Toothpaste Comparisons & What Type Is Right For You

8th October 2018, 12:31pm EST

Finding the right toothpaste for your teeth cleaning practices is fairly difficult due to the wide array of dental hygiene products on the market. However, we’re providing some helpful insight as to what toothpaste will work in regard to the results you’ve been looking for. With this being said, here’s a look at different toothpaste ingredients and what they can do for your teeth.

Toothpaste Ingredients

With toothpastes serving many different uses to enhance your smile, it’s important to know which ones offer the assistence you’re looking for. Here’s a look at common selling points toothpastes provide in regards to a customer’s smile.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening toothpaste brings forward the idea that it’ll make your teeth whiter. However, many of these toothpastes do not have an active bleach ingredient… which only remove stains from the teeth.

Child Toothpaste

Child toothpaste comes in colorful flavors with a lower count of flouride. As these toothpastes are still effective for nurturing young smiles, the low flouride count is mainly due to children (accidentally) swallowing the toothpaste.

Sensitive Teeth

Toothpaste for sensitive teeth is legitimate method of cleaning according to the ADA. Although sensitive toothpaste is made to minimize sensitivity of the teeth, it shouldn’t be used as an alternative to combat major issues as tooth decay.

Enamel Protection & Tartar Control

Tartar control removes excess tartar buildup on the teeth. Enamel protection applies a coat of flouride to protect your enamel.

Natural Toothpaste

Natural toothpaste is normally made of natural product, but many come without flouride as an ingredient. With flouride being very important for tooth cleaning, experts agree that natural toothpaste may not be as effective as it seems.

In consideration of the information above, it’s important that you find the right toothpaste for your smile. Since your smile is important for first impressions, make sure you make the right choice and put your best foot forward.
