More Than A Polish
We all love that fresh mouth taste and the feeling of running our tongue along our smooth tooth surface after brushing, but toothpaste does a lot more than that. Yes, toothpaste is a polish that clears plaque but it also contains ingredients that help control mouth bacteria and fight all sorts of dental problems. What you may not be aware of is that when the plaque on your teeth meets with food it creates an acid that attacks your teeth and ultimately leads to tooth decay. Toothpaste’s ingredients help control this bacteria giving your teeth a better chance of fighting future dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease!
