- If your gums are bleeding or red, not all toothpastes or mouthwashes are suitable. They must contain chlorhexidine, the base of the formulation for treating and preventing periodontal disease, but there are different concentrations. Only your dentist or hygienist can prescribe or recommend the most appropriate one.
- If your problem is tooth sensitivity or you want to improve the color of your enamel, there are also many brands, and not all of them are suitable; we can even worsen the problem and damage the enamel.
- The fluoride content of toothpaste is also important, and it's not the same for a child as it is for an adult.
Taking care of your teeth and gums is a habit that we must acquire and maintain.
Advice from your dentist or hygienist, as well as regular check-ups, are essential for your oral health.
