Oral hygiene is absolutely necessary when addressing the problem of chronic halitosis or bad breath, not just that, it is also a vital part of our activities of daily living. Many people neglect their oral hygiene yet sad to say, it will sooner wreak havoc. When it comes to selection of toothpaste, there are so many options available in the market. There are special toothpastes with claims of whitening, enamel strengthening, breath freshening, fighting gingivitis and so on So how can you choose the right toothpaste to stop bad breath? And does such a product even exist? Will all toothpastes do the trick, or does one seem to work better than others?
With so many choices how do people decide which type of toothpaste is right for them? One-way to decide which toothpaste is right for them is to ask at your next dental visit. Your dentist can tell you based on your dental history which type of toothpaste would be best suited for your dental healthy. Now we narrow down the attributes in choosing a good toothpaste.
Toothpaste is generally composed of: 75% humectants and water, 20% abrasive, 2% foaming and flavoring agents, 2% pH buffers, 1.5% coloring agents, binders, and pacifiers, 24% fluoride. Brushing with toothpaste particularly a toothpaste with fluoride helps to accomplish in removing plaque, resisting decay, promoting re-mineralization, cleaning and polishing teeth, removing teeth stains, freshening breath.
If you have sensitive teeth, desensitizing toothpaste should be used as the key ingredient, strontium chloride or potassium nitrate protects the tubules in the teeth that are connected to the nerves. Premium Super Soft Toothbrush is one of the most effective and highly recommended toothbrushes by dentists as it thoroughly removes plaque and tartar and does not cause hypersensitivity to the teeth. It also does not abrade the teeth’s surfaces because of its fine, soft bristles which are made especially for delicate teeth.
In tartar-control toothpaste, the key ingredient is sodium pyrophosphate. This type of toothpaste will not remove tarter but only keep it from forming above the gum line. Prolonged use of this type of toothpaste may cause sensitivity in some people.
In an antimicrobial toothpaste, the key ingredient is triclosan which is an antibacterial agent. This type of toothpaste is supposed to remove bacteria that can cause gum disease but it will not remove existing tartar.
In baking soda-based toothpastes, the key ingredient is baking soda. Baking soda is a mild abrasive and may cause gum irritation after prolonged use. The only benefit to this type of toothpaste is that it leaves you with a fresh feeling in your mouth which can be an incentive to brush longer.
Whitening toothpastes contain abrasive ingredients that lighten teeth. These ingredients may cause gum irritation and sensitivity to teeth. They are also not as effective as the bleaching kits found in your dentist’s office.
And now we finally completed our mind; it’s not really about the brand, fantastic advertisement and whatever is pasted on the toothpaste box. It really pays to check the label. While caring for your oral health is absolutely important, buying a good toothpaste alone is not enough. You have to follow proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain good oral hygiene. Along with good toothpaste, also choose good floss, mouth rinses, brushes etc to maintain over all oral health.
