6 tips to help you choose the perfect toothpaste


Strong and beautiful teeth are every person’s dream. That is why special attention should be paid to proper oral hygiene. Toothpaste is an integral part of daily dental and gum care. It can not only maintain oral health, but also reduce the manifestations of various dental diseases. And today we will tell you everything about toothpastes, how to choose, what to look for in the composition, where to buy them.

How many of us buy toothpaste? They make a shopping list, go to the hypermarket and take the first one they come across. If this sounds like you, then most likely you underestimate the role of toothpaste in your health. A good toothpaste protects against caries, ensures that teeth do not lose minerals, and most importantly, does not harm the enamel.

In this article we will analyze in detail the compositions of modern toothpastes and tell you how to choose the right toothpaste.

Tip No. 1: calculate harmful components

Only a few of us have received medical education and have an idea of ​​what is “mixed” into our daily oral and body care products. This applies not only to toothpastes, but also to the entire arsenal of drugs (shampoos, creams, etc.). But you always need to strive for perfection, and if you don’t at least know thoroughly all the nuances of production, then have an idea about them.


The content of harmful substances should be kept to a minimum

A good toothpaste should effectively remove food debris and fight various types of bacteria. It is also good if it helps to normalize the balance of microflora in the oral cavity, strengthen enamel, create conditions for the prevention of caries and gum disease, get rid of unpleasant odors and give fresh breath.

To provide all these positive properties, manufacturers add various active ingredients to the composition. But they must be as safe as possible, natural, and contain a minimum of harmful substances:

  • lauryl sulfate and propylene glycol (PEG): components are almost irreplaceable in any hygiene product, as they contribute to the formation of thick foam and the destruction of dirt. But in large dosages they cause allergies, manifested by unbearable itching. They can also provoke inflammation of the gums and periodontal tissues (periodontitis and periodontal disease). In addition, the substances are extremely toxic, dry out the mucous membranes, and are hazardous to health,


    Periodontitis and periodontal disease

  • parabens: the best toothpaste should not be stored for more than 12 months from the date of production (and this is the maximum). Otherwise, it contains a lot of parabens. These substances increase its shelf life, but are not excreted, but accumulate in the body and even provoke the development of cancerous tumors,
  • triclosan, metronidazole: these are antibiotics and their use is justified only in the presence of acute inflammatory processes in the mouth. However, such components are often included in regular pastes and therefore many do not even suspect that their use should only be carried out under the strict supervision of the attending physician. As a last resort, you can use pastes in courses, no longer than one month in a row. Otherwise, you risk getting complications in your internal organs. For example, on the lungs, kidneys, liver. And there is also a risk of “exterminating” not only all harmful, but also beneficial microflora in the mouth.

On a note!

Sodium lauryl sulfate, for example, contains most of the well-known and advertised pastes, such as Blend-a-med, Colgate, Oral-B, Forest Balsam, New Pearl.

Toothpastes - how to choose the right one

A good oral care product should not only be effective, but also be as safe as possible. Some manufacturers saturate their products with components, a high concentration of which can cause serious harm to human health in general.

Products based on plant components do not contain harsh chemicals and provide gentle cleansing. Essential oils and extracts of medicinal plants must be supplemented with surfactants (surfactants) - without them, high-quality cleansing is impossible. It’s another matter if the surfactants themselves are of a plant nature, and then we can confidently call the product completely natural. This is a good choice for children as well as adults!

Criterias of choice:

  1. A type of pasta.

As mentioned above, you need to choose a product based on individual needs and indications. If there are no problems with your teeth and gums, a prophylactic paste would be the best option. If there are problems with the enamel or the condition of the mucous membrane, it is worth considering treatment and preventive options. But in this case, you must first consult a dentist.

  1. Ingredients included.

Be sure to read the ingredients carefully before purchasing. If there are allergy sufferers in the family, it is important to make sure that there are no components that can provoke allergic reactions.

