You floss, and brush twice a day, and make sure you never skip a day of your dental routine.
At Dr. DiStefano’s office, we want to help you take great care of your teeth in between checkups and save you time at the store. Take a look at some of the different categories of toothpaste listed below to figure out what kind will work best for you!
Different Types Of Toothpaste:
- Whitening Toothpaste: Almost every brand you’re familiar with offers a different type of whitening toothpaste. Be careful when you purchase this type – some products contain harsh materials to scrub away surface stains! Whitening toothpaste can cause sensitivity and is not recommended for people under the age of 18. If you want to whiten your teeth with toothpaste, talk to your family dentist in Howell, Michigan for safer, cheaper options!
- Sensitivity Toothpaste: Some people experience discomfort when drinking hot or cold foods. If you have this problem, consider getting toothpaste that’s made for sensitivity! This specially formulated toothpaste is less abrasive than regular toothpastes.
- Children’s Toothpaste: Many brands make toothpastes especially for kids that are specially formulated. These toothpastes can be swallowed (just in case your child accidentally swallows while brushing) and comes in kid-friendly flavors that contain less fluoride.
- Tartar Control: This type of toothpaste contains ingredients that work to break down plaque that has already formed on the teeth before it hardens. This toothpaste can be used as a preventative measure for people who are prone to developing tartar.
If you still have questions about what type of toothpaste you should be using, contact your family dentist in Howell, Michigan!
Let us know during your next checkup. We may be able to give you a sample of specialty toothpaste, or suggest which type would best suit your needs.
