For years, one of the indispensable elements of humanity has been cosmetics and beauty. Dental care products are very important for the care of our teeth, which are a part of our beauty as well as our health. That's why dental care products have been in our lives for thousands of years.
Toothpaste is the most important dental care product. When we look at the history of toothpaste, we see that one of the oldest formulas in the world belongs to the Egyptians. Its history dates back to B.C. This formula, dating back to the 5th century, consisted of mint flowers, salt and pepper. This formula was believed to work, although it had the side effect of bleeding gums. When we look at recent history, today's forms of toothpaste began to be discovered and produced in the 1800s. Nowadays, it is not enough for toothpastes to just smell pleasant and remove stains. With advancing technology, a lot of research and studies can be done on this subject. The materials used in its content are researched in detail and put into service.
When we look at the market as a result of such comprehensive studies, we see that one company has 8-9 types of pastes. So how will we choose?
Pastes available on the market have a wide variety of ingredients. The paste to be chosen varies depending on the person's needs, expectations, and dental health. The right paste for your teeth and gum health should be determined individually. Just as not every shampoo is suitable for every hair, not every toothpaste is suitable for every mouth. The best guidance on this matter will be provided by your dentist who is familiar with your dental structure. However, to talk in general terms:
Patients with thin tooth enamel or enamel cracks, or patients who have experienced gum recession, will be more sensitive to cold and hot. In such a case, the individual should choose desensitizing and enamel repairing pastes.
The paste chosen for individuals with swollen and bleeding gums and gum disease is different and they may need to use extra oral care products. In this case, individuals should prefer pastes that protect gum health.
There may be individuals whose daily diet includes excessive tooth discoloration due to tea and coffee consumption and smoking. The pastes preferred by these individuals are those containing whitening ingredients. If the paste used is not sufficient, you can get professional support from your dentist for whiter teeth.
Finally, we should not forget this; No matter which toothpaste we choose, toothpaste selection comes after a good brushing. The important thing is mechanical cleaning that is effective and reaches every area. No matter which paste you use, if mechanical cleaning is insufficient, you will not be able to benefit from the paste.