  1. Degree of abrasiveness

The presence of abrasive particles ensures high-quality mechanical cleaning of plaque and allows you to return your teeth to their natural whiteness. On the other hand, too long exposure of this kind leads to injury to the enamel, its thinning and hyperesthesia.

  1. Taste and smell

As for taste and smell, these criteria are left to the discretion of the user. Sometimes a too strong taste can cause unpleasant sensations or even gag reflexes - this also needs to be taken into account.

Such toothpastes have the ability to eliminate pathogenic bacteria and freshen breath. Prevents the appearance of plaque and tartar.

36.3% anti-caries effect - 36.3%, cleansing effect - 63.6%, anti-inflammatory effect - 37.5%.

Children's toothpastes

Children's teeth are especially susceptible to tooth decay because tooth enamel is not yet as strong as that of adults. In addition, caries of primary teeth has a direct impact on molars.

Children's toothpaste should not contain fluoride and its derivatives! According to statistics, about 30% of toothpaste is swallowed by young children while brushing their teeth, so children's oral care products should be as safe as possible.

Children are allowed to use adult toothpastes from the age of 14; until this time, parents must buy special children's products.

Tip #2: pay attention to abrasives

Everyone knows that without abrasives, an adult paste will simply be inferior, because then it will not be able to cope with the plaque that forms on our teeth every day. By the way, on packages this indicator is usually indicated by the abbreviation RDA.

Please also note that the abrasives in toothpastes are different:

  • calcium carbonate: the most common. These are quite large particles, they roughly remove plaque, but in no way have a remineralizing and restorative effect on the enamel,
  • Aluminum oxide: the drug is prohibited in the European Union and the USA due to its harmfulness. It often leads to the formation of inflammation and ulcers in the mouth due to its aggressive component. It has also been proven that high levels of this substance in the body enhance skeletal abnormalities, disrupt the metabolism of phosphorus and calcium, slow down metabolism, cause osteoporosis of the bone structure,
  • silicon oxide: the most preferred composition, it is finely dispersed and does not have a negative effect on the enamel.


Children should use children's toothpaste.
Another tip: never use the same toothpaste for all family members. It is not suitable for children, because the adult composition can be harmful to children’s fragile enamel; people with sensitive teeth should also be careful. The permissible number of abrasives for children is 20-30 RDA. For adults with healthy teeth - up to 100 RDA, for sensitive enamel - no more than 60. For smokers and those who want to whiten their shade - 120-150 RDA. The same paste cannot provide the same effect to everyone.

What toothpastes should people with sensitive teeth choose?

Sensitivity occurs where a gap forms in the enamel, causing the inner layer of the tooth - dentin - to become uncovered, which causes pain from sour and cold things. Pastes for sensitive teeth are also divided into two types: those that coat the teeth with a protective coating (usually due to substances such as strontium, arginine, NovaMin), and potassium-based pastes (usually potassium nitrate or citrate), which gradually act on nerve endings and dull pain.

Potassium-based pastes have a cumulative effect, while “instant action” pastes for sensitive teeth give the desired result quickly, but their effect is short-lived.

Marina Kuznetsova warns:

If you use a whitening toothpaste (especially an abrasive one) after a toothpaste for sensitive teeth, the entire effect will be negated and the sensitivity will return.

Tip #3: Fluoride is not always beneficial

Some people mistakenly believe that which toothpaste is better can be determined by the high fluoride content in its composition. Indeed, the element is extremely important, since without it, proper calcium metabolism in the body is simply impossible. In addition, it helps strengthen the enamel, and recent studies have proven that the component reduces the risk of developing caries by 30-40%.

However, fluorine is toxic and is completely unsuitable for those who live in regions where the water and soil are saturated with it - the Moscow region, Nizhny Novgorod, Sverdlovsk, Tver, Tomsk regions. The microelement, or rather its excess, can provoke various diseases and cause extremely unattractive fluorosis on the teeth.


The photo shows dental fluorosis

As for the concentration, it should not exceed 1500 ppm in pastes for adults, and 500 for school-age children. For children under 5-6 years old, it is better to exclude this component altogether, because it is quite toxic if swallowed.

