Domestic consumers seeking high quality at an affordable price often gravitate toward German-made products. Well, Lakalut toothpastes are no exception here, as they are produced in Germany - and many are not averse to buying them for this reason alone.
But are they really that good, do Lakalut toothpastes have their own “zest” and what is important for the average consumer to know in advance (before purchasing) - we will talk about this in more detail later...
On a note
The LACALUT line of products has been on the market for almost a century, and the first toothpastes of this brand appeared in the 20s of the 20th century. The manufacturer is Dr. Theiss Naturwaren GmbH - this German pharmaceutical holding has branches in many countries, and its toothpastes are sold in more than 50 countries around the world.
Since 1977, Lacalut toothpastes appeared in the USSR, and today they are popular in all countries of the post-Soviet space. You can buy such a paste at almost any more or less large pharmacy.
On the official website, Lakalut toothpastes are presented in dozens of varieties, among which the key and most popular are the following series (including several pastes at once):
- Lakalut Active;
- Lakalut White;
- Lakalut Sensitive;
- As well as a series of children's toothpastes.
Before we talk about them in more detail, one important nuance should be noted: all Lakalut toothpastes contain aluminum lactate. It was from the first syllables of the name of this substance that the brand name “Lacalut” was created.
On a note
Aluminum lactate is an aluminum salt of lactic acid: this compound has a pronounced astringent and hemostatic effect, as well as anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, Lakalut toothpastes are recommended, first of all, for people who experience inflammation in the oral cavity, periodontal disease and bleeding gums.
For those who are inclined to succumb to some of the hysteria that has reigned around aluminum salts lately: Lacalut brand products have been tested and approved by the German Dental Society, with the children's series being awarded by the Children's Dental Center of the University of Leipzig. The State Research Institute of Dentistry of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation also confirmed the high quality of all products of the brand.
In general, not only ordinary consumers (with rare exceptions), but also experienced dentists respond positively to Lakalut toothpastes.
Review
“I have been familiar with Lakalut pastes for about 20 years. I myself work as a dentist, so I know that in the 90s of the last century these German pastes were the only normal option, although they were quite expensive then. And what’s surprising is that the quality has remained at its best throughout all this time. A couple of generations of patients have already passed through my hands, and I recommend Lakalut to anyone who is interested. I am observing the result: in general, in patients switching to Lakalut, caries appears less often and the gums are healthy. I myself use Lakalut Active. Excellent tools."
Konstantin Valerievich, Rivne
Compound
- Aluminum lactate
is the main component from which the name comes. This lactic acid salt is extremely beneficial for tooth enamel. Aluminum lactate also has an anti-inflammatory and astringent effect, helps with high enamel sensitivity, and reduces bleeding gums. - Aluminum fluoride
reliably protects against caries and strengthens enamel. - Chlorhexedine,
due to its bactericidal properties, prevents the formation of bacterial plaque, and if it has already appeared, it destroys it. - Allantoin
stops inflammatory processes and helps with bleeding gums. - The fluoride system
strengthens the enamel surface and protects it from the aggressive action of acids.
Rating of the best toothpastes 2022 according to dentists
Oral care should not only be regular, but also correct. Therefore, many are wondering which toothpaste will best protect against caries, gum disease and other problems, will not damage tooth enamel and is affordable. Since the assortment is huge today, when choosing, you should focus on 3 main criteria: personal preferences, dentist recommendations, user reviews. Based on the last 2, we created a rating of toothpastes for 2022, which will be useful to you during your next purchase.
Active
Photo: Lakalut Active toothpaste
Recommended for use for periodontitis, stomatitis and gingivitis
. Helps strengthen enamel, remove plaque, slow down and stop inflammatory processes, stop bleeding gums, prevent caries, destroy pathogenic microflora, including pathogens of fungal infections and herpes.
Based on this product, the manufacturer has developed and offers its consumers a paste with high foaming and a richer taste for intensive cleansing.
Consumers note that this product, intended for cleaning teeth, has excellent cleaning ability. After regular use (but not more than 1 month), bleeding decreases, the unpleasant odor from the mouth disappears, and the tartar becomes thinner with each brushing.
What is not pleasant for everyone is that after use there is a feeling of tightness in the mouth
(as after unripe persimmon), this occurs due to the action of the main ingredient - aluminum lactate. But after Lakalut active Herbal with medicinal herbs, there is almost no astringent feeling.
The Lakalut Active toothpaste, in addition to the usual components, includes extracts: sage, myrrh, chamomile, star anise and essential oils: fennel, peppermint, thyme, eucalyptus, which further enhance its effect.
Price of 1 tube (75 ml) from 120 to 180 rubles
. Combined use with a mouthwash of the same name increases effectiveness.
Whitening toothpastes Lakalut
Lakalut toothpastes from the White series are positioned as whitening and capable of returning (restoring) the natural whiteness of a smile. An important point is that you should not expect that these products, like hydrogen peroxide, will lighten tooth enamel: no, in this case we are talking about mechanical lightening of the surface of the teeth by removing various pigmented deposits.
Thus, if your enamel is naturally yellow, spotted or even brown, then you will not be able to get a snow-white Hollywood smile.
So, the White line includes whitening pastes:
- White – basic product;
- White&Repair – in addition to whitening, it provides a remineralizing effect, that is, it saturates tooth enamel with mineral components;
- White Edelweiss – here the “highlight” to the whitening effect is the presence of extracts of alpine edelweiss, sage, mantle and verbena. Due to this, pronounced anti-inflammatory, wound healing and antioxidant effects are achieved;
- White Alpenminze – with alpine mint extract for maximum fresh breath.
For example, the Lacalut White whitening toothpaste has an abrasiveness index of RDA 120, that is, slightly above the average value, therefore it cleans the enamel quite carefully and in some cases is suitable even for sensitive teeth (for which, generally speaking, the use of whitening pastes is often undesirable due to... thinned enamel).
Composition of Lakalut White toothpaste:
