Toothpaste is a familiar product, available in most families, known for its ability to clean plaque and leftover food after each meal. From there, it protects teeth, making them strong and shiny. Not only that, with the development of modern technology, there are many types of toothpaste for treating tooth decay on the market today that are very effective.
1. How to choose toothpaste for treating tooth decay
Because tooth decay is one of the most common diseases today, there are many different types of toothpaste for treating tooth decay on the market to meet the needs of each person. However, you need to consider carefully before buying because not all types are good and highly effective. Therefore, in order not to waste time using poor quality toothpaste, you can refer to the following way to choose the right anti-cavity toothpaste:
1.1. Based on the anti-cavity ingredients of the toothpaste
When choosing to buy anti-cavity toothpaste, you should choose those containing Fluoride or Xylitol because:
– Fluoride, also known as Sodium Fluoride, can prevent harmful bacteria in the oral cavity from producing Acid that causes tooth decay.
– Xylitol is an active ingredient that can rebalance the pH in the oral cavity after eating, changing from Acid to Alkaline, so it is effective in preventing tooth decay.
1.2. Toothpaste with less abrasives and foaming agents
Although the abrasives in toothpaste can effectively remove bacteria and plaque in the oral cavity, they can also erode and remove the healthy protective layers on the tooth surface, thereby causing damage to the teeth, creating favorable conditions for harmful bacteria to invade and attack the teeth.
In addition, toothpaste products containing a lot of foaming agents (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate- SLS) also cause many people to not clean their teeth thoroughly because they think that their teeth have been cleaned and polished in every corner.
1.3. Toothpaste with antibacterial elements
Choosing a toothpaste that treats cavities with antibacterial ingredients is extremely important in dental cleaning products. Some common antibacterial ingredients such as Triclosan, Isopropyl Methylphenol, Chlorhexidine and Cetylpyridinium Chloride will help protect your teeth from cavities as well as limit the appearance of plaque, tartar, and prevent gingivitis that affects health.
