The brand

Apagard on the record

Apagard belongs to Sangi Co., Ltd., a Japanese company. The U.S. trademark register shows the name registered for dentifrices in 1998, on the strength of a Japanese registration from 1995, and renewed since.

A second registration followed in 2021, in the class for dental preparations. Both are live, and both name the same owner.

The product itself is older than the paperwork. A 2021 review in the journal Materials credits Sangi with the first enamel restorative dentifrice, in 1978. The export tubes print "Made in Japan, Since 1985".

In the United States the Apagard lineup is six tubes. The export tubes carry English on the pack. Royal and Renamel come in their Japanese cartons.

Who runs this

An independent shop guide

Apagard Store is an independent shop guide to Apagard toothpaste. It is not run by or affiliated with Sangi Co., Ltd, the owner of the Apagard trademark.

Apagard Store is not Sangi and does not speak for it. The guide compares the tubes, quotes what their packs say and links each one to our retail partner, where the sale takes place.

We earn a commission on purchases made through those links. It does not change the price you pay, and it does not decide which tube is called standard and which premium: the packs do that.
