What Type of Specialty Toothpastes Are There?


The type of toothpaste you use is important to your overall dental health. Sure, everybody knows about the regular mint flavored toothpaste that’s designed to simply clean your teeth. There are also well known specialty toothpastes that have additional ingredients to fight bad breath or to whiten your teeth. However, there are also toothpastes available to target other dental issues that you might not know about. Here are some of the best types available on the market:
  • Toothpaste for sensitive teeth. If your teeth are so sensitive to the cold that even drinking a glass of water is painful, you might want to invest in this type of toothpaste which targets your tooth’s sensitivity.
  • For mint allergies. Whether you’re allergic to mint or menthol, you can find toothpaste that uses cinnamon or tea tree oil which avoids your allergies. If you have allergies to your toothpaste, ask your West Hills dentist about available options.
  • For dry mouth. If you’re on medication that causes dry mouth, you can fight the side effect with your toothpaste.
  • For canker sores. Some regular toothpastes can be irritants to canker sores, so ask your dentist for specialty toothpaste if you’re prone to canker sores in your mouth.
