What to check before you buy
Compare tubes of the same weight. Many brands now sell 120g or 130g tubes that look like 140g.
Look for fluoride on the label for cavity protection, especially for children.
Sensodyne comes in 75ml and 100g tubes, so compare it per gram, not per tube.
Check the NAFDAC number and seal. Fake Close-Up and Oral-B are sold in open markets.
Buying toothpaste brands in bulk?
Tell suppliers the brand, quantity and delivery location. Compare real Quotes or Offers through Finelib Match.
