What are the active ingredients of toothpastes?
Toothpastes may contain various active ingredients (antiseptics, anti-inflammatory, fluoride, calcium, etc.) which give them different properties.
Currently, fluoride is the most effective substance to fight dental plaque and to strengthen the resistance of teeth to caries. In the absence of specific recommendations, you should use fluoride-containing toothpaste.
Whitening toothpastes contain abrasive components that can alter the condition of the enamel surface if used too intensively. They can be a source of dentinal sensitivities.
