Do you have problems with your teeth? The modern market offers a considerable selection of products to solve these problems. Zalina Shleeva, a representative of the Moscow company Licomp Inter, tells us about dental innovations.

All pastes are divided into three main groups - preventive and therapeutic-prophylactic, which you can easily choose yourself, and therapeutic, recommended for chronic forms of diseases. When choosing them, you should listen to the advice of your dentist.

All new generation pastes not only have a cleansing effect, but also resist diseases of teeth and gums. Those whose teeth are susceptible to caries need toothpastes with added fluoride. After all, caries most often occurs when the body's salt metabolism is disrupted, caused by a lack of fluoride. Preventive anti-caries pastes are usually labeled “for the whole family” and contain active fluoride additives. An increased fluoride content in toothpastes is necessary for those whose teeth are rapidly affected by caries.

Whitening pastes are needed for those whose teeth turn yellow, losing their natural white color. If your teeth hurt from hot and cold foods, then you should consider toothpastes for sensitive teeth.

In my opinion, this should be a company with solid traditions, producing well-known pastes, the names of which are “on everyone’s lips.” For example, the English paste “Aquafresh”, the German “Silka”, and the American “Blend-a-med” have proven themselves to be excellent. Among the new products that have passed all strict clinical tests, it is worth noting the domestic multifunctional pastes of the Almaz series, which are produced in Odintsovo, near Moscow. So far, four types of “Diamond” have been developed: whitening, anti-caries, triple effect paste and herbal paste.

The “Dental” toothpastes from the Bulgarian plant “Rubella” are wonderful. This world-respected company is constantly improving its products. The Dental range is extremely wide and varied. For example, Dental Dream Bi-Fluor toothpaste with a high fluoride content effectively protects against caries. For more problematic teeth, “Dental Dream Anti-Caries” paste is “addressed”, which has the rare ability to concentrate fluoride in places of initial caries, and therefore slow down the further development of the disease. Microelements and salts from Lake Pomorie in “Dental Dream Anti-Parodontose” protect gums and can heal them. Dental also has pastes that prevent the formation of tartar, those that gently but effectively whiten teeth, and pastes that can “soothe” bleeding gums.

It is obvious that the course of manufacturers of cosmetics and perfumes has been taken to use herbs. What about toothpastes?

# - Indeed, a promising direction is medicinal pastes based on medicinal herbs. Herbs are great for soothing, disinfecting and cleansing. New therapeutic and hygienic pastes with bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects cannot do without them. Nettle extract, for example, stimulates cell and enamel regeneration processes, tones and heals gums.

# Chamomile has an antiseptic effect, fights many types of infections, and soothes the oral mucosa.

# Not long ago, toothpaste with tea tree extract appeared. It perfectly freshens breath and stimulates the renewal of gum tissue at the cellular level.

# Aloe vera kills all pathogens on both teeth and gums.

# Mackerel has the ability to stop bleeding gums.

Pastes from the “Multiple Herbs” series combine plant extracts of nettle, chamomile, mint, thyme and mackerel. Typically, “multi-herbal” pastes are recommended as a means of prevention.

In the near future, a new whitening toothpaste with lemon will appear in the Dental series. Everyone knows that citrus fruits, and especially lemon, can whiten skin and nails. Lemon extract has the same strengthening and brightening effect on teeth. This pasta tastes extremely good.

Nowadays, gel pastes are often found. How are they different from regular toothpastes?

All toothpastes are divided into paste and gel. The first ones are time-tested. Gels appeared relatively recently. To say that they are fundamentally better and more efficient would be unfair. But they taste better, foam better and have a longer lasting effect. Dental gels are often colored or even multi-colored. Rich, colorful colors are achieved by adding harmless food coloring.

Does the choice of pasta depend on age?

To the same extent as the fact that with age new diseases of teeth and gums appear. For example, tartar is rarely found on children's teeth - therefore, toothpastes for baby teeth are recommended for children. Many adults have teeth with relatively “strong” gums that are affected by caries, while others have “healthy” teeth that are mobile due to weakened gums.

Is it worth changing pastes?

I think that from all the variety of pastes you need to choose those that cope with your problem. There shouldn't be many of them. It’s not worth changing toothpastes as regularly as cosmetologists advise changing shampoos and creams. There was no evidence of addiction to the pastes.

How and when to brush your teeth?

You should brush your teeth twice a day: after breakfast and dinner. If you brush your teeth before eating, the effect is small. It is advisable to brush your teeth after every meal, strong and sweet drinks. If this is not possible, then you should at least rinse your mouth thoroughly. For this purpose, it is good to always have special mouth rinses with you. Cliven and Colgate rinses are effective.

