Daily hygienic rituals are familiar to every civilized person from early childhood.
Every modern child knows that before eating you need to wash your hands, wash your face, and clean your mouth twice a day.
We use brush and toothpaste out of habit, often without realizing why we are doing it.
So, oral hygiene procedures, provided they are regular and at the required level of intensity, help get rid of plaque, as well as waste products of bacteria that live in large numbers in the human oral cavity, helping to clean the enamel.
Any hygienic preparation intended for cleaning teeth cleanses them of plaque.
It is largely unable to whiten tooth enamel; for this purpose, procedures are carried out in the dentist’s office.
It is recommended to purchase it at a pharmacy, in which case you are insured against counterfeits.
All PresiDENT products
All products of the President brand are divided into separate series, containing, in addition to toothpastes, also other oral care products:
- Classic - well suited for daily care in cases where you do not have any specific problems with your teeth and gums. The Classic series includes President Classic toothpaste, a brush, a mouthwash, phytofloss with mint and sage, as well as interdental brushes.
- Unique are specially developed hygiene products for people living in regions where there is a high level of fluoride in drinking water. The Unique series contains President toothpaste without fluoride and a rinse capable of mineralizing tooth enamel due to special calcium-containing compounds (which, by the way, partially neutralize excess fluoride in the surface layer of tooth enamel, converting it into fluorapatite, which is useful for the tooth structure).
- Eco-bio - in this series, the emphasis is on the complete elimination of preservatives, dyes and, in general, potential allergens in the composition of the products. Eco-bio includes a refreshing paste with protection against caries and tartar, as well as a brush with natural bristles. But there is no mouthwash with the appropriate name, since it is really difficult to create a mouthwash with effective antibacterial components that would not cause any allergic reactions in 100% of cases.
- Sensitive - specially created for sensitive teeth, or more precisely, with painful sensitivity of tooth enamel and gums. The series contains toothpaste, mouthwash, gel to strengthen enamel, phytofloss with chamomile and a special toothbrush. In addition to solving problems with hyperesthesia, toothpaste is also recommended for the prevention of cervical caries (thinning of the enamel with the subsequent development of caries is often observed in the cervical area).
- White – this series was created primarily for people who want to carefully whiten their teeth without damaging the enamel. It is known that many whitening toothpastes whiten enamel due to their high abrasive action, but in the case of President White and Renome toothpastes, the RDA controlled abrasiveness index is only 75 (medium, suitable for daily use). The White series includes toothpastes for daily use (except White Plus, which has an RDA abrasiveness index of 200), brushes, rinse aid, refreshing and whitening sprays, as well as phytofloss with Icelandic moss extract.
- Anti-age is an anti-aging series designed to fight the signs of aging of teeth and gums. Includes a toothbrush and toothpaste suitable for daily use.
- Defense - this series is intended for people suffering from bad breath (halitosis). A feature of President Defense toothpaste is its fairly long-lasting effect, and the effect is achieved not simply by the use of strong fragrances, but by the antibacterial effect of the components. The series includes toothpaste, mouthwash, phytofloss with hexetidine and propolis, as well as a brush and disinfectant sprays.
- Active - suitable for people suffering from bleeding gums, frequent inflammation and looseness. The series contains President Active toothpaste, mouth rinse, paste for difficult cases, spray, brush, phytofloss with zinc citrate and oak extract. President Active toothpaste should be used in courses of 2-3 weeks followed by a break.
- Exclusive - this series is well suited for those who suffer from infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity that are bacterial or fungal in nature. Contains President Exclusive anti-inflammatory paste, rinse aid and gum balm.
- Antibacterial - as the name suggests, this series is focused on protecting the oral cavity from bacteria; it is suitable, first of all, for people who have various removable and fixed dentures, braces, crowns in the oral cavity (bacterial plaque will not form on them, and hard-to-reach places will also not become a haven for bacteria). The President Antibacterial series includes fluoride-free paste, rinse aid, brush and phytofloss with chlorhexidine and mallow extract.
- Garant – for fixing removable dentures and caring for them. This series does not include toothpaste, but consists of a fixing cream, a special brush for dentures and effervescent tablets to remove plaque.
