We now know that brushing our teeth twice a day is essential for maintaining oral hygiene and for the longevity and health of our teeth and gums. And while there are multiple types of brushes available in the market, you might be surprised to know that there are many types of toothpaste as well.
Because there are multiple choices from which you can decide the kind of toothpaste you want, for families, it is essential to check what kind is required. Given that there are so many options to choose from, here is a list of the different types of toothpaste and their respective benefits.
Fluoride Toothpaste
Fluoride can be found in most types of toothpaste. It is the substance that reinforces the enamel of the teeth, making it harder to get cavities and even reverse tooth decay in some cases. Fluoride toothpaste is also excellent at killing bacteria in the mouth.
Whitening Toothpaste
Toothpaste that whitens teeth may contain some substances that remove stains from the teeth. From lighter materials such as baking soda to some more potent, harsher chemicals like hydrogen peroxide. It is thus essential to use whitening toothpaste with caution since strong chemicals may damage teeth permanently.
Sensitivity Toothpaste
For many people, gum and tooth sensitivity can be a problem that holds them back from enjoying their favorite foods. Those of you who may themselves or have a family member that experiences a sharp pain when consuming something hot like tea or cold like ice-cream, then you will benefit from sensitivity toothpaste.
These work by blocking the nerves to the teeth that produce these sensations as they come with certain substances like pastes or gels.
Bacteria Protection Toothpaste
There are a variety of bacteria or plaque that is present in the mouth at any given time. These cause the build-up of tartar in the mouth, which cannot be removed by brushing alone. If not removed via flossing or dentist, this may cause gingivitis or gum disease.
Toothpaste that ensures the protection of the teeth from these problems have the following in them; pyrophosphates, zinc citrate, and fluoride. Bacteria protection toothpaste can also be quite useful to control and curb bad breath.
Herbal Toothpaste
Unlike some of the other toothpaste, the organic herbal toothpaste contains no harsh chemicals whatsoever. These toothpastes can thus be used instead of others to ensure that your oral hygiene is
maintained using all-natural ingredients that do not cause harm during long-term exposure.
Children's Toothpaste
Unlike some of the other toothpaste discussed in this article, children's toothpaste is safe to ingest as it is free from most of the chemicals mentioned above. They also contain lesser concentrations of fluoride and other agents, as developing teeth may be stained by repeated exposure to harsh chemicals.