The best pastes, according to dentists

There is also a better toothpaste, according to dentists, the rating is presented below.

Lakalut

It ranks first in the ranking. The paste is antibacterial and can be used for both prevention and treatment purposes. Contains lactic acid, which allows you to achieve an anti-inflammatory effect.

Splat Lavandasept

In the control purchase category, the pasta took first place. Most dentists believe that it is beneficial for the gums, especially if they are sensitive, and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.


Effective toothpaste

Despite the fact that the composition contains whitening components, their effect is gentle, thanks to this it is possible to maintain the integrity of the dental coating. The cost of the product is high, but the result lives up to expectations.

Rocks

It ranks second in the top quality brands, the results were confirmed by a test purchase. It contains ingredients of natural origin, so the paste is the safest and many people prefer it.

The products manufactured by this company are of high quality. Vitamin E is also present in the composition; it preserves the integrity of tooth enamel.

Apadent


Paste recommended by many dentists

The best toothpaste with a healing effect. Containing nano-hydraxyapatite, the substance strengthens tooth enamel and prevents its destruction.

Numerous studies confirm the fact that in addition to its therapeutic effect, the paste has a filling effect and relieves the inflammatory process. Recommended for use in case of periodontal disease.

Tip #4: use the paste according to the situation

It is quite difficult to answer unequivocally the question of which toothpaste is best to use. After all, everyone is looking for exactly what suits them. For example, one person needs to whiten enamel at a given time. For gentle whitening, there are worthy representatives with a high content of abrasive substances that will effectively solve the problem of yellow enamel even in smokers. Among the leaders approved by experts were Colgate and Silca, which really give a brightening effect.


For each problem, select the appropriate paste

However, their composition is completely unsuitable for people with hypersensitive teeth who need to strengthen the enamel. The drug will also harm those who are trying to stop the development of gingivitis and get rid of bleeding gums.

If you are trying to whiten your teeth at home using toothpastes, then remember: no home whitening will be as effective as a procedure in the dental chair. As for safety, keep in mind that hydrogen peroxide and abrasives (both in pastes and in natural products: coal, soda, salt, lemon) in excessive quantities have a traumatic effect on the enamel, as a result of which it becomes thinner and becomes sensitive to temperature changes , to attack by bacteria. And enamel that has undergone such whitening requires remineralizing procedures.

Different pastes are suitable for different purposes. But remember that you cannot become attached to any one brand for a long time, even if it is the best toothpaste for you: change it once every three months so as not to become addictive. As for whitening and medicinal pastes, try to use them only after consultation with your dentist and for no longer than three weeks in a row.

What's most important about pasta?

It is worth noting that it is not so much the toothpaste that is important, but the brushing itself – thorough and regular.
Everyone knows that after eating, especially those containing sugar, plaque forms on the tooth enamel. It contains acids that over time corrode the enamel, causing pores to appear in it, into which microbes rush. As a result, caries forms. Therefore, first of all, the paste must remove plaque well and neutralize these acids. A sign of a paste that removes plaque well is its ability to foam profusely. – Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) provides rich foam and a squeaky clean teeth feeling, but it is believed that it may be harmful to health, although there is no conclusive evidence of its harm. On many pastes, the fact that they do not contain this compound is indicated as a plus. Sodium bicarbonate is also good at destroying plaque, which has a salty taste and increases salivation, which promotes self-cleaning of teeth, and also neutralizes the acidic environment for a long time, explains Marina Kuznetsova.

Tip #5: shop at the pharmacy

No one is safe from buying a fake, but the risk of getting a low-quality product increases significantly if you do it in markets or in underground passages, or purchase goods from distributors.


It is better to buy toothpaste at a pharmacy

It is better to contact pharmacy chains, because they employ pharmacists and pharmacists who are directly responsible for the quality of the received product, its certification, expiration dates and storage conditions.

