The amount of toothpaste on your brush does not affect how clean your teeth are.

A quantity comparable to a pea is sufficient. This is three times less than the volume usually presented in advertising.

This statement was made by dentist Diana Levchuk, writes Gazeta.Ru .

She emphasized that you shouldn't use too much toothpaste if you don't want to soften the brush too much. This will not clean it well.

At the same time, the doctor also recommended that if there are no dental problems, then any paste will do, and there is no point in chasing advertising. But it is better to avoid too cheap options.

The thing is that they contain calcium carbonate, which can scratch the enamel.

It is advisable to give preference to the middle price segment, but you also need to study the composition before buying.

The dentist explained that any toothpaste should not be used for a long time.

Once the tube is finished, it is better to pay attention to another composition and another brand. If you constantly choose one product, then addiction occurs, the effect disappears.
