Well, you should only use less toothpaste if it turns out you are using too much. In general, we find that patients use more than is required for a healthy smile. When you brush your teeth (which should happen in the morning time and then for a second time when you are about to get into bed), use a pea-size serving. Don’t trust what you see on television or in ads. It doesn’t take a lot for successful dental hygiene.
You probably know this but it is worth explaining. We suggest you use fluoridated toothpaste because fluoride provides your oral health with advantages like decay prevention and strength. However, swallowing your fluoridated toothpaste can lead to severe gastrointestinal problems. Do your best to spit while you brush and then rinse with just a bit of water when you’re through.
Do you think you may have gingivitis? Are you upset that your teeth are stained? If you need toothpaste for anything more than daily dental hygiene, it is time to give us a call. What, then, should you make of toothpaste with features like whitening, tartar control, or gingivitis formula? These are all preventive features. If you’re already experiencing a problem, your toothpaste won’t help. Only professional care can repair the issue.
