Healthy teeth
Regular care is key when it comes to maintaining a healthy appearance and keeping your teeth healthy in the long term. Bacterial deposits (plaque) are one of the main causes of numerous dental disorders such as tooth decay, gingivitis and parodontitis. The more thoroughly these deposits are removed, the better protected you will be from these kinds of dental problems.
Quality made in Germany
All LACALUT® products are produced in Homburg (Saarland) and therefore bear the “made in Germany” quality seal. From Homburg the product line is exported across the globe. With continued success.
LACALUT® – The evolution of an effective toothpaste
In the early 1920s, the company Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) experimented with the salt of lactic acid (lactate); at the same time, trials took place in several dental clinics to use strongly astringent aluminium salts to treat the unfortunately already far too common cases of gingivitis and other periodontal diseases. In most cases, these experiments had highly unsatisfactory outcomes since the gums would become severely inflamed. Finally, Boehringer Ingelheim was contacted and tasked to conduct model experiments into the effectiveness of aluminium lactate.
The result was the tooth and gum powder “LACALUT” which was brought to market in 1925.
It was proven that the LACALUT® tooth and gum powder, produced using a special process, thoroughly cleans the teeth and significantly tightens the gums.
This astringent property had a positive effect on bleeding gums. LACALUT® tooth powder was thus not only excellent for cleaning the teeth but also as a prophylactic for preventing gum disease.
We continuously strive to improve our LACALUT® products and, in doing so, use the latest finding in dental medicine.
Good health begins with a healthy mouth.
When we talk about looking after our health, we are usually only thinking of our inner organs, but maintaining our oral health is also very important.
Our teeth and gums form a single unit. As a result, damage to our teeth also affects the gums. Conversely, the teeth will suffer if the gums are not in good health.
