Toothpaste is a daily product that is in direct contact with the human body, and the safety of its ingredients is critical to everyone's health. However, the diethylene glycol in some toothpastes has recently attracted the attention of consumers, and a low-toxicity ingredient in toothpastes, diethylene glycol, has been exposed to consumers.
 So, what exactly is diethylene glycol? What effect does it have on the human body? What should consumers pay attention to in their daily dental care and Strong Teeth Toothpaste choices?

Diethylene glycol began to be used in toothpaste production in the mid-1990s. As a humectant and solubilizer, it played the role of dispersing cellulose in the process and was mixed with sorbitol to replace relatively high prices. Glycerin, improve the quality of toothpaste. Diethylene glycol as a toxic chemical substance, excessive intake will still have adverse effects on the human body, mainly in the damage to the kidneys. According to the standards set by the European Food Science Committee, the daily intake of no more than 0.5mg/kg of diethylene glycol per person will not cause harm to the human body. When brushing teeth, the residual content of diethylene glycol in the body is between 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg, which is far lower than the EU standard. Therefore, the diethylene glycol content of domestic toothpaste is safe as long as it meets the national standard.

 The ingredients of toothpaste include abrasives, humectants and thickeners. Among them, the friction agent mainly uses calcium carbonate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, etc., and the moisturizing agent mainly includes glycerin, diethylene glycol and sorbic acid. For the safety of toothpaste, products produced by regular manufacturers that meet national safety standards will not cause harm to the human body. Moreover, the state will immediately issue the safety production license standards for toothpaste, and the regulations on the ingredients of toothpaste will also be more clear.

Toothpaste itself will not have side effects on the human body. This is mainly because the concentration of various ingredients in toothpaste is very low, and the amount ingested by the human body when brushing teeth is even smaller, which is not enough to cause harm to the human body. However, children should be cautious when using toothpaste, mainly to prevent them from swallowing the toothpaste.

As an auxiliary tool for cleaning teeth, toothpaste cannot be compared with brushing itself. The real purpose of brushing our teeth is not to remove the food left in the mouth, but to brush the bacteria on the surface of the teeth. So from this point of view, as long as the brushing method is correct, brushing without toothpaste can also achieve the effect of removing bacteria. However, it does not mean that toothpaste is useless. The role of fluoride toothpaste in preventing dental caries is recognized by the medical community. Correct understanding of the role of toothpaste, when choosing toothpaste, should be the most basic purpose of cleaning and protecting teeth, and can not blindly pursue other effects.
