Toothpaste has been around for decades

 

It does very little-to-nothing to remove plaque and biofilm from your teeth and gumline which can cause gum disease and gingivitis. Today’s toothpastes are mostly all made up of similar base ingredients.

 

Beyond the added fluoride for the prevention of cavities, today’s toothpaste provides Sensory Attributes but very little in the way Functional Attributes or Oral Health benefits.

Today’s toothpaste does not contribute to plaque and biofilm removal

 

Published studies have shown that brushing with water is as effective at removing plaque as brushing with toothpaste.

 

  • Plaque removal is around 30% to 50% at best
  • The mechanical action of the brush is responsible for almost all of the plaque removal

 

So why is toothpaste ineffective at removing plaque?

 

  • Insufficient shear stress of the liquid or paste to remove plaque and biofilm
  • Saliva quickly breaks down toothpaste into an ineffective saliva slurry
  • Breaks down at normal brushing speeds
Journal-Clinical-Periodontology“…moderate certainty that toothbrushing with a dentifrice does not provide an added effect for the mechanical removal of dental plaque.”
