Are you using the right Toothpaste?

-


I know you are all doubtful about which toothpaste you need to 

pick up especially when there are so many options available in the market from

herbal to chemical based or Sensitivity toothpaste to Teeth-whitening  

toothpaste? Let me make it easy for you to decide!


I have only one answer for all your question!

     “ USE THE ONE WHICH CONTAINS FLUORIDE !!”



     Why is Fluoride so important?
    Toothpaste containing fluoride help prevent cavities in both children and adults. To help strengthen weakly spots and exposed roots, and to help prevent the early stages of tooth decay, brush regularly with a fluoridated toothpaste.
     The common fluoride used in the toothpaste can be

  • Sodium fluoride.
  • Stannous fluoride.
  • Sodium monofluorophosphate.
  • Amine fluoride

Amount of fluoride to be present in a toothpaste?

Toothpastes containing 1,350 to 1,500ppm fluoride are the most effective.

  • Children under 3 years old should brush twice daily, with a smear of toothpaste containing at least 1,000ppm fluoride.
  • Children between 3 and 6 years old should brush at least twice daily with a pea-sized amount of toothpaste containing more than 1,000ppm fluoride. 
  • Adults should brush at least twice daily with a toothpaste containing 1,350-1,500ppm fluoride. 

 How would you know if your toothpaste contains fluoride or not?


     You can always check in the content section if your toothpaste has any of these also all the toothpaste which is FDA Approved contain Fluoride.

     So, Can only using fluoride toothpaste would solve all your cavity issues? 
     The answer is no NO!

     Toothpaste is only a means to an end. If you buy it and then are lazy about brushing your teeth, it won’t help.No matter which toothpaste you choose, it won’t help unless you’re serious about brushing your teeth and use the proper method of toothbrushing. So folks, No more shortcuts for that vibrant looking healthy smile!😁

  Source Ayurvedic toothpaste...Are they worth it? We Indians are crazy about anything ayurvedic or ‘’Herbal’’ As you call it! Let me ask you this question… Why do you even prefer an ‘Ayurvedic’ product? We often buy Ayurvedic or Herbal products because we think of them as being 'Chemical-free' or 'safe' Any product with its contents within the permissible limits is always safe hence it's actually approved by respective authorities such as FDA or IDA I had a lot of my patients asking me whether they can use ayurvedic toothpaste and if they are as effective as one of those conventional toothpastes in the market …Let’s discuss this in little detail. Ayurvedic toothpaste may have all its ayurvedic ingredients such as Neem, Lavang oil, Vaividang, Bakul, Honey, Amla, pomegranate, Triphala, pineapple, Papaya, menthol…etc. Well, the conventional toothpaste is made up of a few basic ingredients or 'chemicals' which provides them with consistency and textur...
