Toothpaste without sorbitol or other "mint" flavors – Something to not ruin breakfast tastes?
Brushing teeth in the morning is good. The crap taste of everything thanks to sorbitol and other alcohols is not fun. Are there any toothpastes that don't have that crap in them? It's fine for at night, but I'd love to just have something to clean off the plaque in the morning, not try to make everything so stupidly minty.
Can Toothpaste be Dangerous?
There have been so many new toothpaste types, I am wondering if some of the chemicals could be toxic. They promise to clear plaque, whiten teeth, destroy germs, etc. From what I read in the newpapers, governments keep finding chemicals that can be toxic, and there are thousands that have not been tested.
I dislike the taste of these new formula toothpastes, and have been using the simple, old formulations. It is something I wonder about.
What do you think?
How did natives keep their teeth healthy?
Back when nomads and indians and hunter-gatherers and people of simpler times without toothbrushes or toothpastes of todays world existed, they managed to keep all their pearly whites inside their mouths full through to their antiquity. How did they do it?
I am getting my braces off in 4 days and have some questions.?
I am getting my braces off in 4 days ( Friday, June 11th.) I want to know what it is like getting them off. What they do, is it painful, does it taste bad and what is it like afterwords. I really am excited I have had braces for about 18 months and have a lot of questions.
First of all I am afraid my teeth will NOT be white.
I never really took care of my teeth. Never brushed twice a day, only flossed when I needed to and so on. So once I got my braces on I started brushing a lot, flossing using mouth wash, fluoride etc.I never got complaints about needing to brush better ( unlike a lot of other people I have sen at the orthodontist office). On the walls they have posters of white spots on teeth from not brushing enough. Supposedly your teeth r white to start they but the brackets on u stop brushing,your teeth start to yellow. And when you go to get them off they have white spots from where the bracket was. I am afraid I will have the opposite effect. My teeth will be white with yellow center spots. Any ideas. I really want nice straight white teeth.
Do u have any recommendations for toothpastes for whiter teeth. What should I do once I get my braces off. And once they are off can I use whitening strips.
I just got my braces off I love my teeth they are straight and white. But I am really scared. I am not getting my retainer for 2 weeks. How much will my teeth move. I don't want my teeth 2 move.
Pros and Cons of brushing with baking soda…?
I know it cleans well and whitens your teeth, but I've heard it causes bad breath and it lacks fluoride.
Do toothpastes that have a bit of baking soda in them as well as fluoride work just as good when it comes to whitening?
What if I brushed with baking soda and then used a strong mouthwash afterward with fluoride in it. Could that be an alternative to toothpaste?
Or should I stick with toothpaste and just use something like Crest Whitening Strips?
Can baking soda dissolve orthodontic glue and destroy enamel?
Should it be used like every other day instead of every day because of this?
Toothpaste and Toothbrush Question and Bad Breath?
Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me the best, most healthy, and environmentally friendly toothpaste and toothbrush on the market?
Seems like there are just so many now a days and all of these toothpastes contain bleaching and whitening elements, which just sound nasty and harmful.
Oh, and does anyone know a good way to get rid of bad breath?
Thanks!
Should I sue Toothpaste or mouth wash company?
Okay there is the deal. When I lived in Europe then my tooth were perfectly fine. I didn't had any problems. I also got my tooth's checked before I moved to the US. After I was being in US almost 3 months, my teeth started to go in bad condition (I washed them regularly twice a day like when I lived in EU). Then I got gum disease after that. But I also noticed something. In US, the water and toothpastes and mouth washes contains way more fluoride then the water in Europe. So I read one scientific article about fluoride. It says that fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health etc. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/fluoride.htm. But I can't afford a dental medical for my self (or my parents can't because they both got new cars and they have other big loans etc). My dad also had the same problem, his tooth started to fall out when he moved to here.
And it fu**ing hurts. I feel pressure under my teeth, it doesn't hurts actually but it feels very uncomfortable and it makes me angry. And we are living in the world most "strongest, richest, powerful etc" country which even can't afford free dental health care people who at at least under 21, but we can fight in Middle East and spend Multi billion dollars. I wish I could move back to the Europe and have a free or cheap dental health care but I can't because I'm in college in here.
I'm going to college in here etc* stupid typos.
I think I'm allergic to toothpaste for sensitive teeth – what do I do?
I have sensitive teeth and therefore can only use a toothpaste specifically for sensitivity, however, all the toothpastes I've tried (sensodyne, colgate for sensitive teeth, etc) leave redness around my lips after I brush my teeth - even though it goes away in several minutes, it leaves a burning sensation and sort of bleaches my skin, so I'm assuming I'm allergic to this type of toothpaste. I don't get any reaction when using a regular toothpaste, but then I don't get the benefits tootpaste for sensitive teeth provides. I'm not sure what to do and would appreciate some advice.
Does tooth whitening toothpaste work?
Is there any toothpastes which claim they whiten your teeth work??
