could you tell me a toothpaste that does not have sodium lauryl sulfate or fluoride in it?

Question

What is stannous fluoride and is it better than sodium fluoride in your toothpaste?

Answer 1

Tom's of Maine: Tom's is a brand of all-natural body cleaners and toothpaste, mouthwashes, etc. They work well, obviously do not have fluoride, or other chemicals. Feel free to look for them, they are in many grocery stores, or natural heath food stores.

Answer 2

Toothpaste: ClosysII is one option. Check Tom's of Maine for other options.

Answer 3

A few companies: There are many companies which make natural toothpastes free from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and fluoride: Rembrandt Premium, Sensodyne and Xyliwhite , just a few..

Answer 4

Triclosan: Triclosan is actually a registered pesticide that has anti-microbial actions against bacteria. It has been found to block throid function in bull frogs and rats. It is a component of some toothpastes used for gingivitis, mouthwashes and hand soaps. The fda is unsure if it is safe for human consumption and is re-studying this matter. 2% triclosan can help tp kill a bad-actor bacteria -mrsa on skin.

Answer 5

Apples and oranges: Triclosan and Fluoride are used for different purposes. Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal used in a variety of consumer products including toothpaste. Fluoride is used to make teeth stronger and aid in remineralization of enamel. Triclosan is good for the prevention of gingivitis and reducing bacteria in the mouth. So both are good for oral hygiene.

Answer 6

Not the same thing: Triclosan and stannous Fluoride are two totally different things. Triclosan is an antibacterial, it kills bacteria. Stannous Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel by making it more acid resistant. Triclosan may be an endocrine disrupter and is currently being evaluated by the fda. When used properly Fluoride has a proven safe record dispite some hype to the contrary.

Answer 7

Rout Given: The sodium salt is given IV and the calcium salt is given sub q but the active drug Heparin is the same and functions as a blood thinner.

Answer 8

Salt: The active ingredient Heparin is the medication doing the work, the salt (Chemistry - Sodium or calcium ) is what the heparin is combined with to help it to become absorbed in the GI tract.

Answer 9

Yes: Tonsil "stones" are concretions of microscopic food particles, sloughing mucosa cells from the lining of the oral cavity, and bacteria (usually in the form of "biofilm"). Anything that causes them to be dislodged will help keep those pits in the tonsil clear. I have even known some patients who use a "water pik" to keep their tonsils clear of stones.

Answer 10

Sometimes: Pockets in the tonsils, also called crypts, can catch food particles and then the minerals in your saliva can and will coat them to turn them into tonsiliths. If you gargle after eating, they may be fewer and easier to clear.

Answer 11

Yes and no: Common table salt is actually the chemical compound sodium chloride. Excess sodium in your diet can lead to fluid retention which will increase weight and can lead to elevated blood pressure in some individuals. This is usually a transient event and shoud not be confused with the weight gain that results from consuming excessive calories. After bariatric surgery extra salt is actually beneficial.

Answer 12

Possibly: There are some people that are very salt sensitive.... And too much salt can cause fluid retention/ water weight gain- as well as effect blood pressure. The other issue is what foods are associated with salty... Fries, chips, etc.... These do effect weight! happy new year!

Answer 13

No: Unless you are taking steroids, it might exacerbate water retention.

Answer 14

Early No/late maybe: End stage COPD may cause cor pulmonale of CHF secondary to copd. The CHF gets decompnsated with sodium and fluid intake.

Answer 15

Not directly: Sodium intake usually affects hypertension. If blood pressure is not controlled, that may make breathing harder, not directly related to copd. If the COPD patient has carbon dioxide retention they should limit their carbohydrate intake.
