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.
