Close up Extended Protection toothpaste is the newest addition to the Close up range. We recognize that eating habits of the family are changing. These days many families eat outside the home a lot more than in the past and in doing so, eat a lot of sweet sticky foods. These sweet sticky foods can get stuck in between the teeth eventually leading to tooth decay, etc.

We know mothers worry a lot about this happening to their children, especially since moms cannot always be there to monitor what their children eat. This new red and white-stripped toothpaste which we call Close up Extended Protection toothpaste was developed specially in response to this worry which mothers have. It is available in the big 100ml pack size.

Its key benefits are:

  • 12 hours protection between brushing
