Today, is a very popular procedure all over the world , which not everyone can afford due to its high cost.
People are looking for cheaper and more accessible methods, such as whitening toothpastes.
Among the huge selection of such toothpastes, a special niche is occupied by the famous ROCS brand of toothpastes from the DRC company.
This type of whitening paste is produced using a special technology and has occupied a leading position in the market since 2007 .
Features of ROX whitening toothpaste
The abbreviation in the name of the toothpastes ROCS (ROCS) translates as: “remineralizing systems for the oral cavity.”
Note! The special technology of the whitening effect of toothpastes is based on the process of remineralization - restoration of the layer of tooth enamel by saturating it with minerals.
The manufacturer also took into account the age of the person, developing whitening products separately for children and the elderly.
Their composition is unique, consisting entirely of natural plant extracts and a complex of minerals .
It does not contain strong antiseptics or hazardous substances that irritate tooth enamel, so it is ideal for people with hypersensitive teeth.
Varieties of Rocs toothpastes
To strengthen teeth and gums, tobacco lovers and children, Rox teeth cleaning products with special compositions have been created.
"Rox Bionics"
It consists of 95% herbal components of raw materials and is intended for people with hypersensitivity of teeth, inflammation and bleeding of gums. The main ingredients are the active fractions of seaweed, licorice and thyme.
Since the product does not contain dyes and alcohol , fluorine and sodium lauryl sulfate, pregnant women can safely use it.
"Rox Coffee Tobacco"
Smoking and excessive consumption of tea, coffee, and red wine lead to active darkening of tooth enamel. The unique structure of Rocks Coffee Tobacco helps to cope with plaque and darkening of teeth. The composition includes vitamin E and baobab extract. With their help, dry mouth that occurs during smoking is eliminated. Due to the silicon dioxide and bromelain included in the composition, a double cleaning system occurs.
Series "Baby"
As soon as babies start teething, inflammation appears and the gums swell. The “Baby” series, which includes linden extract, will help cope with the inflammatory process. To do this, the paste is applied to a piece of gauze and the gums are lubricated with it . In this case, the baby can swallow the product without harm to health.
For children after three years of age, dentists recommend Rocs kids, and from the age of eight - Rocs school. These pastes contain aminofluoride and xylitol. Due to these funds, a dense calcium layer is formed on the surface of the teeth, which increases the teeth’s resistance to caries. Rox children's pastes have flavors that kids will love.
According to dentists' recommendations, it is not recommended to use Rocs toothpaste on a regular basis.
Paste composition
- Bromelain. An enzyme obtained from tropical plants of the Bromeliaceae family, most often from the genus Pineapple. The main task of this component is to break down the protein compounds that make up dental plaque. The enzyme has a gentle cleansing effect and remains on the teeth for a long time, preventing the appearance of new plaque.
- Xylitol. Its action is aimed at preventing the occurrence of caries . Xylitol crystals help calcium penetrate into tooth enamel and destroy pathogenic microflora in the oral cavity. Clinical studies have proven that the action of xylitol blocks the removal of minerals from tooth enamel, which leads to their accumulation. The color of tooth enamel is restored naturally and is preserved for a long time.
- A mineral complex of magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus is part of the natural composition of tooth enamel. The lack of these components affects oral health. Tooth enamel becomes sensitive to aggressive environments: acids, hot and cold foods. The mineral composition prevents tooth decay, restores the natural alkaline balance of the oral cavity and increases the resistance of tooth enamel to the aggressive effects of acids.
Keep in mind! ROCS whitening paste gently cleanses and is suitable for people with highly abrasive enamel.
The product contains mechanical cleaning particles made from low-abrasive materials.
The index of abrasive substances varies by age: for children -19, for teenagers - 45, for adults -59 units.
Composition and principle of action of Rocs toothpaste for whitening
The composition of the whitening product for home use includes:
- Bromelain. The substance is an aqueous composition of stems and unripe pineapple fruits. With its help, non-viable protein compounds of dental plaque are broken down and removed from the surface of the enamel. Removed deposits provide access for the mineral elements contained in the paste to affect the enamel. Bromelain lingers in the oral cavity for a long time.
