We take care of the oral cavity every day and several times. For some, this habit has been developed since childhood, while others are forced to brush their teeth for a number of other reasons, including frequent drinking of coffee or smoking. Very often, people pay special attention to toothbrushes, and the quality component of the paste is considered a secondary factor.
But this is fundamentally wrong, because both hygiene products are equally important here. And if the safety of the brush is more or less obvious, then the situation with the paste is somewhat different, because it is not possible to feel this characteristic, like the same bristles. And you have to trust the manufacturer and what he writes on the package.
High-quality and safe for he alth toothpaste will gently clean the enamel, prevent caries, gum bleeding, eliminate odor and maintain a he althy oral cavity. Mediocre products, on the contrary, will irritate the gums, remove plaque poorly and, in addition,cause allergic reactions.
Therefore, many users ask a completely natural question: “Which toothpaste is the safest and highest quality?” The choice is further complicated by the fact that on the domestic shelves there is simply a huge assortment of all kinds of hygiene products of this kind. It is very easy to get lost in all this variety, and choosing a truly safe toothpaste turns into a real quest.
And if competent consultants can give sensible advice at specialized branded points of sale, then in ordinary chain stores you have to rely only on yourself and on luck that you will get a quality product.
Let's try to find out which toothpaste is safe and what you need to pay special attention to when choosing. We also designate a list of the most popular and high-quality products - harmless and effective. For clarity, the list of safe toothpastes will be presented in the form of a rating.
Difficulties in choosing
To begin with, let's look at the types of pastes and decide what will be better in this or that case. It should be noted right away that universal options are suitable only for those who have no problems with their teeth, as well as bad habits that damage enamel. In other cases, you need to take into account some features of your oral cavity.
Fluoride pastes
The use of fluoride in toothpastes is recommended by WHO as one of the key ingredients. Upon contact with the enamel, this element is incorporated into its structure, where a kind of restoration of phosphorus and calcium takes place. Thus, the process of caries is significantly slowed down, and the teeth are strengthened.
Fluoride hygiene product can be used by almost everyone, it is a completely safe toothpaste. An exception may be regions where the content of this element is above the permissible level. In our country, this is about 10% of the entire territory. Information on the content of fluoride in drinking water can be clarified at the local sanitary and epidemiological station. If it is above the norm, then in this case, fluoride toothpastes cannot be called safe.
Calcium
Products with calcium, including for personal hygiene, are usually recommended for children. Some dentists believe that the content of this element does not affect the effectiveness of the paste, because a decent amount of calcium is contained in human saliva, and when brushing it is almost not absorbed.
However, it is generally accepted that safe children's toothpaste should always contain calcium. Because this element is very important for the growing body of the child and in any case will not be superfluous.
Soda
Dentistry experts also believe that safe toothpaste should contain baking soda. Although this element performs a purely hygienic function, without affecting the enamel in any way, it is still very useful. Especially when it comes to cleaning.
Soda does an excellent job of removing dirt and removes plaque much faster than in the case of pastes without this element. In addition, it has a whitening effect and refreshes the mouth.
Whiteningpasta
A good half of dentists believe that there are simply no safe whitening toothpastes. As such, the whitening effect has not yet been proven by anyone, and the consequences of this procedure have not been fully studied. For such cases, special strips or professional formulations are used, but not pastes. There are also some facts that speak against such hygiene products.
Aggressive abrasives contained in whitening pastes contribute to the erasure of tooth enamel, and they do not affect the gums in the best way. So it is impossible to use such products daily, and if we are talking about sensitive teeth, then it is completely contraindicated. Another thing is pastes with a whitening effect. There are no such aggressive elements, but a clearly visible effect cannot be achieved either.
Next, consider the list of the safest toothpastes, compiled taking into account the reviews and recommendations of dentists, which included not only high-quality, but also harmless hygiene products.
