Watch Our Welcome Video The more you know about toothpaste, the better. In fact, if you know the details about this oral hygiene tool, you can choose the right product for your smile as well as have a safer oral hygiene routine. So, our dentist, Dr. Amir Nikraz, is happy to teach you all about toothpaste by sharing some toothpaste facts. Those facts are:
-It’s strongly recommended to use fluoride toothpaste when you brush. This is because the fluoride strengthens the tooth enamel and helps you prevent cavity development.
-Whitening and tartar-control toothpaste can irritate your gums if you’re not careful. This can cause gum recession and can even promote tooth sensitivity. It’s best to avoid using these pastes if you have sensitive oral tissues.
-It’s recommended to avoid rinsing with water immediately after you brush. This is because if you keep the paste on your teeth, the fluoride has more time to strengthen the enamel.
-Children shouldn’t use the same toothpaste as adults. In fact, they should use non-fluoride, children’s toothpaste until they are at least 3 years old.
-The first toothpaste recipe was written by an Egyptian scribe back in the 4th Century AD.
