WHAT TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN CHOOSING TOOTHPASTE
- Dentist in Antalya Turkey. explained what is curious about whitening toothpastes; he gave information about what to consider when choosing whitening toothpaste.
.
- The primary goal of today’s aesthetic dentistry in Turkey is to achieve healthy, white and more attractive smile. Many studies in recent years have shown that a large proportion of patients are dissatisfied with the color of their teeth and have a desire for whiter teeth. This has also increased the demand for teeth whitening products.
.
- In order to obtain whiter teeth in Turkey dentistry, many different methods are used, such as tooth stone cleaning, office and home whitening treatments, porcelain laminas and veneers, and whitening toothpastes.
.
- Currently, there is a significant increase in the use of over the counter (over-the-counter product). Over the counter (OTC) products are a method of whitening with products that patients use by purchasing from grocery stores and pharmacies without the control of the best dentists in Turkey.
.
- For this purpose, whitening tapes, toothpastes, dental floss, mouthwashes, gums and varnishes are used. Although some of the products used for this purpose are effective, the use of these products can sometimes cause problems, since they are outside the control of the Turkish dentist.
.
- Whitening toothpastes are relatively more reliable products in relatively OTC. With whitening toothpastes and different formulations in their content, both effective cleaning and effective whiteness are expected. According to the content of whitening toothpastes; they are classified as abrasive ingredients, chemical whitening agent ingredients, optical properties and activated carbon ingredients.
. - Toothpastes containing abraziv particles are often used to remove external coloration and prevent it from occurring again. Daily use of pastes with Abraziv content removes chromophores that cause tooth coloring, thereby reducing adhesion to the surface of the tooth and thus coloration.
. - As the size of the abrasive particles in the paste content increases, they noted that the effectiveness of abrasiveness and stain removal will also increase. Whitening toothpastes with chemical content prevent coloring by chemically changing the pigments that color the teeth. Whitening toothpastes with optical properties have an effect thanks to their pigment content, such as ‘blue covarin’.
. - After brushing, a blue, thin, semi-transparent film layer accumulates on the surface of the tooth. With this thin film layer and light interaction, the teeth appear whiter and brighter. Recently, active carbon content whitening toothpastes are also often used. Coal in toothpastes released to the market today is a fine powder form of oxidized activated charcoal.
. - As well as products containing fluorite, there are also whitening toothpastes with activated carbon content that do not contain fluorine. It is necessary to investigate the inactivating effect of coal on fluorine and its anti-caries effectiveness. There is a need for scientific studies in which the effectiveness of activated carbon-containing toothpastes is evaluated. In the literature, it has been stated that the addition of abraziv (abrasive) content such as hydrated silica to toothpastes with chemical agent content increases the effectiveness of whitening.
. - Relative Dentine abrasiveness (RDA) (relative dentin abrasiveness) is used to indicate the abrasiveness of toothpastes. Abrasive content is important for the Turkey oral removal of stains and removal of coloration. But the amount of abrasive content in toothpastes should be kept at a safe level to avoid damage to the teeth.
. - The International Standards Organization (ISO) has stated that the RDA value of toothpaste should not exceed 250. The RDA value of whitening toothpastes ranges from 60-100 (16) or higher than 100
.
WHAT KIND OF DENTAL PRODUCTS SHOULD YOU PREFER?
.
At present, when dental abrasions are often observed, dentists recommend toothpaste with a low RDA value and a minimum abrasive property to their patients. It has been noted that low-abrasive toothpastes will be less effective in removing coloration. But when evaluating the effect of toothpaste on preventing coloration (whitening), it is necessary to evaluate not only abrasives, but also the entire content of the paste together.
