Your toothpaste tube is empty. It’s time to restock on toothpaste. Our dentist and team are happy to give you some tips about the different types of toothpastes available and some general things to look for. Overall, we encourage you to purchase the toothpaste that best suits your needs.
Fluoride Toothpaste
Fluoride is added to many toothpastes because it helps protect the teeth from decay. Dr. Warren Cheung recommends fluoride toothpaste for all of his patients. You can especially benefit from fluoride toothpaste if have dry mouth.
Toothpaste for Children
If you are toothpaste shopping for your child, pick something fun and exciting! There are many children’s toothpastes available with fun colors, sparkles, and flavors. If your child is under the age of two, we suggest choosing a toothpaste that is safe to swallow.
Tartar-Control Toothpaste
Plaque that is left on the teeth can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. You’ll want to prevent tartar as much as possible, as excess tartar can cause gum disease. If tartar builds up quickly on your teeth, you may want to consider purchasing toothpaste with tartar control.
Whitening Toothpaste
Some toothpastes fight dental stains with bleaching agents like baking soda or peroxide. Talk to our dentist in Elk Grove, California, today to find out which brands of whitening toothpaste are the safest.
