Used to gently cleanse teeth and oral cavity, eliminate various dental problems

The liquid product Glister from the Amway company (glister amway) is a therapeutic and prophylactic agent.

In addition to the name, the label indicates “concentrated anti plaque mouthwash,” which translated means “concentrated mouthwash.”

Used to gently cleanse teeth and oral cavity, eliminate various dental problems. Due to its therapeutic effect, it is also used in other areas of medicine.

The product helps to cope with:

• with bacterial formation of a solid structure;
• with food residues and food pigments;

Pharmacology

The use of the described substance gives a soft, enveloping effect. Breath is refreshed, and the effect is very lasting.

This occurs after any meal and lasts throughout the day.

The elimination of pathogens in the oral cavity occurs gradually; over time, the elimination of bacteria ensures the healing of all inflammatory processes.

The mouthwash has a universal effect and can be used to treat inflammation in the mouth and prevent their subsequent occurrence.

Composition and active substance

The therapeutic effect and preventive effect are due to the properties of the components included in the composition:

• Proloxamer-407 is an innovative product that is widely used throughout the world in the production of medicines. The component significantly increases the absorption and solubility of other components of the rinse aid. Capable of quickly but gently breaking down plaque of any hardness and removing other deposits from the surface of teeth thanks to its cleaning properties with an ionizing effect.
• Cetylpyridinium chloride - has an antiseptic effect, has a slight surface tension, which allows access deep into the damaged tissue. The substance will easily reach the source of infection in the tonsils, lingual lacuna, where the largest number of pathogenic microbes have accumulated, eliminates inflammation, hoarseness, pain, and relieves irritability of the oral mucosa.
• Ethanol (24%) – has an inhibitory effect aimed at the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The component has proven itself in dentistry as an accelerator for the penetration of active ingredients into all tissues of the oral cavity, including bones.
• Polysorbate 20 - performs the function of an emulsifier in the Glister rinse aid. Made from vegetable fats (coconut oil, bay leaves). With regular use, it prevents dry mouth and irritation.
• Glycerin - creates a protective film on the surface, softens the effect of aggressive components, eliminates dry mouth, and activates metabolic processes.
• Menthol – extracted from mint essential oil, has a mild anesthetic effect. Good breath freshener.
• Food colorings.
• Water.

Glister toothpaste – dentist advice

Today we will talk about Glister toothpaste from Amway. People have come to me more than once with complaints of increased sensitivity and tooth decay. According to the test results, everything was normal for them. Only after some time it turned out that each of them had Glister toothpaste for daily use. I decided and I’ll try this. The first times after brushing everything was fine, but after some time the teeth suddenly became very sensitive, it was impossible to eat either cold or hot. After that, I don’t recommend Glister paste to my patients.

In general, everyone should be wary of the advertising of this miracle product; the “formula for the movement of a molecule” alone is worth it! The manufacturer promises that the paste contains vitamins, microelements and chelated calcium.

1. Firstly, this compound could never penetrate tooth enamel, since it is a compound of calcium and an amino acid.
2. Secondly, for it to have a beneficial effect, it must be absorbed in the intestines.
3. Thirdly, look at the composition of Glister toothpaste:

• Aluminum Silicate – aluminum silicate, abrasive;
• Aqua – water;
• Glycerin – glycerin to prevent the paste from drying out;
• Sorbitol – sorbitol;
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - sodium lauryl sulfate, a foaming agent, is found in almost all products from shampoos to detergents.
• Cellulose Gum – cellulose gum;
• Aroma – flavoring agent;
• Sodium Phosphate – sodium phosphate;
• Sodium Fluoride – sodium fluoride;
• Sodium Citrate – sodium citrate;
• Magnesium Aluminum Silicate - magnesium aluminum silicate, stabilizer, has an astringent effect,
• Methylparaben – methylparaben;
• Propylparaben - propylparaben;
• Sodium Saccharin – sodium saccharin;
• CI 77891, CI 42090 – dyes.

Have you noticed that there is no calcium or vitamins in the composition? Exactly the same components are included in almost any toothpaste in the low and medium price category. The manufacturer also promises that Amway Glister toothpaste will provide protection for 36 hours, replace fillings and remove plaque.

• Protection for 36 hours, why?
• Do you really plan to brush your teeth once every day and a half?

