FROM A RECENT NEWSLETTER (published quarterly):
In a past newsletter, I discussed the fact that the only major benefit of toothpaste is
its' fluoride content. I also advised that baking soda and peroxide toothpaste's were of
no benefit. The following is a quote from a recent dental journal by the president of
Rembrandt Baking Soda /Peroxide toothpaste: "People believe they are getting
extra cleaning power from the bubbling action (of our toothpaste). But in reality there is
no proven therapeutic benefit ...its' a marketing concept, but it doesn't hurt
anyone". Recently on 20/20 the developer of Mentadent said basically the same
thing. "Its' strictly a marketing device, but patients feel so good because of
the taste and feeling that it encourages longer brushing".
The program emphasized what I have previously stated: "The only ingredient
in toothpaste that is beneficial is fluoride".
Don't waste your money on their marketing concepts.
