When they talk about a beautiful smile, they mean, of course, beautiful and healthy teeth. We all go to the dentist when caries or other dental problems appear. But how to properly care for your teeth at home? There are hundreds of toothpastes on the shelves of stores and pharmacies: which one should you choose? Let's listen to the opinions of dentists.

Let's start with the fact that toothpaste has several tasks: protecting teeth and gums from plaque, preventing caries, freshening breath, whitening teeth, reducing their sensitivity, and even treating some dental diseases.

Therefore, the main rule when choosing a toothpaste is to take into account your own needs, that is, the toothpaste is selected individually, to suit your problems with teeth and gums. Your dentist will help you with this.

How to choose toothpaste

All toothpastes can be divided into two main groups:

1. Hygienic.
   They cleanse the oral cavity, refresh and mineralize tooth enamel.
2. Medicinal.
   Such toothpastes, in addition to cleansing the oral cavity, also help get rid of some problems with teeth or gums.

Medicinal toothpastes should be selected according to the following criteria:

• increased sensitivity of teeth - the paste should contain special mineral complexes (primarily fluoride);
• gum disease, bleeding - look for antiseptic and anti-inflammatory components that neutralize bacteria;
• for the prevention or removal of plaque and tartar - toothpaste must contain mineral complexes, abrasive components and plant enzymes;
• toothpaste against caries - these are mineral complexes, various extracts (for example, grape seeds, etc.);
• Teeth whitening pastes help clear teeth of pigmentation and return them to their original shade.

But do not forget that toothpaste is not a treatment, but home care, which is needed as a prevention and control of existing dental problems.

Features of application

Cream for fixing dentures Lakalut has its own application characteristics . It is important to monitor how and in what quantity to apply it to the gums, for which you need to study the instructions.

Most fixation agents, including various types of adhesives, cannot be applied to wet gums or dentures. This creates additional inconvenience, since it is difficult to achieve complete dryness in the oral cavity.

It’s the same with dentures - after washing, sometimes you need to urgently attach them to the gums, but they haven’t dried yet.

Such problems do not arise with Lakalut cream; its peculiarity is that this product can be used for application to damp structures.

They just need to be blotted with a clean paper towel, after which you can safely apply the fixing cream.

Instructions for use

To securely secure dentures to your teeth, you need to adhere to some rules for using the cream:

• Before fixing the prosthesis in the oral cavity, it is necessary to thoroughly clean it of food debris, plaque and any other contaminants.
• The denture should be rinsed under water. It is better if it is flowing. This ensures that microparticles are washed out of the recesses of the prosthesis.
• Apply the cream to the dental structure (sometimes it is applied like glue - in a dotted line).
• The denture is placed on the gum and pressed firmly so that the fixation agent is evenly distributed under the denture, securing it.
  It is necessary to press for approximately 20 seconds. If there is a lot of cream and it spreads over the gums, you need to carefully collect the excess with a paper napkin to prevent an overdose of the product.
• After installing the prosthesis in the oral cavity, you should refrain from eating for 10-20 minutes.
• After completing the application procedure, you need to tightly close the tube with the cream so that as little air and moisture as possible get in there.

Patients are not always able to correctly calculate the amount of product needed to secure the dentures. Sometimes the dental structure fits so tightly to the gum that it is very difficult to remove.

In order not to disrupt the integrity of the mucous membranes in the oral cavity, the denture should be removed carefully. Most often, after 12-16 hours, the cream begins to lose its fixation ability.

After the time required for the active substances of the drug to be absorbed, the prosthesis will fall off on its own. Sometimes this may take a whole day.

Duration of action

Lakalut cream retains its effect on fixing the prosthesis for up to 24 hours , so it can be safely used in the morning, with the expectation that the dentures will not come off until the evening.

Storage

The product must be used before the expiration date, which is indicated on the cardboard packaging and on the tube itself. After the specified date, it cannot be used, even if more than half of the liquid mass remains.

In order for the cream to be preserved for a long time, you need to avoid drying it out (which is possible if you do not close the lid in time) and protect the tube from moisture. The drug should be stored out of the reach of children.

