Toothpaste. It
can be a tricky decision to make, as the choices are endless; sensitivity ones,
children’s toothpaste that tastes like bubblegum, whitening toothpaste. Where
do you begin? The answer is here. We have put together the ultimate guide to
toothpaste, which will make your toothpaste buying easy, appropriate for your
teeth and dare we say it, fun!
Sensitive
teeth toothpaste is the one to choose
if (yes, you guessed it!) you suffer from sensitive teeth! This means that if
you experience any sharp pain when eating hot or cold food, the ingredients in
sensitive toothpaste can help de-sensitise the nerve endings and help reduce
sensitivity. They are also designed to be gentler to the teeth and gums.
Smoker’s
toothpaste is designed to remove nicotine and tar stains from the teeth as well as
tackle bad breath, which is caused by smoking.
Children’s
toothpaste is designed to have
less fluoride as too much fluoride can cause stains on developing teeth. It is
also often flavoured differently, as kids enjoy fruity or sweet tasting
toothpastes, which helps brushing time more enjoyable for both parents and
kids!
Tartar
control toothpaste is for anyone who has a build-up
of tartar on their teeth and gums and wants to prevent any further build up.
However, although using this toothpaste may help, please make an appointment
with your dentist or hygienist to help you attend to the problem.
Teeth
whitening toothpaste. A quick warning;
before using teeth whitening toothpaste, consult your dentist as whitening
toothpastes can sometimes be too harsh for the teeth and can lead to
sensitivity.
Baking
soda toothpastes may be the choice for you if
prefer a different flavour than the typical mint toothpastes.
