Different Types of Toothpaste<\/h3>\n\n- Anti-cavity<\/strong> — A majority of options will contain fluoride. It adds a layer of protection to your teeth. Can be harmful if swallowed regularly.<\/li>\n

- Sensitive Formula<\/strong> — Best if you experience pain \/ discomfort when eating and drinking hot or cold foods and drinks.<\/li>\n
- Anti-gingivitis<\/strong> — Helps reduce oral bacteria and can be very effective at stopping gingivitis at its source.<\/li>\n
- Whitening<\/strong> — These are common, but aren\u2019t the safest option. They usually contain abrasive ingredients and can wear down enamel.<\/li>\n
- Natural<\/strong> — Contain only natural ingredients like bamboo, stevia extracts, baking soda and peppermint oil<\/li>\n
- For Kids<\/strong> — Training toothpastes are designed to be swallowed. Children\u2019s formula is best for older kids, as it typically has less fluoride and kid flavors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note About Fluoride<\/h3>\n\n- Receiving increasing scrutiny in recent years<\/li>\n
- Benefits of fluoride coding can be eliminated by chewing<\/li>\n
- Children can swallow more to face what is recommended for an entire day from all sources.<\/li>\n
- Be sure to ask your dentist<\/a> for their thoughts on fluoride.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

While some people prefer to avoid this mineral, toothpaste is a good way to expose your teeth to a little fluoride without ingesting it into your system.