Parodontax Classic

Parodontax is a therapeutic toothpaste for gum problems. If you notice that your gums are bleeding while brushing or flossing, don't wait to see your dentist. He will find out the cause and recommend toothpaste to strengthen the gums - in particular, Parodontax. This paste effectively cleans plaque along the gums, making them adhere more tightly to the teeth. Parodontax paste contains sodium bicarbonate, which helps in the prevention and treatment of gum diseases. But remember that the course of treatment with Parodontax paste is no more than two weeks.

Children's series

Let's look at several oral care gels from Dr. Theiss Naturwaren Gmbh, which are designed to care for children's teeth:

Baby. Can be used by children under 4 years old and has a pleasant raspberry taste. The drug is suitable for daily use by children and is safe if accidentally swallowed. Instead of fluoride, the drug contains amino fluorides - substances that have a gentle and gentle effect on the mucous membranes of the mouth. The approximate cost of the product is 165 rubles.

Kidz is a paste for children aged 4–8 years. The product takes into account all the features of a milk bite, which is gradually replaced by a permanent one. It contains high-quality abrasive (silicon dioxide), which does not react chemically with fluorine. The cost of a 50 ml tube of paste varies from 140 to 170 rubles. To increase the effect of hygiene procedures, the manufacturer has additionally developed a mouth rinse, which is similar in composition to Lakalut Kidz paste.

Elmex Protection against caries

How to brush your teeth correctly

Lakalut Active

So, the Active series includes 3 toothpastes:

• Lacalut Active;
• Lacalut Active Herbal;
• Lacalut Aktiv intensive cleansing.

Lacalut Aktiv toothpaste is positioned as a preventative agent that protects against periodontitis, strengthens the gums, reduces their bleeding, and at the same time prevents the development of caries.

Thus, Lakalut Active toothpaste is intended primarily for problem gums, and can act as both a preventive and therapeutic agent.

The photo below shows the composition of Lakalut Active toothpaste:

The composition shows that the main anti-inflammatory components are aluminum lactate, bisabolol and allantoin. In such a triple combination it’s a pretty good option.

It is also useful to read: Whitening toothpastes from Thailand and reviews of their use

It is also worth paying attention to the presence of a powerful antibacterial component - chlorhexidine. The fact is that too long-term use of powerful antiseptics can lead to dysbiosis of the oral cavity (in fact, this is the same thrush, the only difference being that it develops in the mouth). Perhaps this is why the manufacturer recommends using Lakalut Active paste only in courses (30-60 days).

Separately, it is worth noting the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate in the composition, around which there has recently been a lot of talk about its “terrible” harm to human health: this compound is credited with almost carcinogenic properties. However, most of the dangers are greatly exaggerated, but this substance, apparently, can still contribute to stomatitis, so it is strange that the manufacturer has not replaced this substance with an alternative.

Thus, by purchasing Lakalut Active toothpaste, the consumer receives a wide range of therapeutic and preventive effects:

• Antiseptic;
• Anticarious;
• Anti-inflammatory;
• Hemostatic;
• Increased resistance of tooth enamel to acids (due to fluorides);
• Strengthening the enamel structure (also due to fluorides);
• It also reduces the painful sensitivity of teeth and gums.

According to studies (and reviews from people), after about 1-2 days of use, Lakalut Active toothpaste can reduce bleeding gums.

The second product of the Active series is Lacalut Aktiv Herbal: based on the paste described above, but with the addition of herbal extracts (chamomile, eucalyptus, star anise, thyme, sage, myrrh, mint and fennel). Thus, the anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties of this product can be considered more pronounced.

And the third product in the series - Lacalut Aktiv Intensive cleansing - with a high content of surfactants that cleanse plaque from teeth. It is also characterized by higher foaming.

Review

“I have been struggling with bleeding gums for many years, but pastes have never given the expected effect. Recently, a dentist recommended Lakalut active toothpaste, although the price surprised me a little, it was still a bit high, but I decided to try it. For the therapeutic effect I give it a five plus, it really heals the gums, I stopped spitting out blood in the morning. But there is one “but”. Immediately after brushing your teeth, your mouth remains dry, even your teeth seem dry. You have to rinse several times to get rid of this feeling. I decided for myself that I would use it only for treatment.”

