Features of Thai tooth whitening pastes
Hygienic care using Thai toothpastes is an effective preventative against various dental problems.
An analysis of existing care products on trading platforms shows that Thai products are very popular.
The main advantage of pastes is the natural origin of the active ingredients, their healing properties, which effectively eliminate various problems of oral tissues.
Thai products are distinguished by an unusual combination of composition, denser consistency, herbal aroma and rich flavor tones.
Packaging is carried out in tubes and small round jars.
The peculiarity of oral hygiene products from Thailand is the following characteristics:
- the natural composition ensures high-quality teeth cleaning, prevents the growth of stone and plaque accumulation;
- active components penetrate tissues, improve blood circulation, which stimulates biochemical processes;
- useful microelements strengthen the enamel structure.
Hygienic care using Thai toothpastes is an effective preventative against various dental problems.
Criticism of Thai pastas
It would be unfair to remain silent about the shortcomings of Thai pastes. And, oddly enough, the composition of the products is the first to be criticized. The fact is that natural substances that have not undergone special treatment have a great power that has a destructive effect on tooth enamel. As a result, it turns out that in order to achieve an aesthetic effect, the health of the teeth and oral cavity deteriorates.
But we also rightly note that such negative consequences are possible only due to improper use of teeth cleaning products. Each package of a quality product contains detailed instructions that the consumer must follow when using toothpastes from Thailand. But we will return to this moment a little later.
Another reproach is related to the fact that Thai manufacturers do not indicate all components on the label; in particular, the content of artificial substances is kept silent. It turns out that the consumer does not know the whole truth about how and what tooth powder from Thailand is made of. In addition, even in the fully indicated composition there are ingredients whose effectiveness has not been researched and scientifically proven. Here, as they say, each buyer uses the product at his own peril and risk. If you doubt that the toothpaste you purchased is right for you, or if you feel negative changes in your mouth, be sure to stop using it and consult your dentist.
Main components of the compositions
Each manufacturer uses its own unique formula, so the components of different pastes are slightly different.
But there is a list of active substances that are most often included in the base:
- To restore healthy microflora, the product is enriched with a natural antiseptic - borneol.
Silicon/titanium dioxide.
- Aluminium oxide.
- Ground cuttlefish bones.
- Bamboo charcoal.
- Calcium carbonate.
The anti-inflammatory effect is provided by extracts and extracts:
- carnations;
- mint;
- guava;
- miswaki;
- murayi;
- Clinacanthus.
Essential oils are also used in production. And to restore healthy microflora, the product is enriched with a natural antiseptic - borneol. Its properties are identical to camphor, but there is no toxic effect.
Reference! Thai recipes do not include the addition of chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or pigments. This indicates the safety of the paste.
Twin Lotus: herbal paste
Dentists paid special attention to this paste. After all, this composition has a number of advantages:
- Thai Twin Lotus toothpaste is an excellent tool for the prevention of various periodontal diseases.
- This composition has antiseptic and antiviral effects.
- This Thai whitening toothpaste can eliminate unpleasant odor, including after smoking and drinking alcohol.
- Removes not only plaque, but also stone.
- Perfectly freshens breath. The feeling of cleanliness lasts throughout the day.
- Eliminates dry mouth and bleeding gums.
- Protects gums and teeth from the harmful effects of the environment and cold.
- Toothpaste fortifies teeth and soft tissues.
It is worth noting that Twin Lotus has been certified in Russia. This paste has a more pleasant taste and is much gentler than the previous one.
Kinds
Toothpastes produced in Thailand are divided into several types:
- Whitening products are developed based on plant components and abrasives. Such compositions easily remove hard and soft plaque from the surface of the enamel, preventing the build-up of stone. The degree of aggressiveness for each product is different; when using the intensive option, the lightening effect is observed after the first hygiene procedure. Pastes of this type have a predominantly dense consistency. Jars were the first to appear on the market; now the range has been replenished with a gel-based product, packaged in familiar tubes. It is rational to use the paste in cases where the natural color of the teeth is white. It is recommended to carry out the procedures in a course of 10 days with an interval of 1-2 months, or every other day for 1 month with a break of up to 3 months. You can alternate the Thai composition with a regular cleaning product intended for daily hygiene. Many whitening products have a contraindication - a thinned enamel layer.
- Black compositions are available in different dark colors, which depends on one of the main components of the paste. Most often it is: crushed mangosteen bark, bamboo coals, cuttlefish bone tissue. Essential oils of medicinal plants and extracts are also used in production. Dark pastes prevent the spread of inflammation on tissues and remove yellowness. The result is visible after 1-2 applications. Due to the mild action of the product, it can be used in the presence of a thin layer of enamel.
- Herbal pastes are developed based on the healing gifts of nature with a unique combination of components. The main advantage of the products is the rapid relief of inflammation in tissues. The composition copes well with bleeding gums, eliminates plaque on teeth, softens stones, promoting their destruction, and brightens the enamel. The product tones soft tissues and prevents the accumulation of microorganisms in the oral cavity. Some pastes have an antiviral effect. This makes it possible to use them for inflammation of the mucous membrane and larynx.

