At present, there are many kinds of toothpaste and mouthwash on the market. What is the difference in their use? What role do these toothpastes and mouthwashes play in maintaining oral hygiene? First, let's see what they are made of.
1. The basic ingredients of toothpaste: No matter what brand of toothpaste, the basic ingredients are the same, including:
Cleansing agent: It can make toothpaste have foaming and decontaminating ability.
Friction: Helps remove plaque and dirt attached to the tooth surface.
Adhesive: The various ingredients in the toothpaste can be combined into a paste.
Fragrance: It can make toothpaste have various flavors and can remove bad breath.
2, toothpaste containing special ingredients: In addition to the above main ingredients, the pharmaceutical toothpaste also added various drugs. These drug toothpastes mainly include:
Fluoride toothpaste: Fluoride has a preventive effect on dental caries, so fluoride such as sodium fluoride is added to the toothpaste. This type of toothpaste is mainly used to prevent dental caries.
Periodontal disease toothpaste: such as chlorhexidine toothpaste, Kang Toning toothpaste, etc. This type of toothpaste contains a drug that inhibits bacteria and has a certain preventive effect on periodontal disease. Some Chinese herbal toothpastes also have some effect on gum bleeding caused by periodontitis.
Desensitized toothpaste: also called anti-acid toothpaste. This type of toothpaste contains desensitizing drugs, which have a certain effect on cold and acid-sensitive teeth.
3. Mouthwash composition: Like toothpaste, the composition of mouthwash is determined by the function it should perform. A mouthwash containing a fragrance can remove bad breath; fluoride can prevent dental caries; a bacteriostatic agent has a certain effect on periodontal disease; some chemical drugs in mouthwash (salvation) can inhibit the formation of plaque. However, its effect is not as good as brushing, so refreshing liquid can not replace brushing.
4, the use of precautions:
When using toothpaste and mouthwash, you should be aware of:
1) Choose toothpaste and mouthwash with the right ingredients according to your individual needs. Fluorosis should be used in patients with susceptibility to sputum. Periodontal patients should generally use toothpaste and mouthwash to inhibit periodontal pathogens.
2) When using toothpaste, apply a little pressure to squeeze the toothpaste into the gap between the bristles. The practice of applying a toothpaste to the tip of the bristles is wrong.
3) Children should not use fluoride toothpaste before the age of 3, children of 3 years old and older should try to use fluoride toothpaste, but under the supervision of parents, the size of soybeans is enough.
4) Whether it is toothpaste or mouthwash, you should take care not to swallow when using it, otherwise it may cause certain adverse reactions, especially children should be careful.
In addition, it is necessary to be clear: oral health care mainly relies on careful and correct brushing, and the mechanical friction between the toothbrush hair and the tooth surface during brushing to remove plaque and soft dirt on the tooth surface. This is the main way to prevent oral diseases. Drug toothpaste and mouthwash can only help. After getting dental caries and periodontal disease, I have to go to the hospital to find a dentist. It is not enough to rely on drug toothpaste and mouthwash.
Improper use of mouthwash can cause bad breath
A study published in the Australian Dental Journal in 2009 showed that alcohol in mouthwashes can cause carcinogens such as nicotine, which can penetrate the protective layer of the mouth more easily and increase the risk of cancer. Mouthwash is not good, but it will lead to the opposite effect - bad breath and tooth decay.
It’s not healthy to have a white tooth.
The tooth consists of three parts: the crown, the root and the neck. It is exposed in the part of the mouth that is not covered by the gums. The surface of the crown is covered with a layer of enamel, which is called enamel in medical terms and has a normal thickness of about 2-2.5 mm. The enamel is mainly composed of 96% inorganic substances and a small amount of organic matter and water. It is the hardest and most calcified tissue in the human body and has good resistance to chewing wear.