In relation to this point, it would be fair to mention which toothpaste is the best. This is the one that has the original composition declared by the real manufacturer, and complies with GOSTs and general technical conditions: 7983-99 and 29188.0. For example, like some of the drugs presented in the table below1.

IndexQuality rating "excellent"Quality rating "good"Quality rating "satisfactory"
Color, aroma, consistencySensodyne, Splat, Lacalut sensitive for sensitive teeth and gums.All pastes are Lacalut, Durodont 5, Dent & Healsh, Biocon.Products from the brands “Forest Balsam”, “New Pearl”, “Ftorodent”.
Acidity of the composition and its effect on teethSensodyne, Splat, Biotene, Durodont 5, Dent & Health, Biocon.Lacalut, Forest Balsam, Pearl, New Pearl."Lesnaya", "Ftorodent".

Moreover, price is not at all an indicator of quality; a product may turn out to be good and at the same time cost mere trifles, or it may be expensive and not at all correspond to the declared characteristics.

SPLAT Professional Biocalcium

pros

  • Big tube
  • Cleans well
  • No discomfort when cleaning
  • Refreshes

Minuses

  • Not everyone will like the minty flavor.

From 54 ₽

The top of the toothpastes opens with a complex product with calcium from eggshells. Well restores damaged enamel and reduces tooth sensitivity. Special components in the composition effectively break down plaque, keeping your breath fresh for a long time. Other components also prevent the formation of tartar.

Tip No. 6: “homemade” formulations are quite suitable for the prevention of diseases of teeth and gums

According to statistics, consumer choice is influenced by the smell, color, packaging and taste of the product, but not by its quality characteristics. At the same time, no more than 10% of the formulations sold in stores can truly boast of the status of “environmentally friendly and healthy product.” Take, for example, the fact that preservatives are no longer necessary to store them.

Even toothpastes “rich” in minerals and natural plant extracts, which are quite good and tested by consumers, contain harmful substances to one degree or another. For example, Lacalut, Splat, President, ROCS. Therefore, some rightly believe that the best toothpaste is the one you make yourself.


Homemade toothpaste should always be fresh

For home care of teeth and gums, sage, chamomile, mint, tea tree oil, honey, and birch bark are suitable. According to reviews, users use them to cleanse the oral cavity in different compositions and concentrations; which toothpastes are better, everyone here determines for himself.

However, it is worth remembering one rule: good “homemade” toothpaste should always be fresh, and it should be prepared daily. Otherwise, you may not only not be beneficial, but also harm the body. And it’s not a fact that without adding abrasive particles you will be able to get rid of plaque.

According to the portal’s editors, this advice should not be abused. And homemade formulations are best used not as an independent element of care, but in combination with other daily hygiene products: toothpaste selected based on the condition of your teeth and gums together with the dentist, mouth rinse, irrigator and floss, and a properly selected toothbrush.

If you are still thinking about which toothpaste is best, then immediately go to see a dentist, he will examine your oral cavity and will definitely help you with advice.

prevention

  1. According to independent studies.

Are anti-inflammatory ingredients necessary?

We will omit chamomile and medicinal herbs, since their effect is rather psychological, and will list triclosan, chlorhexidine, stannous fluoride and other components that have an anti-inflammatory effect. Marina Kuznetsova notes that a person who does not have inflammation of the gums (it can be suspected if they are bleeding) does not need anti-inflammatory paste (because some substances kill not only microbes, but also disrupt the natural microflora), and if the problems already Yes, you need to go to the dentist first.

– It is very important to remove the very cause of problems with gums, and then use special pastes and rinses - then there will be an effect. If a person simply uses a paste with anti-inflammatory substances, then the symptoms will gradually begin to subside, but then the bacteria will cause them again, and a vicious circle will result: the pathogens will “get used” to these anti-inflammatory components, acquire resistance to them, and the paste will be powerless - the doctor summarizes.

Which release form is better: paste, gel or powder?

