora and blocks pathogenic microbes. A product called “Professional White” carefully cleans plaque from each crown. The active substance papain gently penetrates the upper layers of dentin, where it dissolves the dark pigment. Saturation of the enamel with the composition prevents the subsequent formation of deposits and darkening. The pyrophosphate complex repels paint particles between cleanings. The integrity of the structure is not compromised; the enamel layer remains the same. Licorice extract included in the formula protects dentin from caries, relieves inflammation and bleeding.
Average price - 180 rubles.
Attention! The bleach should be used with caution if you have stomatitis or other sores in the mouth.
