This will allow you not to wash enamel and will fight your teeth from erasing in the subrian area (the so-called «Wedge-shaped defect»).
Of course, children should use «Children's pastes», Patients with sensitive gums - also special pastes «For sensitive teeth» and «from Parodontosis».
Not bad addition to pastas serve various elixirs, but they do not replace the teeth cleaning procedures with a brush.
Is chewing gum useful
Chewing gum, according to many dentists really a good thing. It massages the gums and moderately loads perodont, improving blood circulation. But the brush and paste still need to use.
...And do not forget about visiting the doctor!
