Question 1

what are good toothpaste?

Accepted Answer

Many options: Any fluoridated non-abrasive toothpaste would be a good choice. If you have a very low decay rate and therefore won't really benefit from the fluoride, baking soda and a little salt has done well by many people for decades as well. Even dry brushing is helpful so the main thing is to brush and clean inter-dentally (floss or another aid).

Question 2

is synsodine a good toothpaste?

Accepted Answer

Sensodyne: It's one of many good toothpastes and may help in reducing tooth sensitivity for certain specific indications only. See your dentist if your teeth are sensitive to determine cause and what would be best to eliminate or reduce the sensitivity. Most causes of tooth sensitivity require specific treatments so find out what, if anything, is causing yours.

Question 3

what does toothpaste actually do?

Accepted Answer

Helps Clean+Fluoride: It is like a polishing compound with Fluoride in it.  The toothbrush does the most work and is by far the most important but the toothpaste with Fluoride helps to remineralize damaged enamel to help prevent cavities.  I don't endorse any toothpaste, just make sure it has Fluoride and use it often.  Be cautious of those claiming to "proven better than" another brand.  Wording is everything.

Question 4

what happens if you eat toothpaste?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Most toothpastes contain Fluoride which is very beneficial for your teeth, but ingesting too much is not good for you.  Don't use toothpaste as a breath freshener between brushings and when you brush use a small pea sized amount and spit out the excess.

Question 5

Question 6

is pepsodent a non abrasive toothpaste?

Accepted Answer

NO!: All tooth paste contain some abrasives, including 'pepsodent' have silica as the abrasive ingredient .  If you have sensitive teeth : (1) don't use large brushing motions, instead use small massaging motions with toothbrush. (2) always use  a 'soft' toothbrush.  (3) do not push/scrub  with a lot of pressure against your teeth. Doing 'one' of these things can cause wearing away of teeth and gums!

Question 7

Accepted Answer

No worries...: Unless  it was tasty enough for  to you eat  the whole tube .! nothing will happen if u inadvertently swallowed some tooth paste while brushing , or even more  . ..But don't make that as a habit.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes!: Decades of studies, have proven it safe...As long as it is being used by people old enough to know how to "rinse it out" and not swallow the toothpaste!

Question 9

can you tell me is fluoridated toothpaste safe?

Accepted Answer

It  is safe: The levels of Fluoride in toothpaste is very safe.  The seal of acceptance by the american dental association indicates that we are concerned about your health and do no want to endorse anything that is detrimental to you.

Question 10

how do i find what's the best toothpaste for me?

Accepted Answer

Personal preference: In general, as long as a toothpaste has fluoride, the rest of the choices are up to you. There are toothpastes for sensitive teeth, those that help inhibit the formation of tartar, those that are supposed to promote whitening. Taste is important. Also, some are more abrasive than others, so the current condition to your teeth, especially along the gum line can be important. Your dentist can help.
