Many patients have asked our dentist at Radiance Family & Cosmetic Dentistry which toothpaste is the best at improving and maintaining their dental hygiene. After years of testing various toothpastes, Dr. Taylor has determined that the CariFree CTx4 Gel 1100 toothpaste is the best toothpaste for better dental hygiene.
Not All Toothpastes Deliver Equal Results
For those without a background in dental care, it can seem like all toothpastes are the same. While the various toothpastes perform the same function of cleaning the user’s teeth, some are definitely better than others. Some key things you should look for in a good toothpaste are:
- Low-abrasion – While many people think an abrasive toothpaste is needed to clean the teeth properly, scouring your teeth with an abrasive agent can strip off some of the enamel of your teeth. A soft bristle toothbrush and low-abrasion toothpaste are important to keep from damaging the enamel of the teeth.
- Fluoride – Teeth can greatly benefit from remineralization, as our nutrition and lifestyle can leech the minerals out of our teeth. To help strengthen your teeth, toothpaste with fluoride is important to add minerals back to your teeth.
- Neutralizing agents – Many of the foods and drinks we like to consume on a daily basis contain acidic ingredients. The acid in these foods and drinks have a high ability to weaken and eventually damage teeth, so it is important to look for a toothpaste which neutralizes acid decay.
CTx4 Gel 1100 Toothpaste Offers Best Daily Dental Care
The CariFree CTx4 Gel 1100 toothpaste has all the above qualities and more, which is why Dr. Taylor likes to recommend this toothpaste after a dental cleaning. Some of the people who can best benefit from this toothpaste are people who:
- Have dental decay
- Are 3 years old and up
- Struggle with halitosis (bad breath)
- Have dental sensitivity
- Are undergoing extensive dental treatments
- Struggle with dry mouth
- Prone to high bacterial loads
While this toothpaste has a higher price than other toothpaste options at $16 for a 2 fl oz tube, the CTx4 Gel 1100 toothpaste is highly effective, making the price more worthwhile.
