Toothpaste has become an inseparable part of daily routine, so it is better to know which one is better and know how to choose the best toothpaste.
There are liquid, jelly, and dough toothpaste in terms of appearance, but there is more to know apart from the color and shaped of tubes. In addition to its therapeutic properties, toothpaste can be the easiest and cheapest way to have whiter teeth.
According to dentists, good toothpaste should contain fluoride between 1300 and 1500 ppm. Fluoride is a natural mineral that protects tooth enamel and prevents tooth decay. Of course, it must be noted that adult toothpaste is not recommended for children (due to its high fluoride content). Swallowing it for children every time they brush their teeth causes poisoning and white spots on the child's teeth. Choose the right toothpaste for children.
Don't forget to visit the dentist several times a year because this will make you aware of your oral health problems and you can choose the best toothpaste with the help of your doctor.
The best whitening toothpaste:
Whitening toothpastes contain whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide, which remove the outer layer stains on tooth enamel and reveal the whiter underlying layer. Dentists use stronger hydrogen peroxide formula in professional teeth whitening at dental clinics to remove deeper stains and discolorations on your teeth.
Using herbal whitening toothpaste (extracts of aromatic plants such as pineapple, mint, and papaya) is a good choice if you don’t want chemicals. However, they may not be as effective to whiten your teeth. Of course, chemical toothpastes containing standard fluoride and peroxides are the best options for teeth whitening and for having brighter smile.
Summary:
As mentioned, it is better to get help from a dentist to buy good toothpaste because our teeth may be sensitive. In the case of whitening toothpastes, some of them may contain strong whitening and abrasive agents. We should be careful not to use them continuously and daily because over time they cause damage to tooth enamel.
