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.
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.
Positive effect
Whitening and polishing toothpaste ROCS “White Verse” has a patented formula based on the MINERALIN® complex, reinforced with special microparticles of silicon dioxide. All active components of the paste have an individual mechanism of action, providing comprehensive oral care:
- xylitol
, obtained from grain crops - has prebiotic properties, protects against bacteria that can cause caries, improves calcium absorption; - bromelain, which is a special plant enzyme that is obtained from the stems and fruits of pineapple. Bromelain carefully dissolves soft plaque, has anti-inflammatory properties, and prevents bacteria from attaching to the teeth and oral mucosa. This enzyme has been actively used in various fields of medicine for more than 30 years, the benefits and validity of its use have been proven many times;
- Calcium glycerophosphate and magnesium chloride
are mineral compounds that are friendly and related to the human body. They strengthen dentin and enamel, returning them to healthy whiteness; - microparticles of silicon dioxide - carefully remove dark stains (from cigarettes, coffee, etc.), polish the enamel, give it whiteness and a beautiful shine.
As a result of regular use, ROCS Whitening toothpaste “Blank Verse”:
- effectively removes soft and dark plaque;
- brightens tooth enamel, gives it shine;
- ensures long-term cleanliness of teeth and gums;
- eliminates inflammation and bleeding gums;
- strengthens enamel and dentin;

- does not contain fluorine;
- whitening by 3-4 tones with prolonged use;

ROCS Sensation Whitening Toothpaste
Hello!
To be honest, I treat my teeth with negligence - I visit dentists when absolutely necessary, and I also smoke, yes. At the same time, I have had NOT white teeth enamel since birth. From time to time I “rush” to pastes with a whitening effect, but the disastrous result does not take long to arrive - the enamel is “erased” and the teeth become hypersensitive to hot and cold food and drinks. However, I am one of those mice who cried, injected themselves, but continued to eat the cactus. That is, a couple of times a year I still buy whitening toothpastes.
Of course, I had heard of the ROCS brand, but I had not tried a single product from it. I got excited after reading Triplet’s review and bought my “monster” at the pharmacy for 230-240 rubles.
The black stylish box hides a rather thin tube weighing 74g. The lid is not unscrewing, but hinged.
Compound:
Colour: pale beige with lots of white granules.
Texture: not liquid gel. The granules are noticeable - they squeak on the teeth until they dissolve.
Taste: very minty, in my opinion, but does not burn the mouth.
Unfortunately, it doesn't foam much. When brushing my teeth, I can't help but feel like I didn't use enough toothpaste; and often I add another pea. By the way, the manufacturer says that the paste does not contain fluoride, so “squeeze out as much as you want.”
In terms of cleaning, I am satisfied with the toothbrush - my teeth are smooth, as if polished. I don’t feel any discomfort from morning to evening.
In terms of whitening: the manufacturer says that the results of its product will be visible after just a week of regular teeth brushing. Hmm, well, I’ll say this... I noticed the result after three weeks. You can see in the mirror that your teeth have become whiter. At the base (closer to the roots), the teeth hardly whiten, but below/above, almost over the entire surface of the tooth, whitening is visible. It’s not colossal and dazzling, it’s...ahem...average or something...
Regarding the photo: I don’t post it, yes. I'm embarrassed, yes. Because a smoker's teeth are not the most pleasant sight - this time. And in the photo the result is not as noticeable as in the mirror - that's two.
So what didn't I like about this pasta? For me there is minus one, and it is very significant. This is not an acquired hypersensitivity of tooth enamel, no. This, alas, is inflammation of the gums from regular use of the paste. In many places in the mouth, the gums swell and even bleed. Therefore, I use Sensation Whitening only by alternating with other pastes.
***
I motivate my low rating and NOT recommendation by killing my gums and not stunning whitening.
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.