- The President children's series for the care of milk and permanent teeth includes toothpastes for children 0-3, 3-6, 6+, 12+ years old with different flavors, as well as a rinse and lime phytofloss. A special feature of President children's pastes is that the fluoride content in them corresponds to the age group of children; sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens are not used in the composition (these substances can potentially cause stomatitis and allergic reactions).

Review
“I myself have been using President toothpastes for a very long time; I used to bring them from Europe, but now you can buy them in Russia. When my grandson grew up, I bought him President children’s toothpaste with raspberry flavor; reviews about it were only positive. And the problem of brushing our teeth disappeared on its own, although before our grandson brushed his teeth reluctantly. White teeth, no caries. I recommend to everyone!"

Product lines for children
The distinctive features of the children's pastes presented by the brand are their unique taste and safety. The products are intended for the care of milk and permanent elements of the dentition. The fluoride content in the gel meets international requirements. The pastes do not contain substances that cause allergic reactions: sugars, parabens and sodium lauryl sulfate.
The line of children's products is developed by age:
- 0-3 years – baby;
- 3-6 years – kids;
- 6 – 12 years – junior;
- 12-18 years old – teenagers.
Let's look at each type of baby toothpaste separately.
Pastas President for children
Baby
Children under 3 years of age are recommended to perform hygiene measures under the supervision of adults. The President brand has developed a product for patients of the age group in question that is absolutely safe if accidentally swallowed. The cleaning system of the product has a low abrasiveness index of 25.
With regular use of the product, the early development of caries in children can be prevented. The product relieves pain at the moment of eruption of the first milk elements. President Baby pastes are available in 2 flavors: raspberry and caramel.
Kids
The gel has a soft texture and the presence of fluoride in its composition. The drug is suitable for the care of removable and permanent bites. It helps strengthen enamel, quickly remove plaque on teeth and teach the child to regular oral hygiene.
Pastes with fluoride are available in several versions: cola and candy flavors. Fluoride-free gels have strawberry and marmalade flavors. The abrasiveness index of the President Kidz product line is 50 units.
Junior and Teens
Products for teenagers and teenagers are also available in several flavors:
- Lime – prevents tooth decay from caries.
- Strawberries – act as a preventive measure for dental diseases.
- Chocolate is a new product in the series, developed in 2022.
The series of pastes for teenagers contain original glitter. They attract the attention of older children to the process of brushing their teeth.
Whitening pastes President
The President series of whitening toothpastes includes three items:
- Renome;
- White;
- White Plus.
PresiDENT Renome is suitable for daily use in the morning and evening, has a controlled abrasiveness index of RDA 75 and is positioned as a gentle teeth whitening product. It is important to understand that the whitening (more precisely, brightening) effect is achieved by removing pigmented plaque from the surface of the enamel, but if the enamel itself is yellow, then you will not be able to create a Hollywood smile, no matter how much you brush your teeth with this paste.
The photo below shows the composition of President Renome toothpaste:
In the description of the paste, the manufacturer focuses on the use of an abrasive-polishing system consisting of two types of abrasive components - a finely dispersed calcium compound (calcium phosphate dihydrate) and the so-called Syloblanc (hidden under the common name Silica). The first type of abrasive has diamond-shaped crystals, and the second has spherical particles. By combining these two abrasives, more effective cleaning of enamel from plaque is achieved.
Among the disadvantages of PresiDENT Renome toothpaste, one can note the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate in it (it is believed that this compound can cause stomatitis and is also a potential allergen) and the use of methylparaben as a preservative (there has also been a lot of hysteria around parabens lately, there are even statements that they have carcinogenic properties, which, however, is doubtful; but they can be classified as potential allergens).
Considering the moderate abrasiveness index (RDA 75) and due to the absence of enzymes (papain, bromelain) and pyrophosphates in the paste, it is difficult to count on a strong brightening effect - that’s what gentle whitening is for.
Although reviews sometimes say the opposite.
Review
“President Renome, in my opinion, is the best whitening toothpaste on the domestic market. I noticed the effect of its use after just a few uses, I also read about it before, and now I myself have joined the circle of its admirers. The only drawback is the price, our President Renome pasta costs almost 300 rubles, not everyone can afford it.”
