Elmex
The Elmex brand has perhaps the longest history of all manufacturers of oral products. The company began operating in the 17th century, producing medicines, and in 1843, during a severe influenza epidemic, the most effective tablets to combat the virus were produced here. Later, the company began producing medicinal lozenges, and by the mid-20th century it tried to produce toothpastes.
It was these products that became so popular that the company stopped working in other areas and focused only on oral products. Since 1986, the range has been growing, adding formulas for sensitive teeth and gums, as well as accessories to keep your breath fresh and your smile white. In the Republic of Belarus, the Elmex brand assortment can be purchased in the multi-regional online store MAKEUP.
Elmex: the power of Swiss dentists
The brand belongs to the Swiss corporation Goldene Apotheke Basel International, and the quality of the products is tested by both private dentists and large research institutes. The products are recommended by dentists for daily care, for the prevention of caries on molars, and for strengthening gums.
Double action is possible thanks to amino fluoride - this active substance is the basis of the product and has proven its effectiveness both clinically and in practice:
- it replenishes the lack of minerals in the enamel;
- blocks the development of caries in the early stages;
- increases resistance to acids in the mouth.
Thanks to amino fluorides, it was possible to significantly reduce the level of abrasiveness of pastes - they do not injure the enamel, create a protective film on its surface and significantly brighten it.

- Maintain fresh breath throughout the day;
- protect gums from bleeding;
- reduce sensitivity to cold and hot;

Elmex paste
Polina's skills: she spits out toothpaste, only at first she pretended to spit (this was back when Lakalut was around), but now for real, I bought Elmex (Colgate), it's the usual white one for children - so it foams a little, and she spits well. And we started spitting water while we were rinsing our teeth. She took water into her mouth and spat. At first it didn’t work out well, now I want to teach her how to gargle while we learn the sound - xxxxgghhhgghh.
I realized that I’m already begging for sweets and chocolates) Polina: “Mom, do you know what I have?” I answer: “what?” - Chocolate - Where do you have it? shows two hands in fists and asks, where are yours? - I don’t have it - but let’s get it, a little one... and such a cunning mordary...
And about kindergarten. While Polina and I went to an adaptation group (every week there was a new teacher), I was able to compare how my child was getting used to kindergarten. A lot depends on the teacher, how she treats the children, how she calms them down, what they play... It is important to get to a good teacher. Polinka is a very gentle child. She loves to hug and kiss, and is often offended.. Previously, children simply took toys from her hands, she didn’t take them away, she was just at a loss. And they started going to the garden... began to defend their own toys, asking permission to play with other people’s toys. A well-mannered child, but we must learn to stand up for ourselves, and as teachers tell us, caressed children have a harder time adapting to new things.. News from kindergarten: the main teacher has returned from vacation, and our adaptation to kindergarten has ended. Since the third day, Polina now stays all day in the garden from 8 to 17 with a nap. In the morning, of course, he still cries, but I would even say he’s more likely choking back his tears... he doesn’t want to part with me. But still, in the evening, when I pick her up, she is in a good mood. The teacher works with them. At home she constantly asks me to play something... for example, “Mom, let’s talk about gnomes...” and I don’t even know what kind of gnomes they are. Makes dad walk like a wolf, like a duck...) She began to play alone longer, loves to read books to herself... knows a lot by heart... and a cockroach, and the stolen sun, and a clattering fly... and all sorts of others. Of course, she doesn’t play much with the kids, but a friend has appeared... even the teacher says that Polina singles out one girl and even walks with her by the hand.. Another funny thing is that Polina was chosen as a “bride” by one boy, according to the teacher... but she doesn’t let him I can’t hug myself or hold my hand, from which he suffers... In general, these are the things... But now I have a lot more free time... I only cook dinner... so that in the evening I can sit down at the common family table.
I’m not in a hurry to go to work yet, there’s still time, I’ll have time to go out before I’m 3 years old. This has something to do with kindergarten (if I start to get sick, I’ll have to take sick leave), and with the summer (dacha, supplies), and most likely in the fall (October) . And Polina will become older, almost 2.5. Yesterday Polina came home from kindergarten with a scratch on her nose and under her eye. We asked her something like this about what happened. She replies: “It’s Dima’s patsalapal.” Why? - “I don’t know.” Did you take the toy? - “yes, I took it” and what toy? - “I don’t know”, in general the child no longer complains about sores, but treats it as a fact. And before, every sore needs to be treated, smeared, mom, kiss the leg, no, not here, kiss here.” Today is a family meeting, dad volunteered to go
