your dentist<\/a>, and then choose a toothpaste that helps with that issue. See some of the more popular specialized toothpastes below:<\/p>\nTooth Sensitivity Toothpaste<\/h3>\n
Some toothpastes are abrasive, which can make your teeth more sensitive than they already are. Choose a toothpaste containing 5% potassium nitrate or less (look at the ingredients on the label) for a good toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Most brands will market themselves as a \u201csensitivity\u201d toothpaste, so be on the lookout for those.<\/p>\n
Gum Sensitivity Toothpaste<\/h3>\n
If you have gum sensitivity, look for products containing fluoride and potassium nitrate. These chemicals help protect and clean your gums to keep them healthy and cut down on that annoying sensitivity you may be feeling.<\/p>\n
Tartar Control Toothpaste<\/h3>\n
Plaque that isn\u2019t removed from your teeth can turn into hard tartar, which can only be removed by a professional dentist. This causes decay and gum disease, so if you struggle with tartar buildup, you should find a toothpaste that minimizes the formation of tartar.<\/p>\n
Look for toothpastes with sodium hexametaphosphate, which helps prevent tartar and stains above the gumline. However, if you already have tartar on your teeth, don\u2019t expect your new toothpaste to remove it for you. That will still need to be taken care of by a pro.<\/p>\n
Whitening Toothpaste<\/h3>\n
Whitening toothpastes are one of the most popular specialized toothpastes because around 80% of Americans want their teeth to be whiter. These products contain chemical and abrasive ingredients that help remove stains as well as prevent future discoloration that forms on your teeth. When used regularly, whitening toothpastes can give your smile an overall whiter appearance.<\/p>\n
No matter what toothpaste you need, you should know it may not be the same kind as the one your children or significant other needs. Use the above information to pick the best toothpaste for your family!<\/p>\n