Stas, Perm
President White whitening toothpaste can also be used daily (RDA 75). This toothpaste contains Icelandic cetraria extract and calcium glycerophosphate, which, along with whitening, ensures simultaneous mineralization of the enamel.
But PresiDENT White Plus toothpaste provides significantly more intense whitening - the whole point is its high abrasiveness (RDA 200 due to calcium carbonate, simply ordinary chalk). However, it is important to understand that President White Plus whitening toothpaste is not suitable for daily use; it is recommended by dentists for use only once a week, as otherwise it can seriously damage tooth enamel.
The photo shows the composition of PresiDENT White Plus toothpaste:
The paste does not contain fluoride compounds and is indicated for people who are prone to the formation of dental plaque and tartar, but is not recommended for use by people with sensitive teeth.
Also in the composition you can see the same sodium lauryl sulfate and methylparaben (their negative properties were mentioned above).
Review of PresiDENT White Plus toothpaste:
“I have seen conflicting reviews about President Intensive Whitening toothpaste. Some write that using it wears off the enamel and sharply increases tooth sensitivity, while others claim that it is one of the best whitening pastes. I sometimes smoke and drink a lot of coffee, so I decided to try this remedy. When used once a week, I did not notice any harm, and my teeth actually became noticeably whiter. Good whitening paste at a reasonable price...”

Composition of the product
President paste contains such active substances as calcium lactate, pantothenate, glycerophosphate, xylitol and papain.
The hygiene product under the President brand has a good composition, since it contains three calcium compounds, they are easily absorbed, this makes the toothpaste stand out from all the others.
Papain promotes good dissolution of the protein matrix of dental plaque, greatly facilitating its removal.
Xylitol helps reduce the rate of plaque formation and helps neutralize the acidic environment in the oral cavity.
In the retail network, this product costs from 190 rubles and more, depending on the region of the country and the pricing policy of the retail establishment.
PresiDENT Classic and reviews about it
President Classic toothpaste can be used daily. Contains fluoride (1450 ppm), RDA 75, its peculiarity is the content of a large number of plant components, due to which the paste not only fights caries, but also to some extent protects against bleeding and inflammation of the gums, and ensures fresh breath.
Composition of President Classic toothpaste:
It should be especially noted that the manufacturer excluded sodium lauryl sulfate from the composition (but methylparaben is still present). In general, the composition of the paste can be called largely “standard”, without anything exclusive or frills – that’s why the product is called Classic.
Review of President Classic toothpaste:
“The paste is not bad, it’s not expensive, it smells nice, but frankly, it doesn’t clean very well, it’s too delicate. If anyone loves a perfectly polished tooth surface, then this product is not for him. It doesn’t remove plaque from my teeth; I need to brush thoroughly and for a long time to achieve the desired effect. My husband didn't like it at all. In general, it’s not for everyone. My rating is 3.5 on a five-point scale.”

Information about the paste and manufacturer
President pastes have therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. All brand products have been produced by an Italian company since 1971. The history of the company began with the Betafarma SpA laboratory, which was engaged in the production of oral care products. Subsequently, the laboratory expanded and opened a number of subsidiary production facilities in Milan.
On the package with the barcode of President toothpaste there are the first 2 numbers - 80, which confirms the fact that the drug was produced in Italy. Today you can purchase the product in almost every pharmacy. For each type of toothpaste, the manufacturer has developed its own mouth rinse.
The advantages of the product in question include:
- Approved by the Association of Italian Dentists. President paste has been tested in several scientific institutes in Moscow. As a result of the tests, the effectiveness and safety of the brand for customers was confirmed.
- Wide range of oral care products. The manufacturer, in addition to toothpastes, produces mouth rinses, refreshing sprays, balms, flosses and brushes.
- The presence of a gentle abrasive complex in some lines of pastes.
- Long shelf life (5 years).
- Positive reviews from dentists and buyers about the drug.
It is advisable that a suitable drug is selected after consultation with a dentist. The active ingredients contained in President pastes may be dangerous for some people.
Line of products from the President brand
President Defense – protection against bad breath
President Defense is a fairly innovative toothpaste designed to eliminate bad breath. Suitable for frequent use (until the problem is resolved).
