🦷 Fluoride Toothpaste vs. Natural Toothpaste – What’s the Difference?

Choosing the right toothpaste can be confusing—so here’s a quick breakdown:

✨ Fluoride Toothpaste
✔️ Strengthens enamel
✔️ Helps prevent cavities
✔️ Backed by decades of research
🚫 Not ideal if you’re avoiding synthetic ingredients

🌿 Natural Toothpaste
✔️ Often free of artificial additives
✔️ May include ingredients like baking soda, coconut oil, or essential oils
🚫 Typically doesn’t contain fluoride—less effective at cavity prevention

💡 Our take: If you’re cavity-prone or at higher risk of tooth decay, fluoride toothpaste is usually the better option. But natural pastes can be a great addition for those who prefer a more holistic routine!

Always talk to your dentist about what’s best for your smile 😊

🦷✨ Don’t Just Brush – Clean Between! ✨🦷

Did you know that brushing alone only cleans about 60% of your tooth surfaces? The remaining 40% hides between your teeth, where plaque and food debris love to build up. 😬

🪥 Why Clean Between Teeth?
✅ Prevents cavities between teeth
✅ Reduces gum inflammation and bleeding
✅ Helps prevent bad breath
✅ Protects against gum disease and tooth loss

Whether you choose floss or interdental brushes (like TePe), daily cleaning between your teeth is essential for a healthy smile. 😁

👉 Tip: If you notice bleeding, don’t stop — it’s often a sign your gums need more care, not less. Keep it up, and they’ll thank you soon!
