The report you cite was pub
lished last year b yth e A m e n -
can Dental Association, which
rated all m ajor dentifrices on
an ascending scale of abrasiv-
ity. W hen the report w a s is
sued, the ADA pointe J out that
some dentifrices m a y oe
harmful to a particular indivi
dual's teeth. Some individuals
requite a mo.e abrasive den
tifric e ; foi others only a low-
abrasive dentifrice is sale.
I he study also pointed up tne
fact that many of the so-call«jd
"b rig h te n e r' to o t h p a s te s
were actually rather lo w in
abrasives. However, all tooth
pastes contain some abra
sives.
Highly abrasivedentifrices
can be harmful to people wno
have receding gums with ex
posed tooth roots. Cementum
is the mate i la) covering tne
OOl ind. A b l l s sim ilar to
enamel, is much softer and
more likely to be affect©! by
abrasive m aterials.
Dental patients w h o have
had teeth restored with mate
ria ls such as plastics or
acrylics may also be advis©J
to use le s s abrasive to o t h
pastes. These m aterials may
be harmed by some of the
heavier abrasives. The ADA
also warned that the compul
sive toothbrusher- - someone
who brushes vrgorously sev
er il tim er a day, for long ps-
riods — may d a m a g e the
enamel with a high-abrasive
dentifrice.
The best person to give you
advice on whether to use a
high-abrasive toothpaste is
your fam ily dentist.
How safe are the ele ctric
toothbrushes and water jets?
I m considering buying each of
these items fo r my fa m ily.
The American Dental Asso
ciation evaluates these de
vices fo r safety and effective
ness. C urrently, the Associa
tion has recognized 13 power©!
toothbrushes as safe and e f
fective. It points out that pow
ered brushes a r e especially
recommended forchildrenand
physically handicapped per
sons who have d iffic u lty mus
ing manual brushes.
The water irrig a to rs ar e al
so evaluated by the Associa
tion. Six have been classified
as safe and effective as ad
juncts to regular toothbrush-
ing and dental care. If used
properly, th e s e devices can
remove debris from hard-to-
reach places such as between
the teeth.
You can c h e c k with your
fam ily dentist tofind outwhich
brushes and Irrig a to rs have
been accept©!.
