Riya Pandey/Delhi: When we go to the market to buy toothpaste, many of us buy it by looking at its color, taste, or packaging, but have you ever thought whether the way we buy any toothpaste from the market is correct? So let us learn today on this topic from a dentist doctor from Delhi that what things should we keep in mind while buying toothpaste and how should we use it.

Dr. Chaunsi Gupta, a Delhi resident, is a BDS, MIDA Consultant Dental Surgeon, and is serving at H-Plus Clinic in Defence Colony, Delhi. She has been treating people since 2008. When the Local 18 team talked to her about how to buy toothpaste, she said that whenever you go to the market to buy toothpaste, if you buy it by looking at its color, flavor, or price, then it is wrong. Because all toothpastes work in the same way. You should just keep in mind that your toothpaste should contain fluoride. She further said that Australian research has found that all toothpastes work in the same way.

Use a toothpaste like this

Dr. Chancey said that we all should apply toothpaste equal to a pea on the brush. This amount of toothpaste is enough for your teeth. Apart from this, we all should brush twice a day. When you brush, your brushing activity also depends on how you brush. Along with this, we all should use a soft brush and change our brush every 3 months.

Keep these things in mind.
Dr. Chancey further said that if there is any problem with your teeth, then even changing the toothpaste will not solve that problem. For this, you should consult a good dentist and get your treatment done. All of us, whether children or adults, should definitely consult a dentist once a year.
