What are the Best Foam Toothpaste Brands?
What Is Foam Toothpaste?
Foam toothpaste is a type of toothpaste that contains a higher concentration of sodium lauryl sulfate, which causes it to foam. This foam gets in between each tooth and works as a scrubbing agent to get the teeth as clean as possible. It's especially effective at preventing plaque buildup when combined with flossing and followed up with enjuague bucal.
Made for the Autobrush, a u-shaped, hands-free electric toothbrush that provides sonic vibrations and blue light technology to clean your teeth in just 30 seconds, foam toothpaste is designed to loosen plaque and other debris much like traditional toothpaste.
Do You Have To Use Foam Toothpaste With an Autobrush?
Foam toothpaste has a very thin consistency that's applied onto the Autobrush, which is then inserted into the mouth. It is possible to use regular toothpaste in an Autobrush; however, the best foam toothpaste easily dissolves inside the Autobrush to clean teeth faster and more efficiently. Gel- and paste-type toothpastes break down much slower in the Autobrush, so they require longer than 30 seconds to work effectively.
On the other hand, it's also possible to use foam toothpaste with a regular cepillo dental. However, because the consistency is very thin, it's still best to use regular toothpaste.
Does Whitening Foam Toothpaste Really Work?
Whitening toothpastes are formulated to eliminate surface stains on the teeth. While they can remove the buildup caused by café, soda, nicotine and teeth-staining foods like fruit juice and tomato sauce, they typically can’t change the natural color of teeth.
Whitening foam toothpaste may help lighten teeth up to seven shades with regular use. It can take two to six weeks for a noticeable difference when used twice a day.
Is Whitening Foam Toothpaste Safe?
Brushing teeth hard with a stiff-bristle toothbrush can damage the enamel of your teeth. Foaming toothpaste contains chemicals and special abrasives that whiten the teeth without the need to physically scrub. To ensure that a foaming toothpaste or any other type of toothpaste is safe for the teeth, be sure to check the packaging for the Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. Additional oral hygiene products, such as teeth whitening strips and mouthwash, can assist with lightening stained teeth.
