How to choose the best toothpaste? 

When selecting toothpaste, it's not about choosing the best, but rather selecting the MOST SUITABLE toothpaste tailored to your oral well-being. At Seattle Dental Care, we advocate for a comprehensive evaluation of a patient's oral health by utilizing various methods such as analyzing oral microbiome, saliva pH levels, measuring gum pocket depth, gauging the rate of plaque accumulation, and more.

What should I look for in my toothpaste?

There are several toothpaste ingredients that play an important role in improving oral health. 

Nano-Hydroxyapatite: Desensitize and remineralize

Nano-hydroxyapatite, or nHA, is a microscopic form of calcium apatite that mimics the natural structure of tooth enamel. When incorporated into toothpaste, it promotes remineralization, a vital process for strengthening enamel and fighting cavity

Baking Soda: Neutralize pH and gentle abrasive

Baking Soda, or sodium bicarbonate, helps neutralize the pH level in your saliva. Its also a mild abrasive that aids in removing surface stains and plaque buildup without causing damage to the enamel. Its alkaline nature also helps balance the pH level in the mouth.

Hydrogen Peroxide: Anti-microbial

Hydrogen Peroxide is a powerful antimicrobial agent that not only kills bacteria but also acts as a teeth-whitening agent. When used in recommended concentrations, it's a safe and effective addition to your at-home oral hygiene regimen.

We prioritize a comprehensive evaluation of a patient's oral health to provide personalized recommendations tailored to enhance your individual oral well-being. This includes examining factors like your oral microbiome, saliva pH levels, gum pocket depth, plaque buildup, and more. Our primary focus is on our patients' health, emphasizing the establishment of robust preventive care strategies.