- Xylitol. By influencing pathogenic microflora, the component reduces the risk of caries. Due to it, calcium is introduced into the tooth enamel and the pH of saliva is stabilized.
- Magnesium, phosphorus and calcium. The elements are part of the tooth enamel, which justifies their content in the paste. The more of these elements, the higher the enamel's resistance to acids.
According to clinical studies, Rox toothpaste stops the development of caries in the initial stages and prevents the release of minerals from the enamel. It does not contain highly abrasive systems. Whitening occurs due to the action of the active substance bromelain. Due to this, the use of paste does not leave scratches on the tooth enamel. To achieve the effect, it is recommended to brush your teeth with whitening paste twice a day.

Contraindications
- Intolerance to components. The instructions indicate a contraindication for people sensitive to the components of the drug. If you are hypersensitive to the bromelain enzyme, allergic reactions and nausea may occur.
- Pregnancy and lactation period. During pregnancy and lactation, the baby receives all substances directly from the mother. The composition of this series is completely natural, but plant extracts can cause allergic reactions in the expectant mother and newborn.
- Very thin tooth enamel with many chips and cracks. Such teeth must first be treated in a clinic. Of course, the manufacturer promises that the product heals small cracks and restores even thin enamel, but in advanced cases it is better to entrust the restoration to a specialist.
- Wearing braces. Whitening becomes meaningless; a large area of tooth enamel is located under arches and locks. If you whiten your teeth while wearing braces, after they are removed, the color of the enamel will be uneven and professional whitening will be required.
General rules of use
- Visit your dentist first. Remove tartar, cure individual problems, carry out professional cleaning of tooth enamel. This is important because the drug whitens all areas of tooth enamel, including tartar.
- Use a brush with medium-hard bristles or stiff bristles. The ROKS product does not have strong abrasives and is soft in structure. For better cleaning, use brushes with stiff bristles.
- Do not abuse coffee, strong tea and smoking cigarettes. Failure to follow a diet reduces the effectiveness of whitening. If you can’t give up the habit completely, then you need to at least reduce the frequency of use so that the result is impressive.
- Regular oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth 2 times a day for at least 2 minutes, morning and evening, as well as after strong tea or coffee, helps achieve the desired effect.

Reviews
Below are some customer reviews. You can leave a comment about your personal experience of use after the article, it will be very useful to our readers.
Maria, mother of 2 sons.
At school, my eldest son developed dental problems - caries. Our dentist advised us to try the ROKS “Active Calcium” series of pastes, since our son is now 11 years old and we have outgrown children’s pastes. Two months later, our doctor was pleased - not a single new hole appeared. Yes, and the taste is pleasant.
Stanislav.
I bought “Anti-tobacco” at the ROKS store. I was interested in an advertisement for the product. I have been smoking for a long time, and I constantly have problems with teeth whitening and eliminating the unpleasant odor after smoking and dry mouth. I didn’t expect the product’s advertising to be so believable. Over the last six months of use, my teeth have become whiter and less sensitive. And the breath is fresher. I'm not happy with the price, but you can pay for the quality.
Olga Vyacheslavovna, dentist at the Novostom clinic.
I have known the ROKS company for a long time and recommend its pastes to my patients. I especially highlight ROKS “Uno-calcium”, “Anti-tobacco” and “Sensational whitening”. Of course, whitening pastes cannot replace in-clinic whitening. I recommend using the selected paste after treatment for daily oral hygiene.
Oksana, Artem's mother.
My son is only 9 months old. The teeth are being cut with might and main, there are already 3 baby teeth. A month ago I bought a silicone brush for my baby at the pharmacy. The pharmacist advised me to buy ROKS “Babi” paste from 0-3 for the brush. I chose the chamomile flavor. I tried it before using it - the taste is pleasant, similar to a mixture or porridge. I was pleased that it was safe to swallow. When the child got used to the brush, I tried it and washed the teeth with gauze soaked in water after brushing. The baby was not capricious, he liked the taste. Now we just use it.
