It seems as if toothpaste has been around since the beginning of time. For many of us we have been told to brush our teeth every morning and evening with toothpaste so many times growing up that it just became a routine, and we never really took the time to realize why toothpaste is so important to our oral health and overall health.
Toothpaste is important because it helps fight gum disease, calculus, cavities, tooth erosion, hypersensitivity, and malodor. Toothpaste contains fluoride. Fluoride has been proven to prevent cavities and control them. Brushing your teeth twice a day with minimal fluoride toothpaste on your toothbrush will ensure the prevention of cavities and the risk of fluorosis from ingesting too much fluoride toothpaste by accident.
Toothpaste is by far the most effective dental hygiene substance that is needed to maintain and preserve your teeth. By not using toothpaste you will definitely damage your oral health and put yourself at risk of damaging other parts of your body.
