Healthy teeth are more than just a beautiful smile. They also are a key to the health of your digestive system. That is why proper oral hygiene is so important. Fortunately, today there is a wide selection of oral care products such as toothpastes, dental floss, teeth whiteners, breath fresheners, mouthwashes and others.
Modern manufacturers offer a lot of various dental and oral care products to suit any taste and any budget. Of course, each manufacturer claims that their products are effective and good for your health. Unfortunately, ingredients contained in some of these products prove them wrong. Which ingredients should you avoid in oral care products?
A lot of mass market toothpastes and tooth gels contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). It is a surfactant widely used in hygiene and cleaning products. SLS is used in toothpastes for its ability to create a lather (foam) and its surfactant properties. Due to its low cost and lack of impact on taste, very few toothpastes contain a surfactant other than sodium lauryl sulfate.
SLS is obtained by chemical synthesis. First, lauryl alcohol is treated with chlorosulfic acid, oleum, or sulfur trioxide gas to produce hydrogen lauryl sulfate. The resulting product is neutralised with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. Like most chemical surfactants, SLS can cause skin, eye and mucous membrane irritation, especially in highly sensitive individuals. And if you regularly brush your teeth using an SLS-containing paste, SLS can accumulate in you body, which is not useful at all.
Unlike their mass market counterparts, organic and natural dental care products do not contain any harmful ingredients. They consist of 100% natural plant ingredients that provide effective dental and oral care. Natural and organic toothpastes effectively prevent caries (tooth decay), combat gum bleeding, dental plaque and bad breath. And it should be noted that they cope with these tasks not worse or even better than your regular toothpastes.
Lack of chemical ingredients in organic and natural oral hygiene products makes them completely safe. Such toothpastes and other products are suitable for children of different ages, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and other individuals who are especially vulnerable to the influence of chemical ingredients in oral care products.
What are the most common tooth and oral cavity problems that can be solved with the help of organic and natural toothpastes, tooth gels, mouthwashes and other products? Due to the high content of natural herbal extracts, essential oils and other plant ingredients organic dental care products effectively strengthen your gums and tooth enamel, clean the tooth surface from plaque, prevent periodontosis and other tooth and gum diseases, freshen your breath, etc.