And at what cost? The paste contains a strong abrasive based on aluminum, it will simply erase all the enamel. Yes, the teeth will become whiter, but at the same time more sensitive. I advise you to treat any whitening pastes with caution. Under no circumstances should they be used constantly. Children should not use this toothpaste. Please note that Glister multifunctional toothpaste is preventative. It is suitable only for those people who have no problems with their teeth or gums. If you have gingivitis, bleeding gums or other diseases, then you need medicinal pastes, but you cannot use them all the time. To improve the condition of your gums, use mouth rinses or simply brew chamomile or oak bark. And, of course, you need to visit a dentist to find out the causes of these problems. I was very struck by the information that the paste supposedly improves brain function. And this despite the fact that it says “Do not swallow.” Ingestion of the paste can lead to food poisoning. The components of the paste will not be absorbed through the oral cavity. By the way, there are no such magical components in it anyway. Another advertising trick is the low consumption of paste, one pea per cleaning. In fact, it is better to use even half a pea of ​​paste, there is too much abrasive in it. This amount of the most ordinary paste should also be enough for one time. Glister toothpaste instructions for use: 1. apply a strip of paste 0.5 cm long to a dry toothbrush; 2. brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. Repeat 2-3 times a day. Thus, all of the above can be summarized.> Advantages of Glister toothpaste

• 1. whitens well;
• 2. economical, a small amount is enough for one cleaning;
• 3. refreshes the oral cavity;
• 4. counterfeit is completely excluded;

Cons of Glister toothpaste:

• 1. wears away enamel, leading to tooth sensitivity;
• 2. high price;
• 3. expensive follow-up treatment at the dentist.

In conclusion, I will give reviews of Glister toothpaste from my patients: Alena, 26 years old: “I brushed my teeth with this paste for six months. At first, a plaque formed on them, which could not be removed. Then erosion began in the cervical areas, sensitivity increased and gaps appeared in the enamel. I was forced to seek qualified help. I had to treat my teeth for a long time and take preventive courses.” Olga, 36 years old: “My sister gave me this paste. After some time, I noticed an increase in the sensitivity of my teeth, then they became more transparent and thinner. Then my sister’s teeth began to decay badly, and she suspected Glister. But I still continued to use it. At the next appointment, the dentist found 4 holes in me, which had never happened before, since I had good teeth. To top it off, the necks of my teeth began to become exposed. After that, I threw out the Glister toothpaste and swore off such experiments; it was better to use a proven product.” Elena, 32 years old: “We bought this very expensive toothpaste in the hope of its magical effect. What did we get? After a year of constant use, the necks of my teeth turned black, and the teeth themselves began to fall apart. Because of it, one of my husband’s teeth crumbled and a huge hole formed in the other. Glister toothpaste will no longer be available in my home."

Advantages and disadvantages

To ensure that the use of Glister does not cause harm to health, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with its advantages and disadvantages:

Possible harm from using the paste

In general, the paste contains no dangerous components that can negatively affect health. The packaging states: “Do not swallow the drug.” This item is probably intended for those people who believe in all the therapeutic properties indicated by the manufacturer on the official website.

The use of Glister is also not recommended for persons with chips and cracks on the surface of their teeth.

High abrasiveness of the gel contributes to the worsening of the problem. The annotation for the paste also states that the product is suitable for the treatment of periodontitis. Without comprehensive treatment, the use of the drug will not give the desired effect, but, on the contrary, will aggravate the problem.

About the composition

Fortunately for curious skeptics, the manufacturer described the composition in detail and with utmost honesty. There are no special formulas, secret ingredients or other “magic” in the spirit of Coca Cola. The main active ingredient is sodium fluoride. If you use toothpastes without fluoride, you have fluorosis, or there is too much fluoride in your water and food, American toothpaste is not suitable for you. If there are no problems with fluorides, read on.

However, fluorine here is 950 units (ppm), and the beneficial effect begins at 1450. That is, it is generally only for show. If you buy toothpastes with fluoride to fight bacteria that cause the development of dental and gum disease, there will be no benefit.

Composition of the Glister series

Another stone in Amway’s garden is SLS, also known as sodium lauryl sulfate. It has been said more than once that this surfactant dries out the mucous membrane and creates a lot of problems. It is better not to add it to pastes or shampoos. Amway representatives constantly say that there are no harmful chemicals in their products, and the components are grown almost in the garden of the corporation’s management.

In order to effectively remove plaque, titanium and silicon dioxides are used. The abrasive index of the paste is 110. For people with sensitive teeth and damaged enamel, this is a lot. Added xylitol to the paste. The same one that is found in modern chewing gum. It is needed to normalize the acid-base balance in the mouth.

The remaining components have nothing to do with brushing your teeth at all. They ensure the formation of foam, color it in the desired color, add taste and smell.
