CHOOSING THE RIGHT TOOTHPASTE
Whitening action
Over time, dental plaque develops. Elements such as tea, coffee and tobacco can stain teeth. To prevent this, there are several natural ingredients that can be combined in a toothpaste formula for teeth whitening. One of the most common grandmotherly remedies is the use of baking soda to whiten teeth.
Coslys Toothpaste Whiteness and care uses this ingredient. It is also free of titanium dioxide and fluoride.
It goes without saying that you should avoid “blue” toothpastes that give you a whiter-than-white smile in record time. All these toothpastes use Blue Light technology. This consists of millions of blue particles that are deposited on the enamel to neutralise colours other than white. So no deep action, just pixie dust!
The plant-based Charcoal Toothpaste uses charcoal to gently polish the teeth to remove stains. This charcoal from French pine trees also helps to clean the oral cavity.
SENSITIVE TEETH
Does going from hot to cold (or vice versa) cause you dental pain?
Then you have sensitive teeth! This sensitivity develops because the enamel of your teeth has eroded and/or because your gums no longer cover the roots of your teeth sufficiently. To regain comfort, you need to choose a suitable composition.
We avoid washing bases with sulphates and prefer healing and soothing active ingredients such as propolis and aloe vera. Coslys Gel Toothpaste – mint-flavoured – sensitive teeth & gums combines all these ingredients. Don’t forget that the choice of your toothbrush can be important. Always choose a toothbrush with soft bristles. There are some made of recycled plastic, such as the Préserve brand, which has been ergonomically designed by dentists to make it easier to hold.
FOR A COMPLETE AND HEALTHY PROTECTION
If you do not have any particular problems, you should turn to a toothpaste with a global action: by promoting the remineralisation of your tooth enamel, it helps to fight against dental plaque and to strengthen your teeth. This action, which will ultimately also allow you to remove tartar, can be achieved through the presence of fluoride. Fluoride is sometimes considered to be an ingredient to be avoided because in high doses it can be toxic. However, the correct use of fluoride toothpaste does not pose any health risks. Check the amount of fluoride in the product, rinse your mouth well and avoid fluoride toothpaste for children under 7 years old.
Remember to read the ingredients to avoid triclosan: this ingredient with an antibacterial function is particularly used in conventional toothpastes (prohibited in the cosmebio specifications). In June 2017, 200 scientists signed an appeal on the dangers of this suspected endocrine disruptor ingredient.
Coslys Fluoride Toothpaste gel really does act in a comprehensive way. It also has the advantage of being Vegan and Titanium Dioxide free. With its orange fragrance and therefore mint-free, it is perfectly suited to people on a homeopathic diet.
COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS
It is also very interesting to use a mouthwash from time to time. This will act where the toothbrush does not go. This interdental cleaning in the most difficult to reach places also helps to fight against dental plaque and prevent the appearance of cavities.
If you have problems with bad breath, otherwise known as halitosis, there are several possible causes. A dental infection or ENT complications when this happens exceptionally. When it is a regular problem, it is advisable to check the proper functioning of the digestive system, as it may be due to liver failure. As an emergency solution, you can use the Fresh Breath Spray, which is small and very practical to carry around.
In any case, toothpaste and tooth brushing are essential for good oral hygiene. This way you will find a cleaner, fresher and visibly healthy mouth.
