Toothpastes

Alongside toothbrushes, toothpastes are the most common and best-known aids of daily oral hygiene. Toothpastes contain a combination of many different ingredients, such as surfactants, fluorides, abrasives, plant extracts, antibacterial additives and much more

Special toothpastes for children, with a lower fluoride content, or for patients whose flow of saliva is reduced because of medication, or who suffer from sensitive tooth necks, round off the very wide range

The abrasives in toothpastes clean and polish the teeth. Discoloration, deposits from smoking and soft coatings are removed by these abrasive particles. Depending on their size (grain, RDA value), combined with a wrong brushing technique (scrubbing), the hard tooth substance can be damaged. Surfactants create foam and support the cleaning effect. Fluorides promote the remineralisation of the teeth; plant extracts have an anti-inflammatory effect

The prevention specialists at dental practices give individual recommendations for suitable toothpastes
