Whitening toothpaste - SWEET TOOTH - 50mL

Dental hygiene is probably one of the first things we are taught from a young age. Dentists, specialists, and even parents all agree on the extreme importance of brushing our teeth. And there is good reason! When we eat, certain bacteria are naturally present in our mouth, and food produces acidity, which will have a drastic effect on the naturally neutral pH of our "oral" environment. Indeed, this one will go from neutral to acid (approximately 5). This acidity causes the teeth to be directly attacked, and slightly hollowed. But our body knows how to defend itself! Our saliva plays a key role in the protection of our teeth, because it knows how to neutralize the oral pH, and make it return to normal. Moreover, it partially repairs the damage done to the teeth by acid, by filling the small hollows left behind.

Despite the magical role that saliva plays, its powers remain limited. This is why it is important to complement the action of saliva by regularly brushing the teeth. In general, it is recommended to brush your teeth twice a day. In the morning after getting up or after breakfast, and in the evening after dinner and before going to bed. Some also recommend brushing them after lunch, but only when possible. The action of brushing not only removes plaque, but also food bits (which feed bacteria) that saliva has not been able to get rid of. The result: healthy teeth, for the happiness of all (and especially yours)!

In recent years, the presence of fluorine in toothpaste has been increasingly discussed. Some people explain that fluorine is a real "must" in the formulation of toothpaste and emphasize the effectiveness of the protection it provides teeth with. Others, on the other side, believe that fluorine could be dangerous for teeth and that it is therefore advisable to turn to more "natural" options. At Monsieur BARBIER, we enjoy debates. And this led us to ask ourselves THE question: should we include fluorine in our toothpaste or not? After carrying out some research, we found the answer to our question. So, let us explain to you why we consider ourselves fluorine enthusiasts!

So, why have we decided to include fluorine in our toothpaste? For many valuable reasons, but we'll keep it short and simple. Fluorine has been recognised, for many years, as being the most effective active ingredient to fight against the development of certain oral problems, such as cavities for instance. Yes, those nasty little things that traumatized your childhood! Fluorine has the characteristic of reducing the prevalence of cavities, thanks to its antiseptic effect against cariogenic germs. By degrading the dental plaque, fluorine stops the proliferation of bacteria, and thus reduces the chance of developing any cavities. Fluorine also plays an important role in strengthening teeth enamel. It makes the following more resistant to acid attacks, thus protecting the teeth from all potential aggressions. Fluorine, you rock!
