Stannous fluoride vs. sodium fluoride
Increasingly, dentists are recommending the use of this multi-purpose ingredient over sodium fluoride. You must know, Fluoride is responsible in making teeth stronger. It the mineral that makes it resistant to tooth decay due to bacteria and acid.
Sodium fluoride is one common flouride. It is used in many mouth washes and toothpastes.
Although sodium fluoride does fight cavities, stannous fluoride offers antibacterial properties and helps with the reduction of tooth sensitivity, improves and prevents Gingivitis, and battles the buildup of plaque.
One of the key advantages of this type of fluoride is its ability to rebuild tooth enamel.
This hardworking ingredient continues to be active up to eight hours, continuing the fight for a fresh and healthy mouth long after you’ve rinsed!
Let me share my favourite products currently on the market.
