Elmex® jelly for children, teenagers and braces wearers

Children's teeth change from the age of around 6 years.The new, permanent teeth require special protection because their tooth enamel has not yet fully hardened after eruption and is therefore more susceptible to tooth decay.Children and adolescents with braces also have an increased risk of tooth decay due to difficult oral hygiene.Elmex® gelée supports the hardening of tooth enamel and reverses the onset of tooth decay.
