Toothpaste without fluoride

Recently, more and more dentists are talking about the harm caused by toothpastes, which include fluoride. How to choose the right care for your teeth? The list of toothpastes without fluoride is particularly small when compared with counterparts containing this chemical element. Let's take a look at it.

What causes excess fluoride in toothpaste?

Elements containing fluorine are called fluorides - they are of organic origin. A certain amount of them is contained in the crust, water and plants. In this case, fluorides are considered to be substances of the second degree of toxicity. It is due to this property that they kill harmful bacteria and microorganisms that are involved in the formation of caries. But besides this, fluorides also adversely affect the microflora of the oral cavity and, over time, thin the walls of the enamel.

With constant use of fluoride-based toothpaste, yellowish and brownish spots may appear on the teeth. This phenomenon in dentistry is called fluorosis. Over time, the teeth that are prone to this disease become more fragile, crumble, or even their complete loss.

To avoid such effects, fluoride toothpaste can be used no more than 1-2 times a week. Its one-time volume should not exceed the size of a small pearl. Not every adult can control the amount of toothpaste used, let alone young children. Many kids, tempted by strawberry flavor, are ready to eat toothpaste with spoons. In this regard, fluoride-containing pastes are prohibited for children under 5 years.

Also, the use of toothpastes, which include fluoride, should be limited to people living in places where there are many industrial enterprises.

Before buying, carefully study the composition of toothpaste. It should not include the following components:

• triclosan;
• sodium lauryl sulfate;
• aluminum fluoride;
• parabens;
• tin fluoride.
