COMMERCIAL TOOTHPASTE CONTAIN VARIOUS CHEMICALS
Many commercially available toothpastes contain various chemicals. In this case, he says that the most correct and healthy thing would be to prepare your own toothpaste at home. The most valuable thing to know about making your own toothpaste is choosing the tools that will benefit your dental health the most. For a healthy mouth, home-prepared pastes can be used, but if those with tooth sensitivity, gum disease and caries proneness use special pastes sold in the market, their smoothing speed will increase.
HOW IT AFFECTS DENTAL HEALTH
There are chemical elements in toothpastes, but some of them are special elements that we cannot add to the toothpaste when we prepare it at home. These special considerations are useful for people with dental problems. For example, fluoride can prevent caries formation or repair caries in the initial stage in individuals who are prone to caries. We recommend that those who have gum disease use a special toothpaste, so that their gums get better faster. However, apart from these, individuals with a completely healthy mouth can use their own toothpaste.
TIPS FOR MAKING PRACTICAL TOOTHPASTE AT HOME
Coconut oil: Lauric acid, which is abundant in coconut, shows antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activity. For this reason, it is effective in cleaning and regulating the flora of the digestive tract, especially the mouth. It also prevents bad breath and whitens teeth.
Crushed cocoa: Believe it or not, ulku toothpaste will be chocolate toothpaste. Because the compounds in the cocoa bean promote more favorable remineralization than fluoride.
Bentonite clay: It is a natural brightener that is strong in terms of minerals and is not very abrasive. It is alkaline at the same time, so it helps reduce acidity in the mouth.
