Fluoride is just as important as brushing in preventing decay and it actively strengthens tooth enamel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anti-gingivitis:<\/strong> Do your gums suffer from redness and bleeding? You might have gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease. Anti-gingivitis toothpastes help reduce oral bacteria and can be very effective at stopping this gum condition at its source.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Desensitizing:<\/strong> Ever take a sip of hot coffee or a cold beverage and feel a shooting pain? This type of toothpaste might help to give you some relief \u2013 it helps reduce pain by blocking the tooth\u2019s pain signal to the nerve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tartar-control:<\/strong> As its name indicates, tartar-control toothpaste helps prevent the buildup of tartar. While this product is helpful in slowing new buildup on teeth, a professional dental cleaning is the only way to remove existing tartar and the bacteria it harbors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whitening:<\/strong> Containing polishing or chemical agents that remove surface stains, this toothpaste is able to help maintain the natural color of your teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With so many options in the dental health isle choosing toothpaste can be a little overwhelming. \u00a0From baking soda, whitening, foaming, desensitizing, tarter control, anti-gingivitis, fluoride\u2026the list can go on and on.\u00a0\u00a0 No matter the brand always select a toothpaste with the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval.\u00a0 Dr. Tillman has a few tips [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,8,9,16,1],"tags":[22,25,28,30,31,32,37],"class_list":["post-274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dentistry","category-just-for-fun","category-oral-health","category-teeth-whitening","category-uncategorized","tag-david-tillman","tag-dental-plaque","tag-dentist-fort-worth-tx","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-dentist","tag-fun-facts","tag-preventative-dentistry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
