Ques-Why do we need toothpaste to brush our teeth?
Ans-Toothpaste is a medium which helps to clean our teeth by foaming action and aids in getting rid of bacteria, lodged food particles, debris and stains between the teeth.
Ques- How much toothpaste should be used every day?
Ans-For proper and efficient cleaning of teeth, only a pea sized amount is sufficient.
Ques- Can we use mouthwash instead of a toothpaste?
Ans– No, not at all. Mouthwash can just freshen your breath and has an antibacterial action for a little time but can’t remove the food particles and debris.
Ques-Can we use medicated toothpastes for long term?
Ans-No, medicated toothpastes should be used only after consulting your dentist for specific problem. These should be used till the time they are prescribed for. Otherwise, they can have adverse effects too.