Teeth cleaning products are available in three forms:

  1. Gel.
  2. Toothpaste.
  3. Dentifrice.

Gel

Product with the least abrasiveness. This is both a plus and a minus. The positive thing is that it damages the enamel the least. The downside is that it removes plaque and food debris worse. Therefore it is recommended only in certain cases:

  • Children who have just erupted their baby teeth.
  • People with increased enamel sensitivity.
  • For those who have high abrasion of hard tissues.

Special medicinal gels are used in dentistry. Their viscous texture allows for application with medicines. The composition of the gels may vary. Depends on the purpose of use: therapeutic or prophylactic agents.

Toothpaste

The most common remedy for maintaining oral hygiene and dental health. There are several reasons for this popularity:

  1. Ease of use.
  2. Variety of species.
  3. Economical consumption.

Dentifrice

Prized for its best whitening properties. And this is not surprising, because 98% of the composition is mineral chalk. It polishes the enamel to a shine and copes with even the most difficult stains.

Tooth powder should be used carefully. If used frequently, it can damage the enamel. It is better to carry out the procedure no more than 1-2 times a week.

It is difficult to say unequivocally which teeth cleaning product is better: gel, powder or paste. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is better to seek advice from a dentist. But there are several “tips” that will help you make a choice:

  1. Tooth powder will help those who often drink coffee, tea and smoke. It contains many cleaning components that remove dirt. But it is recommended to use it no more than twice a week.
  2. The structure of the gel includes substances that dissolve plaque. Silicon dioxide is mainly used for these purposes. Cleansing properties are low. Most often, gels are used for children.
  3. Toothpaste is a universal remedy. Available in different forms, with different compositions and for different purposes.

When choosing a toothpaste, pay attention to the type of abrasive. The best of them is silicon dioxide.

Natural Teeth Cleaning Products

There is not a single toothpaste on the shelves of stores and pharmacies that can be called completely safe. Only 10% of products fully correspond to the term “environmentally friendly product”, although they also contain preservatives that ensure a long shelf life. How to get out of this situation without harming your health?

This is important to know!

Natural teeth cleaning products are not inferior to commercial toothpastes in terms of effectiveness, but they need to be prepared quite often. By mixing the necessary substances, each person is able to obtain the required composition and consistency for a wide variety of types of teeth and gums.

In folk medicine, the most popular ingredients are:

  • tea tree oil – relieves superficial caries and inflammation of soft tissues;
  • thyme - plays the role of a bactericidal agent;
  • sage – stops bleeding in the gums and strengthens blood vessels;
  • rosemary – improves blood circulation in the tissues that nourish the tooth;
  • clove – good for toothache relief;
  • peppermint – eliminates bad breath;
  • chamomile is an excellent antiseptic;
  • honey – contains essential vitamins, micro- and macroelements;
  • baking soda - whitens enamel.

How to make your own toothpaste?

Homemade toothpaste recipes are quite varied and not complicated, although certain proportions must be observed. Some substances are also effective when used alone, such as citric acid or salt.

Experts advise

When choosing a toothpaste, some questions arise. Here are the answers dentists give to them:

Is whitening toothpaste safe?

Only cheap toothpastes that are saturated with abrasive substances that scratch and thin the enamel are harmful to teeth. The level of abrasiveness of the paste is indicated by RDA symbols and an index, which indicates the size of the abrasive particles. The optimal indicator is RDA 70–120 (LACALUT White, PRESIDENT White, SILCA Arctic White, SPLAT whitening Plus).

Are pastes with antiseptics harmless?

If pastes containing triclosan, chlorhexidine or hexitidine are used continuously, they can be harmful because Following the pathogenic bacteria, they will begin to destroy beneficial microflora. The course of treatment with such pastes should not exceed two weeks.

Is it true that gel is better than paste?

Both types provide equivalent care and cleansing. This is a matter of taste, and nothing more.

Should you brush your teeth after every meal?

The optimal mode for brushing your teeth is morning and evening. More frequent procedures lead to thinning of the enamel and increased sensitivity. For oral health, it is enough to brush your teeth for 1.5 minutes twice a day.
