This blog will help you decide the best toothpaste for your teeth.
Do You Have Sensitive Teeth?
For those amongst you with sensitive teeth that hurt when you drink or eat something very cold like an icy pole or a frozen drink, a toothpaste specifically formulated for sensitive teeth may be the best for you.
This type of toothpaste comes with ingredients that gently numb or soothe your teeth and gums so brushing your teeth doesn't have to be a painful experience! There are a few different sorts of sensitive toothpastes, so try a few and find one that works well for you!
Whitening Toothpaste
A lot of things contribute to teeth stains. Cigarettes, coffee, tea and junk food all don't help, and poor dental hygiene can also contribute to stains and decay.
A whitening toothpaste works gradually over time to help clean, shine and restore your teeth to their former glory. Remember to try and keep a healthy, balanced diet maintained!
Fluoride Free
There has been a recent surge in popularity of fluoride free dental products. These mouthwashes and toothpastes do not contain the usual active ingredient of fluoride and instead rely on other ingredients such as herbs, essential oils and other things to provide the cleaning and protection benefits that fluoride does.
However, due to lack of research and trials these dental products cannot be recommended or endorsed.
Anti-Decay Toothpaste
Anti-decay toothpaste is designed to help prevent plaque build-up and decay. Over time and without proper dental care and visits to the dentists teeth can slowly decay.
This type of toothpaste will help to slow and stop that process.
Children's Toothpaste
Some brands of children's toothpaste are coloured, flavoured and otherwise marketed to be appealing to children. It can be difficult to convince the kid to brush and floss twice a day, so a children's brand of toothpaste will help make it a lot easier for you!
Healthy for your children to use!