In Thailand, there are many medicinal plants that cannot be found here, which have a healing effect on human gum tissue. For example, guava, mangosteen peel, SE tree powder . The Thais have learned to use them in the production of their medicinal pastes, and today they successfully offer them on the market.
Such cleaning compositions for the oral cavity have a healing effect on sore gums, relieve inflammation, actively fight the growth of bacteria, stop bleeding, and nourish tissues with vitamins and strengthening substances.
Their components have a gentler effect on tooth enamel, so you should not expect a special whitening effect after their use. Among the large number of options, we will focus on those that our compatriots liked most:
- Abhai herb . The paste has an unusual dark color due to the presence of plant components in it. The specific taste and smell of this paste more than pays for itself with its disinfecting properties. It copes well with many gum diseases and has a beneficial effect on their overall condition.
- Baan Somjeed . This paste can be used not only for the prevention of diseases and treatment of gum diseases, but as a local anesthetic. The components included in its composition can relieve toothache. Of course, this is not a solution to the problem, and you will still have to treat your bad teeth, but it is quite possible to improve your condition for a while.
- Twin Lotus Herbal Toothpaste original . This paste has passed the necessary laboratory tests and received a quality certificate in our country. It is recommended to be used for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease, bleeding gums, to combat bacterial plaque, as well as some viruses.
- Borneol . This product contains components used in Thai medicine to treat many diseases. With its constant use, you can get rid of some types of ulcers and wounds in the mouth, and even heal a sore throat.

Herbal toothpastes
Tropical herbs and flowers have long been used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes, many of them tested by European scientists. Essential oils of exotic plants help fight microbes, eliminate inflammatory processes, and promote the healing of microcracks in the mucous membrane. Extracts also nourish cells with vitamins and minerals.
Herbal pastes are designed to protect gums, therefore they have a weak whitening effect.
A special feature of herbal remedies is the dark color (even black) of the cleaning mass. This is unusual for our compatriots. However, there is no need to be surprised, because the pastes contain natural ingredients. Thais widely use bamboo charcoal, which cleanses and absorbs dirt and unpleasant odors. The absorbent property of coal has long been known to people; it is thanks to this property that the paste acts like a vacuum cleaner.
Guava extracts and clove essential oils, which have a powerful bactericidal effect, are widely used in herbal remedies. You can often find camphor, known for its healing properties.

Toothpaste in this series has been certified and is sold in pharmacies across the country. It is especially worth noting that the taste and aroma of the cleaning mass is not sharp.
Rules for using Thai whitening pastes
Thai pastes are highly concentrated. Improper use can cause problems with enamel.
Therefore, before use, it is important to familiarize yourself with some rules:
- When applying the composition to the brush, it is important to follow the dosage. For a one-time hygiene procedure, you will need a pea with a diameter of 2-4 mm. It is convenient to take the paste from the jar using a special tool that comes with the kit.
- It is recommended to carry out the hygienic procedure with a paste that contains bleaching agents using a soft brush. Coarse bristles in combination with a concentrated product can damage the enamel structure or mucous membrane.
- There is no need to moisten the brush before applying the paste.
- To achieve the desired result (thorough cleaning and brightening of the enamel) without harm to the teeth, it is recommended to use the Thai product for about 10 days throughout the month.
- Active cleaning movements should be made after foam has formed.
Rules of application
As you know, in order to achieve a positive result, you need to apply maximum knowledge and skills. In this case, before you rush to brush your teeth with Thai paste, you just need to study the rules for its use.
The drugs that are manufactured in Thailand differ from our usual analogues in their high concentration.
If you use this composition incorrectly, there is a possibility of damage to the oral cavity.
Carefully read the instructions for the product; the correct and useful dosage is indicated in detail.
This rule works if you purchased Thai paste in a tube. But it is sold not only in this container.
The drug produced in a jar is very popular. In this case, the kit always includes a special spatula, with which you can calmly and conveniently apply the cleaning product to your toothbrush.
Remember: it is not recommended to put a toothbrush, especially a wet one, into a container with a Thai preparation, because it simply does not tolerate moisture!
It is advisable to use the product no more than 2 times a week, as increased sensitivity of the enamel may occur.

Advantages and disadvantages
Toothpaste based on Thai recipes, previously imported into the country as gifts, instantly gained popularity thanks to laudatory reviews from users. Now the merits of the product are appreciated by millions of compatriots.
Among the main advantages of the product:
- safe composition of natural origin, which makes it possible to use the paste during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- whitening effect, changes can be seen after 2-3 procedures;
- a unique formula, the effect of which is ensured by the medicinal properties of plants;
- a large selection of pastes that differ in composition (this is important if you are allergic to one of the components of the product);
- profitability (for the procedure you will need only a tiny pea of the product);
- affordable price (cost per tube is about 140-160 rubles).
The disadvantages include the unusual consistency and gray tone of the paste. When performing hygiene procedures, a slightly salty taste is felt.