Paste composition:
Some features:
- President Defense paste has not only antibacterial activity, but also antifungal activity, which is achieved due to the presence of zinc citrate in the composition;
- Abrasiveness index RDA 75;
- The composition contains sodium lauryl sulfate, which today has been elevated to the rank of undesirable and dangerous components;
- The ability to destroy anaerobic bacteria due to hexetidine and cetylpyridinium chloride is, of course, good. But it should be borne in mind that excessively long and regular use of strong antibacterial toothpastes can lead to dysbiosis of the oral cavity (in fact, the same thrush, only in the mouth).
If used wisely and carefully, President Defense toothpaste can truly become a real salvation for people suffering from bad breath and having complexes about it.
Review
“Well, what can I say, President Defense is very soft, has a pleasant mint taste, but very weak (lovers of extra mint products will not like it). Dissolves well in the mouth, but does not foam well. When squeezed out, it is thick and has a light pink color. It gets rid of unpleasant odor well, but only if you clean the tongue and the inner surface of the cheeks along with your teeth. The price of a 75 ml tube in our stores is about 250 rubles. While I look further, I will buy more.”
Konstantin, Arkhangelsk
President Exclusive
President Exclusive toothpaste, due to its strong antibacterial and antifungal activity, promotes the healing of soft tissues and eliminates inflammation in the oral cavity. It is indicated for stomatitis, gingivitis, glossitis and periodontitis.
It is important to take into account that President Exclusive should be used for no more than three weeks, and then be sure to take a break of the same duration.
The abrasiveness index RDA is 75. The paste contains hexetidine, fluorine compounds, propolis and thyme extracts. Does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate (and rightly so, since this compound can contribute to the development of stomatitis). Price: approximately 200-250 rubles. per tube.
Here is the composition of President Exclusive toothpaste:
What was said above about dysbiosis of the oral cavity due to excessive use of antibacterial agents is also true for PresiDENT Exclusive.
Review
“During pregnancy, my gums began to bleed. I tried different products until I found President Exclusive. This paste not only eliminates bleeding, but also perfectly cleanses the teeth; plaque does not appear until evening brushing. Both me and my husband like it. I buy regularly."
Yana, Omsk
PresiDENT Unique - unique protection without fluoride
President Unique toothpaste does not contain fluoride and is intended for use in regions with high levels of this element in drinking water. Also well suited for people with individual intolerance to fluoride compounds and those suffering from calcium deficiency.
The RDA abrasiveness index is 75. The product is intended for daily use, restores enamel due to its mineralization, prevents bleeding gums, protects against caries, and permanently eliminates plaque.
On a note
The phrase “restores enamel” must be understood correctly. If a person already has medium or deep caries, or there are wedge-shaped defects in the cervical area of the teeth, then, of course, toothpaste will not build up the enamel to normal. However, calcium-containing components can, in certain cases, significantly reduce the rate of further destruction and even stop this destruction by saturating tooth enamel with the missing calcium and making it stronger.
Composition of President Unique toothpaste:
One of the features of this toothpaste is the presence of papain in its composition - this is an enzyme that breaks down the protein component of plaque and thereby contributes to its effective removal from the enamel surface. However, the presence of papain probably does not qualify for the term “unique” (unique), since many other pastes use enzymes, but this is still an additional advantage.

Reviews from dentists and patients
Dentist, Oleg Vasilievich, 36 years old. I recommend that patients with hypersensitive teeth use President Sensitive toothpaste. The problem usually arises against the background of illiterate hygiene procedures: when the bristles are pressed hard on the enamel or when the brush is moved horizontally. When using President Sensitive, the reaction of teeth to hot and cold disappears within 2-3 weeks.
Buyer, Dmitry. I chose President Classic paste for myself because it does not contain harmful components and freshens breath for a long time. A large package lasts me a long time.
Anna, 33 years old. I purchased President Baby paste for my child. I was captivated by the fact that it does not contain allergens or surfactants. During the procedure, the gel foams slightly and it is convenient for me to brush my child’s teeth. The baby does not experience any unpleasant sensation during the procedure due to the fact that the gel has a pleasant, delicate taste.