The presence of pyrophosphates in the composition, which are effective complexing agents, allows you to gradually destroy the tartar matrix by extracting calcium ions from it. However, it should be understood that this sometimes has a negative effect, since calcium will also be extracted to some extent from the surface layer of tooth enamel. That is why the use of toothpastes with pyrophosphates is usually not recommended for people with sensitive teeth.
On a note
But the presence of potassium pyrophosphate (Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate) allows you to achieve a double effect: in addition to the action of the pyrophosphate part, potassium ions also work - penetrating into the dentinal tubules, they reduce the sensitivity of teeth to various irritants. It would seem great - it means your teeth won’t ache from cold, sour, etc. However, if whitening toothpastes with potassium compounds are used incorrectly, a person may simply not notice that he is causing damage to his teeth - they will not signal the presence of a problem with pain, and this is a certain danger.
Not without the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate in the composition of Lakalut White - the possible harm of this substance was noted above. And in addition to it, there are also preservatives methylparaben and propylparaben, the dangers of which are also controversial today.
It is also useful to read: Pomorin toothpaste
In general, we can say that the composition of the paste is well suited for those people whose teeth are fine, but have plaque or tartar. Although even in this case, the manufacturer recommends using the product in courses - no more than 4 weeks.
The price of Lakalut toothpastes with a whitening effect is about 250-350 rubles.
Review
“Although the Lakalut whitening paste does whiten, it’s not as strong as they promise. In just a month, I noticed a lightening of the enamel by about half a tone. And this despite the fact that I brush my teeth regularly, even three times a day. And I also noticed an unpleasant feature - after tea or coffee, the enamel immediately seems to darken greatly. True, there are some advantages: my gums have stopped bleeding. But that’s not what I was looking for, so I’m unlikely to buy it again.”
Antonina, Serpukhov
Whitening, White
Today, being beautiful and healthy means keeping up with the times. And a beautiful and healthy person must have a snow-white smile.
To achieve this, you can undergo a teeth cleaning and whitening procedure at a dental clinic or purchase a high-quality whitening paste. For example, such as Lakalut White.
Any such product contains abrasives. It is they who gently clean or peel off the enamel like sandpaper. The manufacturer Lakalut White was not one of the last to choose his abrasive - it is not cheap, it has a spherical adjustable cut, and it does its job perfectly.
Its microscopic particles easily remove bacterial plaque on enamel without damaging it, but only gently polishing the surface.
The remaining components (fluorides, aluminum lactate, pyrophosphates) are also included in other products of this German company. They strengthen the enamel, prevent the formation of tartar, and take care of the gums.
1 tube (75 ml) will cost from 130 to 190 rubles
. A mouthwash with the same name costs 190 – 240 rubles.
INNOVA Intensive restoration and brightening of enamel
This toothpaste is suitable for those with sensitive teeth. “INNOVA Intensive restoration and lightening of enamel” contains nanohydroxyapatite, calcis component, fluoride, and grape seed extract, which most effectively protect against caries. And the plant-derived component Tannase gently whitens teeth by dissolving pigmented plaque on the enamel. INNOVA toothpaste perfectly relieves tooth sensitivity, seals dentinal tubules, saturates the enamel with minerals, strontium salts effectively solve the problem of sensitivity, penetrating deep inside the tooth. INNOVA, in addition to remineralizing teeth, prevents bleeding gums. This toothpaste contains no SLS, chlorhexidine peroxide, or aggressive abrasives. Among the disadvantages are the high cost and not a pronounced mint taste.
INNOVA Intensive restoration and brightening of enamel
Sensitive
If you periodically experience pain when cold or hot drinks, food, sour or sweet foods enter the oral cavity, you can talk about high sensitivity of the tooth enamel.
It appears when whitening pastes are used incorrectly, when calcium is washed out, when the enamel becomes abrasive, and when there are various defects and caries on its surface. In difficult cases, dentists resort to remineralization, the help of a drill, and filling carious cavities.
We will tell you about all types of President toothpaste, and the indications for use of each of them.
In this article you will find a list of cleaning products that do not contain fluoride.
Here: https://www.vash-dentist.ru/krasota-i-uxod/zubnyie-pastyi/splat-vidyi-osobennosti-i-otzyivyi.html - a description of Splat black toothpaste is given.
And in simple cases, special pastes are recommended, among which Lakalut Sensitive is called one of the best. It is designed to care for sensitive enamel, contains considerable concentrations of fluorides (1476 ppm is a very good indicator) and therefore has a high mineralizing ability
.
The most expensive and therefore infrequently used by Dr.'s competitors. Theiss Naturwaren GmbH component – amino fluoride. Lacalut Sensitive is often recommended for the treatment of cervical caries; it is used in courses of no more than 1–2 months; in between, regular hygienic paste should be used.
Price of Lakalut Sensitive toothpaste from 130 to 180 rubles
, you can buy a rinse aid for 200 - 230 rubles.
Extra Sensitive
The product Lacalut Extra Sensitive is considered an even more powerful tool in the fight against the above ailments. In addition to fluorides, it also contains strontium acetate and potassium chloride - components that lead to a decrease in the sensitivity of nerve endings
.
Often the effect is noticed after the first use. Experts say that there is no better composition for the care of sensitive teeth than Extra Sensitive. Accordingly, the cost is higher - from 170 to 210 rubles per 50 ml tube
.
Lakalut series of toothpastes for adults
In total, the Lacalut line of pastes for adults includes almost twenty items. It would seem easy to get confused. However, in this assortment three key groups can be distinguished:
- Lakalut Active - this includes pastes to combat inflammation and bleeding of the gums;
- Lakalut White – a series of whitening toothpastes;
- Lakalut Sensitive - this series is intended primarily for people suffering from increased sensitivity of teeth (hyperesthesia).
In addition, the range includes others, including somewhat exotic toothpastes: Fitoformula, Alpin, Duo, Basic, Fluor, Fluor Gel and Flora.
Review
“I’ve been using Lakalut toothpastes for a long time, so I’m leaving my review. Over the course of several years, I tried almost all the series, and after a while I was not particularly thrilled. Some pastes are generally the same, only the name and taste are slightly different. The whitening series was a separate disappointment. I didn’t notice any whitening; it even seemed to me that a slight creamy tint appeared on my teeth. It’s not that it’s become terrible, but you still expect from such a brand that its promises are kept. I only like the active series, now I use it as my main one, and sometimes I experiment with whitening pastes from other brands.”

