Colgate Duraphat is a pharmaceutical-grade, high-fluoride toothpaste designed specifically for the prevention of dental caries in adolescents and adults at high risk of tooth decay. It contains 5000 ppm of fluoride, which is significantly higher than standard over-the-counter toothpastes, making it a prescription-only or pharmacist-dispensed product in many jurisdictions.
The brand originated under the Colgate name, which was founded by William Colgate in New York City in the early 19th century. Over decades, Colgate-Palmolive has expanded its professional oral care line to include therapeutic products like Duraphat. While the brand has its roots in the United States, Duraphat is manufactured in various specialized pharmaceutical facilities across Europe and North America to meet regional regulatory standards.
Today, the brand is owned by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, a global leader in oral hygiene and consumer products. Based in the United States, the company operates a massive international network, distributing Duraphat through medical and dental professional channels globally. In local markets, it is typically managed by regional subsidiaries such as Colgate-Palmolive Services (UK) Ltd or similar entities depending on the country of sale.
