When you brush your teeth, it foams, tastes fresh, and feels like everything is getting clean. But how much do you really know about what's in your toothpaste? Some ingredients in toothpaste, like fluoride and foaming agents, can actually affect your oral environment more than we think. And since oral health is connected to the rest of your body, it's worth taking a closer look at what you're actually brushing with every day.
The mouth is the mirror of the body
It's easy to think that oral health is just about white teeth and fresh breath. But the mouth is the gateway to the rest of the body . Bacteria and inflammation here can spread via the bloodstream, with far-reaching consequences.
Research shows that poor oral health is linked to:
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Type 2 diabetes
• Stroke
• Certain cancers
• Dementia
Long-term inflammation in the mouth, such as gum disease (gingivitis) or tooth loss (periodontitis), can affect the entire body. Research shows that it can increase the risk of various chronic diseases. That's why a healthy mouth is important, not just for your teeth, but for your overall health.
Fluoride – more than just caries protection
Fluoride is a natural substance that strengthens enamel, reduces acid attack and prevents cavities. But like everything else, it's all about balance.
Many traditional toothpastes make it difficult to know exactly how much fluoride you are getting, especially for children who often accidentally swallow. With Gumpearl toothpaste tablets, you always get the exact amount of fluoride, the recommended level according to dentists and the Swedish National Dental Service.
👉 The right dose of fluoride strengthens teeth. Too little does not provide enough protection. Too much can cause side effects, especially in children.
With toothpaste tablets, you don't have to guess, every brushing is perfectly balanced. So do you want full control over the amount of fluoride every time? Then Gumpearls toothpaste tablets are for you.
The foam is deceiving you.
The foam in regular toothpaste usually comes from the substance SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). It is a foam-forming substance, also known as a surfactant, which is also used in products such as shampoo, shower gel and even in dishwashing and laundry detergent. In traditional toothpaste, it is used in a lower dose, but fulfills the same function: to create foam, not to clean.
What many people don't know is that SLS can:
• Dry out mucous membranes
• Cause mouth ulcers or irritation
• Worsen dry mouth
• Found in products such as shampoo, dishwashing detergent and laundry detergent
That's why Gumpearl contains no SLS. We focus on ingredients that do good, not just foam. The foam or lather may feel fresh, but in reality it does nothing for your oral health. The effect is actually in the content - not in the bubbles.
