According to Wikipedia toothpaste is paste or gel used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. OK understood. Further reading the definition....it says "..Most of the cleaning is achieved by the mechanical action of the toothbrush, and not by the toothpaste. Salt and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) are among materials that can be substituted for commercial toothpaste" Oho....salt and baking soda..interesting eh!
Remember during the old days, pergi kedai beli ubat gigi senang je. "Nak beli Colgate". It's the white paste with fluoride and mint taste. That's it. Lama-kelamaan...macam-macam brand...jenis ubat gigi ada. Gel, colored, flavored, non-fluoride, herbal, for smokers and sensitive teeth. Recently, whitening range quite popular. I've tried one brand for the whitening range. The red color tube where Fazura is the ambassador. Ce teka! Hehehhe.. Hey, it works yo! I skipped dental scaling treatment last year. Save duit kat situ.
Hang on....what really is scientifically proven? I saw some label saying clinically proven. Sounds like marketing buzz..or really carry some weight. I have searched around....the simplest I got is literally, "clinically proven" means that testing of some kind was done on animals or people, while "scientifically" refers to testing in a laboratory.
Looking forward for whiter teeth soonest! :-)
