The 30-second answer
DG (Dental Guard) is an Egyptian brand with 5 toothpastes, all 75 g, from EGP 50 to 80, each built for one need. The standout is DG White for Sensitive Teeth (EGP 80): it uses potassium nitrate, the same ingredient some Sensodyne sensitivity pastes rely on, plus fluoride and whitening in one tube. For cavities: Cavity Defense (EGP 60). For coffee and tea stains: White Activated Charcoal (EGP 55), one of the few charcoal pastes with fluoride. For daily cleaning: Fresh Mint or Fresh Clove (EGP 50).
What is DG Dental Guard?
DG is an Egyptian oral-care brand. Instead of a big range with tiny differences, it has roughly one toothpaste per common need, all the same size, so comparing them is easy.
- 5 toothpastes, all 75 g
- Prices from EGP 50 to 80
- All five packs say “Fluoride Protection”
- The Fresh and charcoal packs say “Boosted with Zinc”
The five DG toothpastes in detail

- Potassium nitrate, a well-known sensitivity ingredient
- Baking soda and micro-calcium to lift surface stains

EGP 0.7 per g · 75 g

DG compared with well-known imported brands
What matters most in a toothpaste is the active ingredient, not the brand name. This table compares each need by what well-known imported pastes rely on and what DG uses.
| Need | Imported pastes usually rely on | DG uses | DG price | DG advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tooth sensitivity | Potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride (e.g. Sensodyne) | Potassium nitrate + sodium fluoride | EGP 80 | Sensitivity care and whitening in one tube |
| Cavity protection | Fluoride | Sodium monofluorophosphate | EGP 60 | Stated fluoride at a low price |
| Surface-stain whitening | Polishing or chemical agents | Activated charcoal or baking soda | EGP 55–80 | The charcoal version contains fluoride |
| Daily clean, fresh breath | Fluoride + flavour | Mint gel or clove gel + zinc | EGP 50 | Traditional clove flavour |
Where DG competes well:
- The sensitivity paste combines potassium nitrate, fluoride and whitening, rare in one tube at this price
- The charcoal paste contains fluoride, while a scientific review of 50 charcoal pastes found only one that did
- Every paste is 75 g and EGP 50–80, so trying a new one is an easy decision
- Made in Egypt and available on Beseha with home delivery
Limits to know:
- The fluoride level (ppm) is not listed on the product pages
- Big imported brands have published clinical studies; we have not seen equivalent studies for DG
- For any ongoing dental problem, no toothpaste replaces a dentist
Charcoal toothpaste: worth it?
A 2017 review in the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) found insufficient evidence for the safety and effectiveness of charcoal toothpastes, and noted most contain no fluoride. DG White Activated Charcoal does contain sodium fluoride. Still, if whitening is your main goal and your teeth are sensitive, the sensitive version (baking soda + potassium nitrate) is the gentler choice.
How to use it right
- Brush twice a day: morning and before bed.
- Adults and children aged 3–6: a pea-sized amount. Under 3: just a smear (per the NHS).
- Spit, don’t rinse; rinsing reduces how well fluoride works (per the NHS).
- Children should brush under supervision and not swallow toothpaste.
Important safety notes
- If sensitivity is severe, worsening or painful, see a dentist; there may be decay or gum problems.
- Do not swallow toothpaste, and keep it out of reach of children.
- If any paste irritates your gums, stop and ask a pharmacist or dentist.