Children's
Up to 4 years – Baby
Dentists advise teaching a child to care for the oral cavity correctly, starting from the time the very first incisor appears. Among Lakalut children's products there is a paste with such a pleasant, wonderful raspberry taste, intended for children up to 4 years of age, which can be used every day.
It cleans the surface very delicately and is safe for the health of the child.

Instead of fluoride, Lakalut Baby contains amino fluorides, which act more gently. Costs from 165 rubles

The brush, which the company’s specialists also specially developed for their youngest consumers, has a comfortable handle, soft bristles and a rubberized head. It will be interesting for the baby to watch the change in color of the bristles, which serves as a signal: the brush needs to be replaced.
4 – 8 years – Kidz
For children whose baby teeth are beginning to change to permanent ones, there is another product. This is Lakalut Kids for children from 4 to 8 years old. Pleasant mint taste, contains silicon dioxide (a high-quality abrasive), which perfectly cleans and polishes enamel, but does not remove fluoride into a hard-to-reach compound, entering into a chemical reaction with it.
And fluoride, by the way, is considered the most important protector against caries. The price of a tube (50 ml) starts from 140 to 180 rubles
.
From 8 years old – Tins
When the child turns 8 years old, you can switch to Lakalut Teens 8+ gel. Pleasant mint-citrus taste, high fluoride content, no sugar, flavor microcapsules - this transparent gel will definitely appeal to teenagers.

