Toothpaste is a basic requirement in most households. However, you should be keen when choosing the type of toothpaste to use.
Below are the some of the factors you should consider when shopping for toothpaste.
1. Kebs label
For any toothpaste brand to be termed as genuine, it must have the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) label. This label is a sign that the toothpaste has been tested and will be sure to protect your teeth from decaying.
2. Sweetened toothpaste
Sugar is the major enemy to our teeth hence should be avoided by all means. Though sweet, it makes our teeth decay and become discoloured. Toothpaste brands with excess sugar should be avoided by all means.
3. Contains fluoride
Fluoride is the main ingredient that is present in any toothpaste. When shopping for toothpaste, go for a brand that contains fluoride. Fluoride is a component that helps fight cavity related problems and protects the enamel.
4. Texture
The texture of the toothpaste should highly matter. If you come across a toothpaste that is somehow rough, it should tell you that it is not the best.
