Remote Health Care

Only water can be despite heavy rubbing hands dirty get clean, but water plus soap works wonders. When the teeth is no different: The toothpaste massively supported the tooth cleaning with the brush and also contains materials for the dental care, sometimes bacteria killing substances and additives for the pleasant smell and taste make. The main ingredients of a good toothpaste
- Surfactants (foam-forming, wash-active substances) ensure that the ingredients in the cleaning everywhere reach out can. They shall also encourage the removal of plaque.
- Abrasive materials , similar to the scouring of sand (but much gentler!) Scrub away dirt. The fear of being attacked too funny Plaster block in the toothpaste is also usually unfounded. An investigation of the Stiftung Test products has shown that in all the pastes investigated Plaster block sufficiently mild for healthy teeth are. After all, the tooth enamel due to its hardness very resilient. Problems can only exist where the sensitive dentine (dentine) EXPOSED, for example, by false Tooth cleaning technology or age-related inflammation.
- Fluorides store the chemical element fluorine in tooth enamel that is it harder and against chemical attacks from resistant bacteria, and thus prevents caries. Indeed, the decay in recent years, thanks to fluoridated toothpaste significantly. Up to 1500 milligrams per kilogram of fluoride toothpaste in Germany are legally permitted. Meanwhile contain loud Stiftung Warentest 95 percent of all toothpaste sold in Germany fluorides.
Specialty pasta and Bleaching: Towards a super white teeth?
For heavy smokers, coffee or tea drinkers may differ over time, ugly and annoying brown on yellow pads from the teeth. They are characterized by normal tooth brushing difficult to eliminate. Therefore, the industry specific toothpaste with “white-maker” effect, and the advertisement says sometimes wonder things like this. But the Stiftung Warentest, warned in 1997: “Do not promise too much from the white toothpaste-maker.” So no white teeth out of the tube?
The effect of these toothpastes due primarily to the fact that the contained Plaster block are stronger than in conventional Dental pastas. The so-called “wear” on the teeth will be significantly increased. Those with exposed dental necks can cause severe damage to the dentine, because dentine (dentine) is much softer than enamel. Even dentures can be damaged. Ask your dentist, therefore, better, before you use such products. Better sound and is in such cases, a professional tooth cleaning in practice.
Even more true for OTC tooth bleaching. They contain chemical bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide and would therefore lighten the teeth. It refers to the with the English word “bleaching” (bleach). That may well work, but it should be because of possible side effects alone in the dental practice.
The dentist is also the right partner when teeth through injuries, through the ingestion of specific drugs or by the normal aging process have discolored. Toothpastes are usually powerless.
Flavor in colorful Tube: Children toothpaste
The usual adult toothpastes for young children are less suitable. This is in part due to their taste, the children often do not appreciate. Above all, however, infants are often happy to swallow a portion of the toothpaste. Thus it is not too much fluoride in the body include children’s toothpastes have a reduced fluoride content. This is of course also reduces the caries protection. Once the children reliably spit out – for example from the sixth or seventh year of life – you should therefore take an adult toothpaste.
