The best toothpastes and mouth rinses

A snow-white smile and healthy teeth are important aspects of a person’s perception, so oral care must be thorough and correct. In this article we will look at the best toothpastes and rinses for various problems with the teeth and oral cavity.

Whitening pastes

Toothpastes with a whitening effect can be of different types, the main ones being pastes that neutralize surface pigments from teeth, and pastes whose action is based on the use of active oxygen. The former remove soft plaque, pigment and dye, and such pastes may contain abrasive and polishing substances, as well as enzymes that destroy pigment and bacterial plaque. Examples of such pastes are LACALUT White, PRESIDENT White Plus, REMBRANDT - Anti-tobacco and coffee, and SPLAT whitening Plus.

Toothpastes, the action of which is based on the use of active oxygen, contain components that are derivatives of carbamide peroxide. This substance decomposes under the influence of saliva, releasing active oxygen, which penetrates deep into the dental tissue and helps achieve a stronger whitening effect. Examples of such pastes include REMBRANDT plus, SPLAT extreme White, and ROCS PRO toothpaste-gel - Oxygen whitening.

Toothpastes for sensitive teeth

Sensitive teeth can react painfully to temperature, chemical and mechanical stimuli. Toothpastes for sensitive teeth should be low abrasive and contain ingredients such as potassium nitrate, potassium chloride, strontium chloride, hydroxyapatite and higher dosages of fluorides (sodium fluoride or amino fluoride). Examples of such pastes are LACALUT Extra Sensitive, PRESIDENT Sensitive, and SENSODYNE F.

Toothpaste for periodontal disease and bleeding gums

If you have periodontal disease and bleeding gums, you should use special toothpastes that will help reduce inflammation, swelling, redness, or, conversely, blueness of the gums and their bleeding. Examples of such pastes are LACALUT aktiv, Parodontax and Parodontax F, and Forest Balm for bleeding gums.

Mouth rinses

Mouth rinses are an important addition to toothpastes and can be anti-caries or anti-inflammatory. Anti-caries rinses contain calcium or fluoride, which improve the mineralization of tooth enamel and prevent the development of caries. Examples of such rinses include LISTERINE Total Care, LISTERINE Smart Rinse, and Colgate Plax.

Anti-inflammatory mouthwashes contain antiseptic agents that kill bacteria in the mouth and reduce gum inflammation. Examples of such rinses include Corsodyl, LISTERINE Advanced Defense Gum Treatment, and Chlorhexidine.

In addition, there are breath fresheners that may contain menthol, eucalyptus, tea tree oil and other aromatics. Examples of such rinses include LISTERINE Freshburst, LISTERINE Cool Mint, and Colgate Plax Fresh Tea.

No matter what toothpastes and rinses you choose, it is important to remember that regularity and proper oral care are key to achieving healthy teeth and gums. It is recommended to brush your teeth twice a day, use dental floss and mouthwash, and visit your dentist for checkups and teeth cleanings.
