Accepted Answer

Baby toothpaste: Baby toothpaste is Fluoride free & available from many sources.Babies tend to swallow this mix & the Fluoride content of adult paste is high enough to cause fluorosis (wavy lines & stains in developing teeth) if used over time. You can also use baking soda or a wet cloth in the beginning.

Question 6

please help! tooth paste stuck in braces?

Accepted Answer

Not toothpaste: Toothpaste is soft and should rinse out easily.  It's probably food debris or tarter.  If it's food debris, a water pik would be very helpful.  If tarter, your dentist of orthodontist will have to blast or jackhammer it off for you.  If it isn't gone by the time you read this answer, call your orthodontist for a quick appointment to determine what's wrong.

Question 8

dental experts! what is the best tooth paste on the market for whitening?

Chlorine dioxide: After 30 plus years of practice, I have found that a toothpaste and mouthwash containing chlorine dioxide to be most effective in killing gram negative aneurobic bacteria that frequently cause bad breath and the release of oxygen also whitens your teeth.

I am not sure that: It would be a very valid experiment because the structure of an egg shell and a tooth vary greatly.

Question 10

for the past week my teeth have been really sensitive. i got a special kind of tooth paste but it hasn't helped. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Sensitive teeth: Are all your teeth sensitive or a specific few?
Any recent traumas- hitting the teeth with a glass, or an elbow? Aware of grinding your teeth? Chewing on ice or hard candies? Drinking sodas or juices or sports drinks?
Are your gums receding? These are things that might cause sensitive teeth. Using a "sensitivity toothpaste" can help if you brush with it and spit out the excess, but don't rinse.
