Oral B Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste :
4.21 out of 5 based on 194 reviews.

As mums, we are always on the lookout for ways to take better care of ourselves and our families.

Which is why we are so excited to announce the Oral B Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste product review.

In a bid to address Australia’s oral health shortcomings, Oral B has released the NEW Oral B Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste, which features two powerful ingredients, stabilised stannous fluoride and sodium hexametaphospate.

While many toothpastes only help to remove plaque, they don’t actively control it. The unique combination of ingredients in the NEW Oral B Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste works not only to remove plaque but also inhibit plaque regrowth, helping to reduce and prevent oral health problems.

When the NEW Oral B Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste is used alongside the Oral B Clinical Mouth Rinse and an Oral B power brush twice daily, teeth will be left virtually plaque free in just two weeks.

  • Still going strong!

    You think you’d be sick of my now… But wait there’s more…
    Definitely a difference to my oral health care with using this tooth paste, it does provide a great protection for the gums and not really sure if your supposed to use with your kids but we put a little dollop on the tooth brush and away they go. They also like the taste, not to bitter like some.

  • Great toothpaste

    My husband and I changed over to oral b clinical gum protection toothpaste and we haven’t looked back. This leaves our mouths so much fresher then any other brand. We have been using it over 6 months and will continue using it. Highly recommend any one to try it for themselves and I’m sure they won’t change back to their old toothpaste.

  • Awesome! Fantastic! Smooth!

    Being pregnant it feels like my teeth are worse off than they really are. Getting tooth aches and pains and feeling like I need something new. I am happy that I still have Oral B Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste that I can use to give my teeth that special something when I think everything is failing. Thanks for the support and the wonderful taste I have in my mouth each day.

  • Still using this

    I managed to get selected to review this products a few months ago. Since then I haven’t used anything else as the oral b clinical gum protection toothpaste has made a huge difference to my mouth. It leaves my mouth so much fresher and for longer. My teeth and gums feel so much better since starting this.

  • Dentist - Check Up - Awesome

    Been to the dentist for a check up and she is glad that I am using such an awesome tooth paste, lots of positive feed back from her and with me trialling this tooth paste for quite some time I think its very positive. Have quite a fan club now with my mother’s group trialling the tooth paste with good results as well.

    I have been using this toothpaste for the last few months. It leaves the mouth feeling so much more fresh and breath stays nice for much longer. I am glad I received this as a trial as i have always been one to stay with the same product. I even managed to get hubby to change over.

  • I was so surprised by this!

    I never believe the hype when it comes to television advertisements for products. Particularly when it is for an oral health/ dental product. I inevitably find that the product always falls short of the expectation and to be honest, I expected that to be the case here too. So I was extremely surprised, when after the very first use, my entire mouth felt so clean! I truly felt a difference immediately! I have very soft gums and extremely sensitive teeth, so it is very difficult to find a product that doesn’t cause pain and bleeding. But I absolutely LOVE this product! It tastes great, it doesn’t leave a gritty after texture on your teeth and tongue, it freshens your breath for much longer than you’d expect it to, and it doesn’t burn horrendously! I just tried the toothpaste with my usual toothbrush, but now that I’ve fallen in love with the toothpaste, I’ll definitely be seeking a brush and mouth wash to go with it! I usually hate people who extol the virtues of their toothpaste et al, but this is truly a remarkable product. I really do recommend it. 🙂

  • Our toothpaste

    Hubby was always set in the brand of toothpaste he would use until one day I purchased the oral b clinical one. After hearing me rave about it and seeing the difference it made to my teeth and gums he decided to give it ago and now it’s all we buy. I had very sore gums due to pregnacy and after trying this oral b range is saw a great difference. We highly recommend it.

  • I love it

    I am on my 4th tube, I absolutely love this toothpaste & really feel like it is working & freshening my breath. I have only had 1 lid crack in my 4 tubes so I guess I’ve been lucky. If I could afford it I would by cases of this stuff. I even feel like I wake up with fresh breath after brushing the night before. Thank you!

  • Definitely Noticing a Difference!

    It’s my wife that got me hooked on Oral B Clinical Gum Protection Tooth Paste, she was selected at part of the review team and lucky for me I got to trial it too. At first I thought the minty taste burnt my mouth but as you use it more, each day I became use to the taste. This product has helped my teeth become less sensitive and remove that unwanted plaque. It is definitely noticeable now and am loving it!

  • Oral B Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste is Fantastic

    WOW – What a difference my smile is, considering how bad my teeth are due to medications I am on. The medications are ruining my teeth so they just fall out. It is so embarrassing seeing my dentist, each time another tooth needs to come out. Using Oral B Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste gives my teeth a smile that I didn’t expect.

    I have a great deal of teeth missing but the teeth I have left, felt so clean for the first time ever. I will be buying it more often.

    I was a Macleans girl, but have started using Oral B after grabbing it on special at our local Supermarket. This product is really great, it feels like my teeth are clean and I really like the taste. I am now a huge Oral B advocate!! They are always innovative and their product is trustworthy.

  • Fresh and happy mouth

    My whole mouth feels so clean and fresh after using this. I have been using a manual toothbrush for ages now after my electric died, so when I started using this system, it was like my teeth were brand new. I even noticed my tongue was cleaner and the taste in my mouth was fresher. I won’t be going back to a manual toothbrush anytime soon – it just feels too good!

  • Not sure...

    I must admit, I am in two minds about Oral B Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste.
    While my teeth feel cleaner and smoother, I’m not at all sure they are whiter and shinier.
    Perhaps if I used the toothbrush and rinse, I might notice more of an effect.
    The toothpaste itself is a little gritter to what I’m used to and the smell is most definitely clinclialy fresh.

  • better than it used to be

    i used to use oral b but then switched back to colgate. when i saw all the ads for this new version from oral b, i thought i might give it a go. i think that the taste of it is ok and it cleans effectively. I will be taking the 2 week challenge again with this and see if it is still a winner.

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • A great compilation of tips for the new parent (and good reminders for even the seasoned parent!)
    Dry, clean and comfy makes for a happy baby. And remembering that a baby’s skin is so very delicate, so it’s good to be picky about what you put on or near their skin. Enjoy your sweet babies!

  • All really good tips. I’m a big believer in not letting them sit in wet nappies for long. Even the most absorbent nappies are resting against their delicate skin and need changing. I’m also a big sudocrem fan. A thin layer applied to irritated skin does wonders. It’s natural for them to have nappy irritations but we can only do our best to avoid it

  • Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!

  • My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

    Reply

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

    Reply

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

    Reply

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

    Reply

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
