Hidden Danger in Your Toothpaste? Doctors Warn to Check This Ingredient!

• Many toothpastes contain ingredients that can damage teeth and gums, despite claims of whitening and fresh breath.
• Dr. Libi Singh advises checking the PPM (parts per million) of fluoride in toothpaste, not just brand or taste.
• For adults, toothpaste with less than 1500 PPM fluoride is considered safe; for children, less than 1000 PPM, with 500 PPM being ideal.
• High fluoride content (above 1500 PPM) can lead to fluorosis, causing patches on teeth and increased sensitivity.
• Avoid abrasive toothpastes and those containing sodium lauryl sulfate, as they can harm gums and teeth.

Why It Matters: Always check toothpaste's fluoride PPM and avoid abrasive ingredients to protect your dental health.
