Best toothpastes in 2024

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, a toothpaste consisting of chalk and soap appeared. Nowadays, dentifrices are made on the basis of silicates, contain fluoride and various additives.

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

How to choose the right toothpaste?

Types of toothpastes.

Fluoride pastes.

Fluoride is a micronutrient recommended by the World Health Organization as a component of toothpaste. When combined with tooth enamel, fluoride is incorporated into its structure. The enamel is restored by restoring the required amount of calcium and phosphorus. The teeth are strengthened, the process of caries occurrence stops.

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

About the benefits and dangers of fluoride paste:

Calcium pastes.

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

Pastes with soda.

This paste has a purely hygienic function. It contains no enamel protection components. Baking soda cleans teeth well and freshens the oral cavity. The application of the paste has a mild whitening effect.

Pastes with honey and propolis.

These additives do not add cleaning or strengthening properties to the teeth. Beekeeping products are beneficial when taken internally.

Herbal pastes.

The paste contains herbal extracts that help strengthen the gums. Such a drug is especially effective for gum disease (gingivitis, periodontitis). Main function: relieving inflammation, reducing bleeding of the gums. Herbal paste gently cleanses teeth.

Whitening pastes.

The whitening effect has not been proven and the effects have not been studied. It is believed that aggressive abrasives can erase the 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 contains many cleansing ingredients. 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. Its purification degree is small. Gel pastes are produced mainly for children.

Regular toothpaste has good cleaning properties without harming tooth enamel.

How to choose the right toothbrush?

A small excursion into the history of toothbrushes.

Oral hygiene has a long history. This is confirmed by archaeological excavations, when teeth cleaning devices were found. Soaked sticks and 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, wild boar bristles were inserted into a bamboo stick, and in Europe it was horse hair.

In ancient Greece, teeth were brushed with a linen cloth dipped in a saline solution with sulphurous oil. For the back teeth, a stick with tissue attached to it was used. In India, from ancient times to the present, twigs of the neem tree have been used to brush teeth.

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

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

It had many drawbacks: it did not dry well and promoted the multiplication of bacteria. The advantages of nylon:

• Low cost;
• Ability to change texture and diameter;
• Can be shaped into different shapes at the ends of the bristles

In the middle of the last century, soft nylon was created. A toothbrush with it cost more than a hard one. Today, bristles can be made not only of nylon, but also of polyurethane and polyvinyl. There is no fundamental difference between them.

Toothbrushes are available in various degrees of hardness, size, and color. The choice is up to the buyer.

Types of toothbrushes.

It is not recommended for people with good teeth to use these brushes.

Rules for using the toothbrush and marking on its packaging.

Each package of toothpaste contains the following information: the name of the manufacturer, its address. There must be a Rostest sign.

How to use a toothbrush:

• Do not store the brush in a closed case;
• Do not keep children's and adult brushes together;
• After use, wash with hot water and dry;
• Put on a protective cap;