. To enhance the effect, a mouthwash with the same name was developed especially for children of this age; its price is 180–260 rubles.
All children's pastes contain the same adult components, only their concentration varies depending on age. They clean well and are not dangerous to the health of small consumers. It’s not for nothing that in 2014 Lakalut Baby received the 3rd prize from the magazine “Mom, It’s Me” and became one of the 3 most favorite products of babies.
Sensodyne Instant effect
Sensodyne “Instant Effect” medicated toothpaste has a pleasant taste and effectively combats the problem of increased sensitivity of tooth enamel. To get rid of tooth sensitivity, dentists recommend not only brushing your teeth with Sensodyne toothpaste in the morning and evening, but also periodically applying the paste after brushing so that it penetrates deeper into the enamel. Sensodyne gently cleanses teeth and helps restore the oral mucosa. According to reviews from those who use Sensodyne paste, the first improvements occur literally on the third to fifth day of use. Toothpaste contains the optimal level of fluoride (0.145 ppm). Sensodyne can be used by children from 12 years of age to prevent caries. The price of this paste is quite affordable. There are few disadvantages: the paste is runny and does not form enough foam.

Our whole family uses Lacalut White, a toothpaste with a whitening effect. My teeth became white within the first month of using this paste. After brushing your teeth, you feel pleasantly fresh in your mouth. We chose Lacalut pasta because we consider German-made products to be of excellent quality. Although, of course, in terms of price, the toothpaste could be cheaper.

I have been buying toothpastes of this brand for probably 6 or 7 years now. Of course, compared to other brands, Lakalut is more expensive, but the quality of this paste is excellent. I took different types. I really like Lakalut Active, it cleans teeth perfectly, strengthens enamel, and tastes good. And recently I started buying Lakalut Sensitive, because for some reason my teeth become sensitive in the fall and winter. Lakalut Sensitive hardens the enamel, and my teeth stop reacting the same way to cold, hot, sour, etc. The article says that there is also Lakalut Sensitive Extra paste. I would love to try it, but for some reason I have never seen it on sale.

Of the presented pastes, I cleaned only Lakalut Active. I have never tried better pasta. She completely removed the bleeding, cleaned my teeth well, and there were much fewer stones.

I really love Lakalut toothpastes. I used to constantly buy Lakalut Active and Lakalut White. The pastes have a pleasant taste and smell and clean teeth well from plaque. When I visited the dentist and complained about the sensitivity of my teeth and gums, the doctor recommended Lakalut Sensitive and a soft toothbrush. I liked the result: my teeth became less sensitive and my gums didn’t bleed.

I bought Lakalut toothpaste after watching an advertisement. But you remember where the dark-skinned man stands and smiles with all his white teeth. First of all, I want to note the cost-effectiveness of this toothpaste, although it is more expensive than other toothpastes, it lasts much longer. Secondly, it does its job perfectly, cleans well, strengthens gums and freshens breath for a long time. The only thing I don't really like is its taste, but that's my opinion.
Customer Reviews
Oksana: Lakalut Active paste allowed me to cope with the problem of bleeding gums, and my husband - to reduce the sensitivity of the enamel to external irritants (cold, heat, sour, sweet). The previously used toothpaste did not help us cope with such problems. We purchased 3 types of products for ourselves and use each as needed (for treatment or prevention).
Sergey: I’m surprised how different the lines of the Lakalut series are. For me, the Basic and Alpin products turned out to be absolutely useless, while Extra Sensitive and Multi Effect allowed me to cope with some dental problems and tartar. None of the drugs relieves enamel sensitivity so well. Unpleasant sensations from eating cold and hot food disappear a few days after starting to use the paste.
Elena: I have suffered from tooth sensitivity since I was young. The only salvation from the problem for me is Lakalut Sensitive and Active pastes, which I use alternately. I use the first product during the day, the second in the evening. She noted a high effect from using mouth rinses from the same company. These products especially help with incipient problems with gum pockets.
Toothpaste against plaque and tartar: what to look for
Nowadays, there is a huge selection of anti-plaque products. In most cases, such toothpaste may contain:
- pyrophosphates;
- fluorides;
- zinc compounds;
- citric acid salts;
- triclosan (as an antibacterial component).
Studies show that with the use of anti-tartar agents, the risk of plaque formation is reduced by approximately 50%. However, it is worth remembering that they will not solve existing problems and it is pointless to use such toothpastes to soften existing stone, especially if it is under the gum.
