The Dentist Hello, Little Beans* *The dentist's subscribers This is the dentist, Ko Kwangwook What kind of toothpaste is good to use? Please recommend us the toothpaste are what I get a lot in the comments I guess many of you are wondering what kind of toothpaste have better ingredients inside Should I say it flat out? Any type of cost-effective toothpaste that's on buy one or two get one free event is totally the option you can go with (So dismissive!) (Even I can say that!) Do you guys think that I'm being so dismissive? But there's actually a reason why I said that (All the concerns on toothpaste!) Are you ready to hear me out? (Here we go!) To start off, why do we use toothpaste? To prevent cavities The ingredients used to prevent cavities are (Ingredients inside the cavity protection toothpaste) fluorine, abrasive, and surfactant These three! Why do you think it has fluorine inside?

Streptococcus mutans consume the sugar, then excretes acid. This acid eats away at the enamel and allows tooth decay to begin. However, the fluorine improves the quality of the tooth surface, making it harder to be dissolved in acid. Almost all of the toothpaste contains 1,000 ppm of fluorine, so there's nothing much we can do about it. This is why you can go with any type of toothpaste. I heard the fluorine is toxic. The fluorine can be found even in water, which we all drink every day. Of course, it will become harmful when we over-consume it. However, just with the amount of the fluorine, no matter how often we brush our teeth every day or even unconsciously swallow it, it is almost impossible to cause a detrimental effect on our body (No need to worry about the content of fluorine). That's basically how little the content is. But I'm still worried. Isn't the low fluoride toothpaste still a better option? That's unnecessary.

Just use a little amount of toothpaste (Examples on using the fluoride toothpaste). If you reduce the amount of toothpaste to half (Kids under 3) (3-6 years old), then your fluoride consumption will basically reduce to half. There are even fluoride-free toothpastes out in the market (Safer fluoride-free toothpaste). When the brands advertise their toothpastes as fluoride-free and that is one of their fear-based marketing strategies to encourage their purchase based on the fear they get by grasping the idea that 'I'm not too sure what fluoride really is but it must be something harmful' (The Dentist). Then what about the abrasive, and the surfactant? (Food getting stuck in teeth). The purpose of brushing our teeth is to remove the food stuck in our teeth. The food will turn into a very sticky dough and get stuck in our teeth. So just brushing it won't do much. Here! the surfactant chemically breaks down the food starches. That's when the granular abrasive comes in.

and physically detach them from our teeth. Just as how we can't remove the oiliness on our plates just washing them in water. We need the dish soap and the scourer (Subscribe) to make them squeaky clean, and same goes for the tooth brushing as well. But wouldn't it make our teeth worn down? It's the wrong way of brushing teeth that causes the worn-down teeth. That happens when you brush your teeth too hard, for a long time, only on the specific area. The concentration of abrasive in toothpaste is limited, so no matter how much we brush our teeth in our lifetime, it won't be enough to wear down our teeth. The size of the particles and the amount are all limited (The Dentist). But I'm still worried that my teeth might be too much worn-down. Isn't there any low abrasive toothpaste out there? I don't think that's necessary because everything gets resolved when we use less toothpaste. Isn't the surfactant a soap? Wouldn't it be harmful to have it inside of our mouth?

(Surfactant=Emulsion) Surfactant refers to all the substances that help break up the surface tension between oil and water. Not only is it contained in the makeup products that we apply to our face, but also in the food that we eat every day. If you're just trying to find out how much goes in or what type of surfactant is used, then that's totally fine (Not true!). But arguing that all kinds of surfactant are harmful isn't right. The concentration of surfactant in toothpaste is always limited. I'm still iffy about it. I want to use a toothpaste that has less surfactant in it. (Guess what I'm about to say). If that's the case (I will be speaking facts), then just use less toothpaste from now on. In fact, you can find toothpaste that contains a natural surfactant instead out in the market, which can make you feel much at ease: fluorine, abrasive, and surfactant. All of these are essential to achieve the purpose of tooth-toothbrushing.

