Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentifrice used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. Toothpaste is used to promote oral hygiene: it acts as an abrasive that aids in removing the dental plaque and food from the teeth, assists in the elimination and/or masking of halitosis, and delivers active ingredients such as fluoride or xylitol to help prevent tooth and gum disease (gingivitis). It is important to note that most of the cleaning is done by the mechanical use of the toothbrush, and not by the toothpaste. Most toothpastes contain trace amounts of chemicals that may be toxic when ingested; toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed. HistoryFrom Wikipedia under the

I want to know what is the best toothpaste that makes your teeth whiter. What I am using now doesn't do much for me. It is " Crest Whitening Expressions".

Answered by carmon Lancaster - Fri May 21 17:49:28 2010 How much toothpaste must be swallowed to cause a sodium fluoride overdose?
Q. I recently brushed my teeth (with Auqa Fresh) and I fear that I might have swallowed some of it, and it contains sodium fluoride. How much toothpaste would have to be swallowed to induce a toothpaste overdose? I really appreciate your help. Asked by italianxdude - Sat Jun 23 12:53:08 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no real fluoride "overdose". If you eat too much fluoride or toothpaste you will feel sick and maybe throw up. If you have all your permanent teeth now (adult teeth) then there is no risk of fluorosis (which is a mottled/ strange appearance when your adult teeth come in). So if you are older than 12 then dont worry about it. You have to swallow tons of toothpaste to feel sick or have dental problems (on teeth that havent come in yet). Always use only a PEA sized amount on a toothbrush when brushing. The tv show 20/20 did a report a few years back about how much toothpaste to use when brushing. And they found out only a pea sized amount for adults and kids is needed. The toothpaste commericals show a huge ribbon of paste because… [cont.] Answered by unknown - Sat Jun 23 21:10:24 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "toothpaste" |
