The best toothpastes in 2022

Brushing your teeth is a common hygienic procedure for every person. But this was not always the case, for example, in the Middle Ages, teeth were not brushed at all. In the middle of the 19th century, toothpaste appeared, consisting of chalk and soap. Nowadays, dentifrices are made on the basis of silicates, contain fluoride and various additives.

In a huge variety of pastes, gels for cleaning teeth, it is not easy to choose a high-quality, effective preparation. Manufacturers in the pursuit of profit may include components harmful to humans in the composition of the paste. When choosing a toothpaste, you need to pay attention to the ingredients, as well as focus on well-known brands.

How to choose the right toothpaste?

Types of toothpastes.

Pastes with fluorine.

Fluoride is a trace mineral recommended by the World Health Organization as an ingredient in toothpaste. When combined with tooth enamel, fluoride is incorporated into its structure. Enamel is restored by restoring the required amount of calcium and phosphorus.The teeth are strengthened, the process of caries is stopped.

A paste containing fluoride can be used by almost everyone. The exceptions are regions where the fluorine content in water exceeds the permissible level. In Russia they make up 10%. This information can be obtained from the local sanitary and epidemiological station.

About the benefits and harms of fluoride paste:

Pastes with calcium.

It is usually recommended for children. Most dentists believe that the use of such a paste is ineffective, since human saliva contains a significant amount of calcium, almost nothing is absorbed from the paste.

Pasta with soda.

Such a paste performs a purely hygienic function. It does not contain enamel protection components. Baking soda cleans teeth well and refreshes the mouth. The use of the paste has a mild whitening effect.

Pastes with honey and propolis.

Such additives do not add cleaning or strengthening properties to the teeth. Bee products are useful when consumed internally.

Pasta with herbs.

The paste contains herbal extracts that help strengthen the gums. This drug is especially effective for gum disease (gingivitis, periodontitis). Main function: removal of inflammation, reduction of bleeding gums. Pasta with herbs gently cleans teeth.

Whitening pastes.

The effect of whitening has not been proven, and the consequences have not been studied. There is an opinion that aggressive abrasives can contribute to the erasure of tooth enamel. It is not recommended to brush your teeth with such pastes regularly. With increased sensitivity of the teeth, it is better not to use such a paste at all.

 

Product release form: paste, gel or powder?

Tooth powder in the composition has many cleansing components. It is recommended to use it no more than 2 times a week for lovers of coffee, tea, smokers, owners of dentures.

In gel pastes, plaque-dissolving agents, most often silicon dioxide, act as a cleaning component. The degree of purification is small. Pastes in the form of a gel are produced mainly for children.

Ordinary toothpaste has a good cleansing property without harming tooth enamel.

How to choose the right toothbrush?

A short digression into the history of toothbrushes.

Oral hygiene has a long history. This is confirmed by archaeological excavations, when devices for brushing teeth were found. Soaked chewing sticks were used as a brush. In Kievan Rus, oak brushes replaced the modern toothbrush. At the end of the 15th century in China, boar bristles were inserted into a bamboo stick, and in Europe it was horse hair.

In ancient Greece, teeth were cleaned with a linen cloth soaked in saline solution with sulfurous oil. For the back teeth, a stick with a tissue attached to it was used. In India, neem tree branches have been used for brushing teeth since ancient times.

At the end of the 18th century, a prototype of a modern toothbrush appeared - a tuft of bristles from a cow's tail was inserted in a drilled hole in a handle made of cow bone. During the First World War, the base of the brush was made of celluloid. Animal bristles were used until 1937.

This year, nylon was invented in the laboratory of Du Pont Wallace H. Carothers, which has received wide application in various fields. A year later, the nylon bristle toothbrush Dr. West's Miracle-Tuft Toothbrush, which quickly replaced natural bristles.

• Low cost;
• Ability to change the texture and diameter;
• You can give the tips of the bristles a different shape