ROCS PRO Moisturizing Moisturizing

ROCS PRO Moisturizing Moisturizing toothpaste contains bromelain, a plant enzyme that effectively removes pigmented plaque on enamel and prevents its formation. This toothpaste is recommended for those who suffer from excessive dry mouth. Xerostomia (this is what dry mouth is called) contributes to the appearance of caries, causes problems with gums, stomatitis, etc. Due to insufficient saliva production, the mineralization of teeth also worsens. The special composition ROCS PRO Moisturizing improves the situation with moisture in the mouth, stimulating the secretion of saliva, and forms a special protective film on the mucous membrane. This low-abrasive toothpaste contains no surfactants or aggressive substances. But in general, some ROCS toothpastes may contain SLS, so read the ingredients carefully.

Lacalut baby pastes

Children's teeth are much more sensitive to both environmental influences and hygiene products. Therefore, Lacalut specialists have developed a special line of pastes for children, each of which is intended for different age categories: from 0 to 4, from 4 to 8 and from 8 to 12 years.

“Lakalut” is a brand of toothpaste whose manufacturers make sure that children can use hygiene products not only as efficiently and safely as possible, but also with pleasure. Products for babies do not contain allergens, the amount of fluoride in them is 6 times lower than in “adult” toothpastes, they do not cause discomfort or burning during cleaning, and have a pleasant taste and aroma.

This is perhaps the most important thing that Lakalut children's toothpaste can boast of. Reviews from parents confirm that with the purchase of certain products, the cleaning process has become much easier; the child no longer has to be literally forced into the bathroom.

Curaprox Enzycal 1450

Therapeutic and prophylactic toothpaste Curaprox Enzycal 1450 effectively fights caries and saturates the enamel with minerals. The paste contains substances that improve the state of local immunity, destroy pathogenic bacteria, clean teeth as much as possible and remineralize enamel. Curaprox Enzycal 1450 toothpaste contains 0.145 ppm of fluoride (bioavailable) - this, according to WHO recommendations, is enough to protect teeth from caries (and fluoride is the most reliable method of caries prevention). Curaprox Enzycal 1450 toothpaste contains special enzymes that improve the protective properties of saliva and eliminate pigmentation on teeth. The paste does not contain parabens and SLS, and also serves as a prevention of oral dysbacteriosis. Among the disadvantages are the price of the paste and the presence of cow's milk proteins, so allergy sufferers need to be careful.

In what cases is it suitable?

Not all patients can consult a doctor in time when they are bothered by tooth pain or chewing function is impaired.

If the doctor recommends removable structures for various reasons, they must be fixed in some way so as not to be lost during chewing. This is what fixing creams are for.

Lakalut cream is suitable if removable or partially removable dentures are used . It cannot be used to secure metal structures or other orthodontic appliances to teeth.

Sensodyne Instant effect

Sensodyne “Instant Effect” medicated toothpaste has a pleasant taste and effectively combats the problem of increased sensitivity of tooth enamel. To get rid of tooth sensitivity, dentists recommend not only brushing your teeth with Sensodyne toothpaste in the morning and evening, but also periodically applying the paste after brushing so that it penetrates deeper into the enamel. Sensodyne gently cleanses teeth and helps restore the oral mucosa. According to reviews from those who use Sensodyne paste, the first improvements occur literally on the third to fifth day of use. Toothpaste contains the optimal level of fluoride (0.145 ppm). Sensodyne can be used by children from 12 years of age to prevent caries. The price of this paste is quite affordable. There are few disadvantages: the paste is runny and does not form enough foam.

INNOVA Intensive restoration and brightening of enamel

Advantages and disadvantages

Cream Lakalut Dent has its advantages :

• Protects gums from various inflammatory processes. This problem is solved due to the uniform distribution of the drug under the prosthesis, which prevents food from penetrating into the cracks and creating a breeding ground for bacteria.
• The product protects against chafing and damage to the inner lining of the oral cavity.
  The consistency of the cream helps create a soft and elastic layer between the denture and the gum, which makes it possible to fix the structure for a long time (up to a day) and prevent impact on the mucous membrane.
• When using the cream, a person does not suffer from changes in bite, chewing function improves, and the position of the jaw remains the same.
• Although the fixative has a menthol aroma, it does not affect the taste sensations while eating.
• Within 5 minutes after applying the cream, you can use the structure for its intended purpose.
• The product is available because it has a low price.

Many patients worry about how to remove the denture in the evening. The composition of the cream is selected so that the mass dissolves during the day, allowing you to remove the dentures without difficulty.
