About Fluocaril
Fluocaril is a pharmacy toothpaste brand developed in 1946 by a pharmacist named Carlier, which presents itself as the first toothpaste brand to use fluoride as an active ingredient. It was bought by Procter & Gamble and is sold only in pharmacies, with toothpastes for children, sensitive teeth and whitening, bi-fluoride formulas, mouthwash, toothbrushes and interdental products.
Fluoride in all seven
Toothpastes make up all 7 Fluocaril products we list – bi-fluoré (including a sensitive-teeth version), Blancheur whitening and junior pastes for ages 6–12 and 7–12 with red fruit flavour. SODIUM SACCHARIN, HYDRATED SILICA, AROMA, SORBITOL, AQUA and SODIUM FLUORIDE appear in all 7, followed by XANTHAN GUM (5) and CI 77891 (4).
None of the 7 is flagged for fragrance (the taste is declared as AROMA), silicones, parabens or denatured alcohol (ALCOHOL DENAT.).
What bi-fluoré means
"Bi-fluoré" means the paste combines two fluoride sources, typically SODIUM FLUORIDE with SODIUM MONOFLUOROPHOSPHATE; the total fluoride content is stated on the tube in ppm or mg. Junior pastes are formulated for specific age ranges, so check the age on the pack as well as the list.
