7 Things You Didn't Know About Toothpaste!

As we all know there are many different types of toothpaste out on the market! But did you know there are things you need to know about toothpaste?

• It’s all about the fluoride- when buying toothpaste look for the one with added fluoride.
• Look for the seal of approval- when looking for toothpaste look for the ADA seal before purchasing.
• Whitening toothpaste works—at least to a certain degree- All toothpaste contains mild abrasives to help remove surface stains on your teeth, but toothpaste does not contain bleach, so you will not get that professional look.
• Less is more- Most people pile on the toothpaste, I know I do! But did you know actually less is better? All you need is a pea-sized amount!
• How you brush is more important than what you brush with- when brushing your teeth you need to brush at a 45-degree angle, and brush in a circular motion!
• What’s inside your toothpaste might surprise you- some ingredients inside your toothpaste are seaweed and detergents. This is how they get your toothpaste to foam.
• Pastes or gels—they all do the trick- they both work equally!
