HOW TO USE TOOTHPASTE TABLETS
For those new to toothpaste tablets or about to make the switch, here are our manufacturer guidelines on how to use toothpaste tablets effectively.
Choose a good quality product
Save yourself the trial and
error of sampling second-rate toothpaste tablets and follow our instructions on
how
to choose an excellent product first time. We set out the key requirements
of foam, flavour and fluoride. Whatever brand you choose
make sure it provides a dense foam, tastes good and contains enough fluoride to
protect your teeth.
How many toothpaste tablets
to chew
For an effective clean, be
sure to use two toothpaste tablets, one for each side of the mouth. This will
make sure both sides are coated evenly and neither misses out on the benefits
of chewing. With Dr Denti Toothpaste Tablets, chewing kicks off the cleaning
process by removing surface debris and getting toothpaste granules into those
tight spots beneath the gums or between the teeth.
When to start brushing
Chewing your tablets should produce
a thick foam, once this happens you can start brushing away as normal. If your
tablets are non-foaming, we strongly suggest you chuck them in the bin and get
some decent replacements asap. Non-foaming tablets will break up into a watery
slurry which is messy, and very difficult to actually clean with.
Can you use an electric
toothbrush with tablets?
Yes! Electric toothbrushes
have been shown to clean teeth and gums better than manual brushes. For maximum
results we recommend using an electric toothbrush with Dr Denti Toothpaste
Tablets. The only time you may prefer to use a manual brush is with non-foaming
tablets as an electric toothbrush will flick the watery mixture everywhere. Of
course, the best solution is to buy tablets with a good foaming action in the
first place.
Should you swallow
toothpaste tablet foam?
Just like with old-fashioned
paste, swallowing the foam after brushing your teeth is unlikely to do you any
harm but it’s still not recommended! After brushing, just spit and rinse away
in the sink. Equally, even though Dr Denti Toothpaste Tablets taste great,
please remember they are not breath mints so try to avoid eating them ????