If there is anyone who feels leery about them, then just use less toothpaste. And if you're just totally against consuming those, then (Acting cool) you shouldn't be using the toothpaste. Just use the toothbrush only. Or instead of using the toothpaste, replace it with salt! Salt, I said! (Not cool anymore) Use the salt... (Korean Dental Folk Song, track #1-Salt Folk Song) Use the salt... Instead of using the toothpaste (Sighs) can I use salt? I know you guys, that's what you were about to comment down (Click the button if you want to know the answer for that). Then click on this icon (The Dentist). Sometimes people say it has the substance that prevents gingivitis inside, which is not true at all (Click this video out on the causes of gingivitis). I've already mentioned multiple times in my videos, but the main causes of gingivitis are dental plaque and tartar. Removing them is the only way to prevent it.

(Do not get fooled) There's no such substance that can treat or prevent gingivitis just by applying or eating. If you want to know the truth behind all the toothpaste that says 'completely treats the gum' (Click if you want to know the truth of gum disease toothpaste), then check out this video by clicking on the icon (The Dentist). I heard there is even toothpaste that can remove and curb the tartar. Just by removing the food starches will prevent you from getting the tartar. So any kind of toothpaste that has abrasive and surfactant in it has the effect of curbing the tartar. However! There's no such toothpaste that can remove hardened tartar. Not yet. So if you see one saying any of those, do not get fooled by it. Scaling is the only way to remove the hardened tartar. Let's not hope that they make your teeth wear down (No way) and call it tartar removal (The Dentist). I heard there is also toothpaste that whitens your teeth.

Yet hydrogen peroxide is a must for teeth whiteners. In fact, it requires a very high concentration of it. However, that's impossible for a toothpaste as the concentration is limited, or else our gum can be burnt. If the toothpaste were to contain the hydrogen peroxide substance, then it will probably be a very little amount. So unless you're using it constantly for a long time, we can hardly see the difference from our eyes (Coming Soon: More about tooth whitening). There's actually one functional toothpaste that really works, which is a toothpaste made particularly for sensitive teeth, such as Sensodyne or SinrinMED. We all have thin tubules called the dentinal tubules that help you feel sensations in your teeth. Inside the toothpaste for sensitive teeth, there goes in the substance that blocks the entrance of the dentinal tubules, so it actually offers lasting relief from tooth sensitivity. The elders who have receding gums or have gums that are showing the root can use the toothpaste that is for sensitive teeth.

such as Sensodyne or SirinMED to be relieved from tooth sensitivity (The Dentist). In order to prevent the toothpaste from going bad, various types of preservatives go inside as well. These preservatives are always controversial over their toxicity. There actually are some substances that are toxic and others that are overstated over their toxicity. Anyway, that's why you should just go for any toothpaste that is from the supermarket. All of the toothpaste out in the market has been tested by the MFDS for its substances, and even if the toxic substance were to be found later on, it will be publicly replaced. Again, they all go through consistent supervision, so they are fairly safer. Unlike them, different kinds of toothpaste that are out for special purposes, new, or even hard to get are most likely to be under-supervised and verified. In fact, they can be more toxic (The Dentist). So, what is the best toothpaste out of all? The answer is any kind of lower-end toothpaste that is close to your liking is okay!

You're worried about fluorine, abrasive, surfactant, preservatives, and whatnot? Then just reduce the amount of toothpaste you're using. Most of the ads show an image with a lot of toothpaste squeezed on the toothbrush, but that's because they want it to run out quicker and make us buy frequently. (The right amount of toothpaste) So you don't have to use that much toothpaste. The other day I got an email from a famous high-end toothpaste brand regarding the sponsorship in the collaboration format. They offered so much that it was close enough for paying brand model, but I'm thinking that that will be the end of such huge offer due to this video, which is sad. This was The Dentist who even gave up on the huge sponsorship offer. Bye!
