Toothpaste is a cream or gel used as an additive during tooth brushing. Already 2,500 years ago in Egypt there are records of use of salt, pepper pumice stone. And in modern form it appeared in 1896 when Colgate produced a paste inside the tube.
That includes: paste contains a number of ingredients such as fluoride since 1914, a material called SLS (sodium laureth sulfate), which causes foaming but in the oral tissue can cause more aphtha sores. It also contains white calcite powder (minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium) that brighten the teeth. It also contains sodium carbonate, herbs, flavorings such as mint, strawberry etc., some pastes contain antibacterial substance called triclosan which is supposed to provide protection for 12 hours, may also contain zinc chloride. Certainly, we cannot know exactly what materials and what percentages since it is considered a trade secret and manufacturers only publish what is going to promote sales.
What toothpaste is recommended? In principle, what you want, to the extent that there is no specific recommendation, to use specific pastes for the specific problem you suffer. What is more tasty, cheap and convenient for you. Since the important point is not the toothpaste which removes plaque it is only a small help and gives a good feeling.
There is no need to use toothpaste at all because the mechanical action of tooth brushing and the use of dental floss, interdental brushes or oral irrigators will remove 100% of the bacterial plaque and this has already been scientifically proven. So, we recommend brushing without paste and only at the end add some paste because the large amount of foam confuses and it is misunderstood that the brushing action is finished and everything is already clean and that is a big mistake. Only mechanical action will remove plaque
The amount of paste: As I explained that there is no need to put toothpaste so if you want to put it at the end as recommended, and will not change anything if it gets a little at first, but the amount smaller than the size of one pea, more paste alone produces a budget hole and excellent profits for the manufacturer.
