Recently, some toothpaste products have appeared in the market, claiming to have the effects of "promoting children's tooth growth", "repairing tooth holes", and even "regenerating teeth". On July 5, the State Food and Drug Administration issued a reminder that toothpaste can not treat oral diseases and is not a magic weapon for "promoting tooth growth" and "filling tooth holes".
According to the experts, the main raw material of toothpaste is friction agent, which can clean and remove tooth stains by rubbing the toothbrush on the tooth surface. With the technological innovation, some effective ingredients have been added to the toothpaste. For example, fluoride can play a certain role in preventing caries.
Dental caries is one of the most common diseases in oral cavity. According to experts, at the initial stage of dental caries, the enamel surface begins to demineralize. After dental caries, it is non renewable. Fluoride toothpaste can not reverse the development of dental caries.
People have two sets of teeth in their life - deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. Deciduous teeth usually sprout from about 6 months old; By the age of 6, the deciduous teeth began to fall off physiologically, and by the age of 12, all the deciduous teeth were replaced by permanent teeth. No matter what causes the permanent teeth to fall off or damage, they cannot regenerate.
The State Food and Drug Administration reminds us not to believe the false propaganda that toothpaste can cure oral diseases. To prevent oral diseases, good oral hygiene habits should be maintained, oral examinations should be conducted regularly, and toothpaste products should be selected rationally.
