Toothpaste has come a long way since the late 19th century when it was first widely used. Today, the market has grown beyond the many indistinguishable drugstore varieties to include natural alternatives, unique flavors, and more. There are many options to analyze when choosing the best toothpaste. Please pay attention to the following.
To fluoride or not to fluoride?
Many of the new oral care brands are promoting their fluoride-free formulations as a selling point. But is fluoride really a bad thing? Because of its ability to prevent tooth decay, fluoride is typically added to both oral care products and tap water. However, some people fear the possible long-term effects of fluoride exposure, and brands are now offering fluoride-free alternatives.
Fluoride-free formulas don't provide the same level of tooth decay prevention as traditional ones, but that may not matter: the cleaning effect of your toothbrush is more important for oral hygiene than the toothpaste you use. However, there are other benefits to using toothpaste, such as: B. Teeth whitening and breath freshening.
If you want to upgrade from the usual drugstore tubes, new toothpaste brands offer benefits such as unique flavors, natural ingredients and sustainable packaging. To aid you in your search, we've rounded up some of the best natural and remarkable products on the market.
