Anti-caries, whitening, with fluoride, mint, against sensitivity&#8230; The range of toothpastes in pharmacies and supermarkets is so wide that choosing becomes an odyssey.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you wondering if there is a toothpaste capable of preventing any oral problem, the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, at Cl\u00ednica Cervera we will help you answer the question &#8220;what is the best toothpaste?&#8221; according to your needs and particularities.<\/p>\n<p>More brightness for my smile The agent used in whitening toothpastes is carbamide or hydrogen peroxide.<\/p>\n<p>The concentration used in these pastes is useful for prolonging tooth whitening performed by a professional, but on its own it is ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it is recommended to alternate these pastes with others, even if they do not have an abrasiveness that contraindicates their daily use.<\/p>\n<p>Stronger teeth Fluoride is the active ingredient responsible for strengthening teeth and preventing tooth decay.<\/p>\n<p>You can find it under the names \u201csodium fluoride\u201d, \u201cstannous fluoride\u201d or \u201csodium monofluorophosphate\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that from the age of 6, toothpastes with 1,450 ppm are recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy gums Essential oils and chlorhexidine are the only active ingredients effective in reducing gingivitis.<\/p>\n<p>But we must be careful with the latter, as it yellows the teeth as a side effect; therefore, toothpastes that contain it should be used for intermittent periods (one or two months), alternating them with others.<\/p>\n<p>Less sensitivity for my teeth. Toothpastes designed for people with hypersensitivity contain strontium chloride or potassium nitrate.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these substances replaces some of the calcium lost from the dentin and blocks the exposed dentinal tubules.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the second progressively reduces the pain caused by sensitivity.<\/p>\n<h2>And for the little ones?<\/h2>\n<p>Use a toothpaste with a pleasant taste to encourage good oral hygiene habits.<\/p>\n<p>From the first baby tooth, use a minimum amount of toothpaste with 1,000 ppm of fluoride.<\/p>\n<p>From the age of three, with 1,000-1,450 ppm the size of a pea.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to help and supervise him until he is independent and remind him not to rinse his mouth after brushing so that the active ingredients in the toothpaste can take effect.<\/p>\n<p>If after reading these tips for choosing the best toothpaste, you still have doubts, we recommend that you go to your trusted dentist, who knows your mouth better than anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we remind you that toothpaste is only a complement and that the most important thing is to follow a correct oral hygiene routine: brush at least twice a day for two minutes and don&#8217;t forget about interdental cleaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3476,"template":"","categoria":[67],"class_list":["post-2832","actualitat","type-actualitat","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-salut-bucodental"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat\/2832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualitat"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=2832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
