How to choose toothpaste

All pastes are classified according to their spectrum of action. But 2 groups can be distinguished.

  1. Hygienic, aimed at cleansing and deodorizing the oral cavity, saturating the enamel with minerals.
  2. Treatment, in addition to cleaning the teeth, it solves specific problems. And this group has subgroups.

When choosing a paste, you need to decide on the weak links of dental health:

  • with increased sensitivity of the teeth, the pastes should contain mineral complexes, ideally fluorine;
  • for gum disease, bleeding – contain anti-inflammatory and antiseptic components that act directly on the cause of inflammation – bacteria;
  • the composition of pastes that inhibit the development of tartar and plaque includes plant enzymes, abrasives and mineral complexes;
  • anti-caries should contain mineral complexes, as well as various extractive substances, for example, grape seeds, etc .;
  • whitening toothpastes will return the original color of the enamel, clean the teeth from pigmented plaque.

The best assistant in choosing a paste will be a dentist who, after an examination, will assess the condition of the oral cavity, identify problems and offer a solution. Toothpaste is a tool that, of course, will not cure the problem, but will help to contain it and prevent the consequences.

Popular questions and answers

Choosing a toothpaste is a difficult task, because you need to take into account many aspects, from age to region of residence. For example, for some, fluorine is a salvation from caries and gum disease, while for others, for example, residents of Moscow and the region, Nizhny Novgorod, this component in the paste is not only dangerous, it is not needed. What else needs to be considered? Answers the most important questions dentist Yulia Selyutina.

Can toothpastes be dangerous?
Of course. I will give an example on children’s pastes. Parents sometimes ask: “Is it possible for babies to brush their teeth with adult toothpaste right away?”. I answer – “No”.

Children’s are specially designed taking into account the delicate and vulnerable enamel in children, as well as possible allergic reactions and irritation of the mucous membranes from the components of the paste. They should not contain aggressive abrasives, sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate are foaming agents that can dry out the mucous membrane and provoke allergic reactions.

Some pastes contain triclosan, which is not recommended for long-term use, not only for children, but also for adults. Pastes containing antiseptics are anti-inflammatory. But they are allowed to be used for no longer than two weeks, like any other means (pastes, rinses) with an antibacterial effect. Otherwise, the balance of the microflora of the oral cavity is disturbed, taste sensations are disturbed, the teeth will be covered with pigmented plaque.

How effective are whitening toothpastes?
Whitening toothpastes do not whiten in the direct sense. They only remove pigmented plaque. They contain abrasive substances, and the effect is achieved through mechanical cleaning. And the maximum that you can count on is a return to the natural shade of the teeth. I do not recommend using it on an ongoing basis, 2-3 weeks will be enough, then it is better to change to a hygienic one. I do not advise whitening pastes for people with hypersensitivity of teeth – this can only aggravate the situation. If you want a “Hollywood” smile for yourself, then I recommend that you contact your dentist and get professional whitening done.
Can toothpastes be used to treat gum disease and teeth (eg with herbs)?
It is possible for prevention purposes, but you need to know that this is not a panacea. Diseases of the oral cavity are treated comprehensively. Proper hygiene and a dentist who will draw up a treatment plan are important here. Medical pastes include anesthetics and cannot be used constantly. They are appointed by the dentist for a certain period, if indicated.
Which is better: toothpaste or tooth powder?
There is a lot of controversy about this topic among dentists. I will give my preference to the paste, because it cleans the teeth due to special components and has a wide spectrum of action, but the powder cleans only mechanically.

I am against the use of tooth powder, as it does more harm than good. With daily use, it can lead to abrasion of enamel or exacerbate tooth sensitivity. Damage dentures and implants. It also has no deodorizing effect. They are also inconvenient to use, since you need to dip a brush into it, and microbes and moisture are introduced into the common box, and this affects its quality.
