To the regular question of my friends and patients, "Which toothpaste do you recommend?", I always answer "Any, the important thing is that you use it."
Toothpastes are an aid in maintaining oral hygiene and the health and beauty of your teeth.
Pasti's history dates back to 3000 BC when crushed kot or eggshells were used for these purposes. It was not until the beginning of the 1873th century that the first modern pastes appeared, so that the mass production of beautifully smelling pastes began in 1892, while today's type of paste packaging, in the form of a tube, appeared as early as XNUMX.
Today's pastes consist of over ten different ingredients, from which abrasive particles, detergents and aromatic substances should be separated.
The very purpose of toothpaste is multiple.
They greatly support tooth brushing, and this is primarily due to these three separate ingredients.
Pasti's history dates back to 3000 BC when crushed kot or eggshells were used for these purposes.
Thus, abrasive particles support the removal of deposits from the teeth (dental plaque).
Plaque is a very sticky substance that forms immediately after brushing your teeth, and the formation of which is greatly facilitated by food (not to mention that it is the main "culprit" of tooth decay).
Plaque created in this way can only be removed mechanically, i.e. by scraping from the tooth surface.
This is exactly what a toothbrush does, which with its fibers, supported by the paste, removes this layer without damaging the tooth itself.
This removal is also supported by detergent substances that dissolve plaque and other deposits in water and thus enable their easier removal and rinsing.
And finally, the aromatic substances are responsible for the fresh breath and the nice smell and taste of the pastes themselves.
In addition to these substances, most of today's pastes also contain fluoride.
Its ability to reduce the possibility of tooth decay makes it an indispensable part of all prophylactic pastes.

Almost all pastes on the market have these listed ingredients.
However, some special pastes, ie. pastes for special purposes may contain other ingredients, depending on what they are intended for.
So today there are pastes for sensitive teeth, periodontitis, gum disease, etc.
