Are You Using the Right Toothpaste for Your Teeth?

Have you ever thought about the toothpaste you are using? The quality of your oral hygiene depends on your toothbrush, toothpaste, and brushing technique. If you value your smile and overall oral health, you need to take your time with these three, especially the toothpaste.

Since the market has multiple options to choose from, it can be quite challenging to identify the right paste to keep your teeth sparkling. This article explores various aspects of toothbrushing, and we are hopeful that it can help you make the right choice.

Importance of Toothpaste

Here are the top reasons for purchasing toothpaste.

  • It improves abrasion – this makes the paste more efficient at removing plaque and stuck food than water.
  • It contains fluoride, a substance known to help fight tooth decay and cavities.
  • It prevents tooth staining and discoloration.
  • It reduces the craving for snacks by refreshing the palate.

Types of Toothpaste

While choosing the right toothpaste can be a daunting task, the process is much easier than if you have a basic knowledge. Here are the common types of toothpaste available in the market.

Anti-cavity Toothpaste

Although all pastes are efficient in fighting cavities, the types that contain fluorides are the most potent. They boost mineral levels and prevent tooth decay. These are ideal for people looking to curb further decay resulting from past oral complications. For example, when you get your crown fitted by the dentist in lancaster, this type of toothpaste can help with maintenance.

Whitening Toothpaste

As the name suggests, this toothpaste is used for making teeth whiter. The main components in these are abrasive substances combined with chemicals specially made to fight tooth stains. On the downside, these pastes are not as effective as visiting the dentist in person.

Sensitive Teeth Toothpaste

If hot or cold foods make you uncomfortable, it would be best to invest in this toothpaste. Sensitive toothpaste has unique compounds like strontium chloride and potassium nitrate that strengthen your enamel and lower your sensitivity.

Usually, it takes months to start feeling the effects of sensitive teeth toothpaste. You can make the process faster by avoiding rinsing your mouth after brushing. This way, the affected tooth will have a coating with no pain.

Tartar Control Toothpaste

Tartar control toothpaste is the perfect choice for people with gum disease. The tartar-control ingredients prevent the accumulation of plaque, which is known to cause cavities.

Instead of having one antibacterial agent, tartar has zinc, pyrophosphates, and triclosan.  It is worth noting that vast accumulation of plaque often hardens and might require professional removal.

Children’s Toothpaste

Children’s teeth are not similar to adult teeth, so they often use uniquely formulated toothpaste. For instance, kids below three should not use pastes containing fluorides because swallowing can affect their teeth’ visual appearance, a condition known as fluorosis.  Regardless of age, always ensure that your youngsters brush under adult supervision.

Conclusion

If you are uncertain about the right choice of toothpaste, ask your dentist during your next appointment. They will evaluate your needs and recommend the best solution. Lastly, ensure that the local dental authority approves your choice.
