Toothpaste is a gel used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. They promote oral hygiene: it serves as an abrasive that removing the dental plaque and food from the teeth & to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

These days, we feel overwhelmed by the types of toothpaste available at your grocery store. Still note this “The best type of toothpaste for you is the one you like well enough to use every day”.

Some verity of toothpaste includes:

Antimicrobial : Antimicrobial toothpastes may contain stannous fluoride, an antibacterial agent that also provides anti-cavity and tooth sensitivity benefits.

Tartar control : Tartar-control toothpastes may contain sodium pyrophosphate which helps to keep tartar from forming on teeth or better yet, sodium hexametaphosphate, which helps prevent tartar buildup on teeth and teeth stains, above the gum line. But if you already have stubborn tartar, toothpaste won’t remove it-you’ll need a professional cleaning from your dental hygienist.

Whitening : Whitening toothpastes contain chemical or abrasive ingredients to help remove and/or prevent stains from forming on the teeth. When used regularly, whitening toothpastes can reduce the appearance of teeth stains and make your teeth look whiter.
