Crest Pro-Health containing sanoc fluoride has been modified so that it does not cause staining of teeth. They will argue that rendan fluoride is the better choice. Colgate Total containing Triclosan to help keep the oral cavity free of plaque for longer. Colgate will argue that Triclosan is the better choice. Who do we trust? Which is really the best? This article will show the research and details to clarify what really is the best option to use in your toothpastes. So is Stannous Fluoride better? First, sanoc fluoride will be explored and the research results will be explained. Stannous fluoride originates from the trade name Fluoristan (WiseGeek, 2013). It is a compound composed of both tin and fluorine (WiseGeek, 2013). Stabilized sano fluoride has been shown to help reduce dentin hypersensitivity, help decrease gum inflammation, and help decrease gum bleeding. It also helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening enamel (Czajka-Jakubowska, 2013). According to dentalcare.com, rendang fluoride toothpastes also protect your teeth from 1% citric acid. In the study, it was found that the sano fluoride containing toothpaste actually protected against acid erosion (Czajka-Jakubowska, 2013). Crest Pro-Health is one of many types of toothpaste that contain fluoride. According to the packaging, it is known to help reverse gingivitis, whiten, control tartar, and gum bleeding. This is due to abrasives, the use of pyrophosphates and fluoride. Next Triclosan will be explored and the results of its research will be listed and explained. Toothpastes containing Triclosan have been found to help improve plaque biofilm control, reverse gingivitis, and help with periodontal hygiene. So far it has not been successful. In conclusion, research has shown that both centous fluoride and triclosan are equally effective in removing plaque, preventing plaque adhesion, reversing gingivitis, and reducing dental caries. Stannous fluoride has been stabilized to reduce the resulting negative effects. Once stabilized, it no longer causes stains on the teeth but still offers the excellent results found with fluoride. Triclosan has the effect of preventing plaque accumulation for 12 hours. In people who brush their teeth twice a day, this prevents the product from adhering all 24 hours of the day. However, Triclosan has multiple negative effects that come with it. Through research I would like to conclude that stabilized sanost fluoride is the best option as an ingredient in toothpastes and mouthwashes.