The task of the hygienic procedure of “brushing teeth” is to clean the tooth from all sides. Many people only remove plaque from the frontal surfaces of their teeth, although caries develops on them very rarely.

Does the choice of toothbrush matter?

Brushes vary in shape, type of bristles and hardness. Be careful with hard brushes - they are intended for healthy teeth and gums. Excessive hardness leads to abrasion of tooth enamel. A hard and prickly brush can irritate and injure the interdental papillae, which provokes the appearance of periodontal disease, especially in those who are predisposed to it.

Modern nylon materials are much better than bristles, as they retain their original shape longer. You should choose a brush with a small head that is easier to maneuver around your teeth. The edges of the bristles and the brush itself should not be sharp, so as not to damage the gums.

Among the new products, the Swiss Triza toothbrushes are distinguished by their impeccable quality. The tips of the bristles are “rounded” by diamond grinding, which eliminates even microdamage to the enamel. New century brushes are cut at several levels to provide gentle, measured pressure on the teeth. For hypersensitive teeth, supersensitive brushes made from extremely fine fibers are produced.

Many companies, including Triza, are developing the production of tiny brushes for cleaning small interdental spaces, reminiscent of mini-copies of bottle brushes. They are also designed to massage the gums. Electric toothbrushes have ceased to be wonders. Their movements “repeat” the natural shape of the tooth. Hydromassage irrigators also appear, the intense stream of water of which removes plaque and food debris from the interdental spaces. This device is also used for gum massage.

Toothpastes are hygiene products for daily dental care.

Preventative toothpastes provide daily gentle dental care, reliable prevention of caries and protection against inflammatory diseases of the gums and oral mucosa.

Toothpastes for periodontal disease– medicated toothpastes designed to actively combat bleeding and inflammation of the gums. Thanks to an effective combination of active elements: antibacterial components, minerals and herbal extracts, they provide general oral hygiene, fight bacteria and prevent the formation of plaque.

Toothpastes for caries– medicated toothpastes designed to prevent the development of caries. Caries most often occurs in areas of the mouth that are difficult to clean. Toothpastes for caries usually contain calcium and fluoride, which help cope with this problem.

Toothpastes for sensitive teeth– a type of toothpaste used for increased tooth sensitivity to temperature stimuli. The mechanism of action and effectiveness of toothpastes for sensitive teeth is associated with dentinal tubules. This paste mechanically clogs the peripheral openings of the dentinal tubules. During the process of brushing teeth, the active components of the pastes are released, which fill the dentinal tubules from the inlet to the depth of the tubule. After blockage of the dentinal tubules, the pain symptom complex to external stimuli disappears.

Whitening toothpastes– designed for active teeth whitening. Teeth whiteness lost due to exposure to nicotine, tea or red wine can be restored with toothpaste containing bleach. Whitening toothpastes can be divided into two groups: toothpastes containing whitening chemicals (peroxides, acids or enzymes); pastes with a high content of abrasive substances. Whitening toothpastes are contraindicated in case of periodontal disease or increased tooth sensitivity.

Antibacterial toothpastes- medicated toothpastes designed to prevent the development of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity. Toothpastes with antibacterial components can stop the development of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity. Thanks to the complex effect of these components on damaged tissue, foci of inflammation during periodontitis and periodontal disease are eliminated and its further spread is prevented.

Toothpastes with herbs– therapeutic and prophylactic toothpastes designed to maintain oral health. Medicinal herbs are widely used to maintain oral health due to their beneficial properties. Extracts of medicinal herbs have anti-inflammatory and healing properties and can be used in preventive and therapeutic toothpastes.

Toothpastes without fluoride– toothpastes recommended for use in cases of fluorosis and in regions with high levels of fluoride in drinking water. Uncontrolled consumption of toothpastes with added fluoride can cause fluorosis. Rinsing teeth with fluoride-containing formulations and consuming food supplements enriched with fluoride should only be done by people at high risk of developing dental caries. In regions with high levels of fluoride in drinking water, it is recommended to use toothpastes that do not contain fluoride.

Toothpastes for children and teenagers– specialized toothpastes. Children under 6 years of age must use special toothpastes; for children over 6 years of age, regular “family” toothpastes are allowed. Toothpastes for children are subject to increased safety requirements in case of ingestion. Therefore, pastes are produced for children that, if they enter the gastrointestinal tract, will not have a toxic effect on the body. For children, in particular, toothpastes with a reduced fluoride content are produced. The fluoride content should be 0.05%. Children's toothpastes are characterized by low abrasiveness.

Toothpastes for smokers- toothpastes recommended for use by smokers. Toothpastes for smokers, thanks to the components they contain, dissolve tobacco plaque, plaque from coffee and tea, reduce the formation of tartar, and allow you to maintain fresh breath for a long time.
