  As a dental clinician, could you (profanity) not use charcoal containing products please?

  None of us are open for routine treatment, and this shit ends up in your gums.

      Better than nothing. And I use one. Make sure you clean it frequently, including a dilute white vinegar rinse to minimise mould formation. Better to use interdental brushes.

      The particles end up lodged under gums and it's a PITA to clean it out for patients. Dental clinics Australia-wide are under level 3 restrictions - we are only seeing patients if they have lasting pain or facial swelling, which means no cleans. There are, of course, some clinics who are flouting the mandate, but there are always people who think they know better.

          @BuyNow Think Later: It passes the bar for doing what it needs to do. The only thing you should watch out for is a potential soft tissue reaction to the stannous fluoride content - it can cause tissue sloughing, and whilst alarming in appearance, is otherwise benign. The rep claims it will go away with continued use (but like, months of use).

            @kwchaz: Thanks. Which toothpaste would you recommend for maximum enamel protection?

              @BuyNow Think Later: I feel the average Australian probably needs more assistance with their dental health than others, so I tend to recommend a toothpaste that has at least 1350ppm fluoride, as well as perhaps a secondary product that assists in mitigating acid damage.

              That's why I tend to recommend Sensodyne Repair and Protect (specifically this range, as it has Novamin) or Colgate Sensitive (any of the range, the rep was unable to specify any actual functional differences - just need to make sure it has Arginine in it). Both have the equivalent of 1450ppm.

              For me personally, I'm actually using 3M Clinpro 5000, which is 5000ppm (like Colgate Neutrafluor 5000, and thus prescription only), but also has TCP in it. This much fluoride can be dangerous, even to adults, so I recommend caution if you do use this product and have animals or small children in the household.

              Honestly though, enamel protection is not primarily about which toothpaste you use. Your dietary habits and other medical conditions are far more important.

              Dietary habits means what you're eating, as well as how often. If you're consuming a lot of acidic food/drink (that includes kombucha!), then your teeth are getting pummeled. If you snack all day, again, your teeth are getting pummeled. It doesn't matter if you brush twice a day, hours of abuse in between are going to make it useless.

              Medical conditions include things like gastric reflux (regular burping counts!) and dry mouth (often caused by a medical condition or by medication taken to manage other conditions). Make sure you're drinking plenty of water, if you snore then do something about it (that's a whole 'nother lecture for another time), and avoid reflux stimulating foods (and take your reflux meds if you're supposed to take em).

              TL;DR There's more to protecting your teeth than just toothpaste

                @kwchaz: TCP is Tri-Calcium Phosphate. Is it good or bad for your teeth or health?

                  @BuyNow Think Later: Good for the teeth, according to the studies. It's like the CPP-ACP in Tooth Mousse.

  Antibacterial toothpaste?

  I guess it's going down the same 'what can we do to make consumers buy our new, slightly more expensive, yet still the same, just in a smaller package' product that all other supermarket lines are going down.

  Sure I can buy a deodorant that now protects me for 48 hours, but comes in a tin 20 grams smaller than the old version which apparently only lasted for 24 hours. Good thing it says NEW on the tin so I know I don't need to shower for 2 days….

  Or maybe it's the new super, ultra stain remover from Vanish…

  This product re-invention really bugs me.

    Marketing maybe, but if this helps to kill the coronabacteria, then people are going to use it.
