Common Types Of Toothpaste


Posted on 9/11/2023 by DeLuca, Ressel, & Congemi Dental Care
Common Types Of ToothpasteRegarding oral hygiene, picking the appropriate toothpaste can significantly impact keeping a healthy smile. With many available toothpaste options, you should understand the common types and their specific benefits. Continue reading to learn the most common types of toothpaste:

Children's Toothpaste


Children's toothpaste has lower fluoride levels, as excessive fluoride intake can harm children. They come in appealing flavors and fun packaging to make brushing a more enjoyable experience for children. You need to supervise children while they brush their teeth and ensure they use only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to minimize swallowing.

Teeth-Whitening Toothpaste


Teeth-whitening toothpaste is designed to help remove surface stains and restore the natural whiteness of teeth. This toothpaste often contains mild chemical agents that assist in the removal of stains caused by food, beverages, and tobacco.

Even though toothpaste that whitens teeth can help, you should know that it is less effective than professional teeth-whitening procedures. Always check with your dentist before using toothpaste that whitens teeth.

Herbal Toothpaste


Herbal toothpaste is a natural alternative to traditional toothpaste. Ingredients like neem, mint, clove, or other plant-based extracts with well-known antibacterial and calming effects make this toothpaste. Herbal toothpaste may benefit individuals who prefer a more natural approach to oral care. However, you should note that herbal toothpaste may not always contain fluoride, which is essential for protecting against tooth decay. Check the packaging to ensure it meets your oral health needs.

Sensitive Toothpaste


Sensitive toothpaste is for individuals with sensitive teeth and gums. It helps reduce tooth sensitivity by forming a protective barrier over exposed dentin. This toothpaste often contains potassium nitrate or strontium chloride that helps alleviate discomfort caused by hot, cold, or sweet stimuli. Regularly using sensitive toothpaste can provide relief and allow individuals to enjoy their favorite foods and beverages without sensitivity. Visit your dentist today to talk about the right toothpaste.
