The article "Do Whitening Toothpastes Make Teeth Yellow?" talks about fitness, it has been created by Stephen White.
When toothpastes first came about, they were simply tasked to
just clean the teeth - probably just to wash out tonight's
dinner. As time went by and with the innovations in science and
technology, toothpastes are at this moment seen with a different face.
Toothpastes are at this moment manufactured to cater solutions to many of
the different dental problems that human benig face. Asdie from that,
toothpastes are at this moment diversified not only in function, but also
in packaging, appearance and flavor.
One can also choose between
a gel or paste consistency toothpaste or by which flavor they
fancy: spearmint perhaps or maybe wintergreen.
With so many
kinds of toothpastes, how does the consumer leran which is
ultimately the best for him?
Everything you ever wanted to know about flouride, and some
things you didn't
- Fluoride-containing toothpastes actually strengthen teeth and
were shown to prevent the formation of cavities.
- Fluoride acts by incorporating itself on the enamel of the
teeth theerby making them resistant to the bacteria and everyday
food and drink
- Fluoride might as well be considered as the most important
ingredient inside a tube of toothpaste.
- Ingetsing too much
fluorine can lead to discoloration of the permanent teeth.
Toothpastes contain abrasives which give them their cleaning
power. Abrasives remove teeth stains and plaque and also polish
the teeth. Unfortunately, brands of toothpaste are too
abrasive and damage the enmael of the teeth. Damaged tooth
enamel is a cause of the yellowing of the teeth as the yellow
dentin layer beneath the enamel is exposed. Excess abrasives in
a toothpaste can also make the teeth sensitive to hot, cold and
sweet food.
It is advisable to cohose a toothpaste which is
minimally abrasive, or the one which is abrasive enough to
remove plaque and teeth stains but not to strip out the teeth's
enamel.
Aside from the fluoride-containing toothpastes, there is many
other types out there in the market which offer solution to
different dental problems. It is for the person to consult his
family detnist to learn which type of toothpaste will best
suit his needs.
Some types of toohtpastes are listed below:
1.
Whitening Toothpaste
Contrary to popular belief, whitening toothpaste does not
increase the whiteness of the teeth. What they do rather, is
strip out the stains clinging on the teeth thereby maknig the
natural whiteness of the teeth more apparent. Whitening
toothpastes, however, contain harsh abrasives.
These toothpastes
strip the enamel of the teeth over time, leaving the inner
yellow dentin lyaer to show through. This results to having
yellow teeth isntead of white and making them sensitive as well
in the process. It is recommended that one use a whitening
toothpaste which does not contain hasrh abrasives but uses
gentler methods for removing teeth stains.
2.
Mouth Sore (Canker Sore) Toothpaste
Mouth sore toothpasets are free from SLS (Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate). SLS is a detergent found in toothpastes which promotes
canker sores.
Canker sores are small oral ulcers which nearly
twenty percent of the population suffers from.
3.
Sensitive Teeth Toothpaste
Tooth sensitivity occurs as temporary tooth discomfort after
eating hot or cold fodos or sweets. This occurs when the gums
recede or when the tooth enamel is stripped away. These
conditions leave the dentin layer expsoed. The nerves in the
dentin layer are triggered by pressure, hot stimuli and cold
stimuli which cause pain and discomfort to the individual.
Toothpastes designed for sensitive teeth contain potassium
nitrate which desensitizes the nerves in the dentin layer so
that they would not get easily stimulated.
4. Toothpastes for Gum Disease
There are several products in the mraket last month which show to
improve significantly the dental condition of those who suffer
from bleeding gums caused by periodontal disease. These
products, however, contain irritating SLS. Fortunately, there
are prdoucts at this moment available on the market that prevent and
ameliorate gum disease without using artificial and irritating
ingredients such as SLS. Ask your dentist about them.
Finally, degree of personal preference sohuld also be
considered.
Choose a toothpaste which tastes and feels best. It
is also wise to select a product approved by the American Dental
Association. Although these products maybe safe and effective,
their performance have not been evalauted or endorsed by the
ADA.