Herbal Clove Toothpaste
This Thai toothpaste is the most popular among tourists. You can buy it in almost any cosmetic store or in a specialized store. These products contain clove oil, as well as laurel and aster plants, and menthol. According to dentists, a paste with such components perfectly whitens tooth enamel, giving it a natural whiteness. In addition, dentists recommend this composition for those who suffer from gum disease. This toothpaste perfectly disinfects and freshens breath. The consistency of the product is a solid composition, something between a gel base and a powder.
Also, this Thai toothpaste with cloves has a low consumption. It is very easy to use. Use a dry brush to brush over the surface of the paste. There is no need to apply pressure. There should be a slight residue left on the bristles. This small amount is enough to clean tooth enamel and protect your teeth. If you regularly use this particular composition, then you can forget about going to the dentist. It is this Thai herbal toothpaste that helps prevent the formation of tartar.
The only disadvantage of this paste, according to experts, is its unique smell and taste. In addition, the container with the composition must be tightly closed to prevent water from getting into it.
Do they really whiten teeth?
Each paste made according to Thai recipes has an individual list of indications, so you should not purchase any for teeth whitening. This is explained by the presence or absence of active ingredients in the composition, which ensure lightening of the enamel.
Punchalee pasta is very popular in Russia. The product is certified, the composition contains only components of natural origin. Whitening is achieved thanks to the properties of calcium carbonate.
Another equally popular product is MeiTan Active White. It is recommended for coffee and tea lovers. The composition perfectly copes with the typical coating of drinks.
The product also competes with a Thai toothpaste 5 star 4A. Its consistency is unusually solid, which ensures economical consumption. Among the active ingredients is white clay, which provides the effect of lightening the enamel.
Black
Among Thai toothpastes there are also compositions that are distinguished by a special black color. There is no need to be afraid of this. Such an unusual shade indicates the natural origin of the product .
It contains special bamboo charcoal , which is the reason for the black color of the paste. But this coal copes well with enamel stains, literally absorbing polluting particles.
In addition to charcoal, black pastes also contain other natural ingredients, such as camphor, clove oil, guava extract , which have bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties. This composition is perfect for treating sensitive teeth and sore gums.
Another Thai-made paste that is black in color is made from mangosteen bark . Apart from the shade, in other respects it is very similar to those that we are used to using: it is also produced in tubes and has a pleasant taste and smell.
At the same time, it copes well with “its responsibilities”: after its use, tooth enamel remains clean, tartar is completely removed, the number of bacteria is reduced, and breath remains fresh for a long time. This is a good prevention of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity, as well as protecting sensitive gums.
Today you don’t have to go to Thailand to get such pasta. It is offered by many online stores, as well as some trading platforms in our country.
It should be noted that natural Thai toothpastes are very affordable. However, when purchasing such a specific product directly in Thailand, you need to be very careful and contact only trusted or reputable stores that value their reputation.
Traders in shops at the “souvenir bazaar” can, without a twinge of conscience, slip you an ordinary fake . With such a purchase, you will most likely be disappointed without trying the real treasure of the Thai land.
Next you will find an amateur video review of some types of pastes:
Dentists' opinion
For many potential buyers, the opinion of dentists plays a decisive role in the decision to purchase a toothpaste. Experts confirm the beneficial effects of the natural composition of Thai products on soft tissues and enamel structure.
Although some doctors note that the effect of enamel lightening occurs to a greater extent due to the mechanical effect on plaque and pigmentation.
Other dentists advise using exclusively products certified by the Russian Sanitary Service. This provides greater confidence regarding the safety of the formulation and its effectiveness.
It is quite acceptable to use Thai-made pastes if all the rules are followed during the application process.
This applies to both dosages and teeth brushing techniques. Experts also recommend combining the product from Thailand with pastes intended for daily procedures.
Flaws
Keep in mind! The product also has a downside.
- Reliability of information. It is not known for certain how true and complete the information is, provided on the product packaging. The following points make you think:
- If the composition is natural, then why doesn’t anything happen to the paste after several months of use? It does not deteriorate, does not change smell or color. And this despite the fact that it is traditionally stored in the bathroom, where there is high humidity and temperature;
- not a single natural component can cause excessive foaming, which occurs when the product comes into contact with water; only synthetic materials can achieve this;
- Even the average person knows that a product made from high-quality and natural raw materials cannot be cheap, and Thai toothpastes are just like that.
- Health risk. If used incorrectly or frequently, it can damage tooth enamel or cause inflammation of the gums. The whitening effect occurs due to mechanical action on the enamel. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to some rules when using Thai paste.
- Unpleasant sensations during hygiene. Not all users like the not very pleasant taste and smell of the product . Russian residents are spoiled by the good parameters of domestic toothpastes.
- Inconvenient to use. Still, it’s not for nothing that over time humanity has switched to making toothpastes in tubes. This is the best option, while the others are much inferior in dexterity of use.
Important! In addition to the above, some lovers of Thai paste note that there is a need for longer rinsing of the mouth, since a lot of foam is really formed during cleaning.
Also, the packaging itself is inconvenient to store, since the paste also comes with a special spatula; you have to allocate a separate shelf for them, otherwise there is a risk of losing the device or dropping everything on the floor.
