A good fit if

  • Coffee, tea or wine is your daily habit.

Look at another tube if

Directions

Brushing with Serena

Sangi's directions for the tube, in three moves.

The full brushing page
  1. A short line of paste

    Put 1 to 1.5 cm of paste on the brush. That is 0.4 to 0.6 inch, less than the length of most brush heads.

  2. Three to five minutes

    Brush teeth and gums gently and with care for about 3 to 5 minutes. Sangi suggests brushing after each meal, 3 times a day.

  3. Rinse lightly

    Spit, then rinse lightly. The directions say a light rinse leaves some of the paste's hydroxyapatite behind in the mouth.

In buyers' words

Buyers on Serena

Good toothpaste

Beyond impressed by this toothpaste! I use another brand first and then use a small amount of this after and my teeth has never felt better. Totally worth the value

Box seal arrived open

I am concerned tmof this is authentic as the seal came open and dirty (see photo) but the toothpaste is sealed. Also the tube has a made in Japan sticker on the front. I want verification this is correct packaging as i haven't ordered this one before. I use the premio or m plus.
