Advantages and disadvantages

To ensure that the use of Glister does not cause harm to health, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with its advantages and disadvantages:

Cleaning performance of Amway toothpaste

The cleaning agents present in the composition have an abrasiveness of 110 RDA. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve a whitening effect with regular use. But there are cases when a hygiene product leads to thinning of the enamel and the appearance of painful sensations.

Abrasive components remove contaminants through mechanical friction against the surface of large, coarse particles. On healthy teeth, this action promotes whitening. But if applied regularly to weakened enamel, it can be damaged.

Note! Toothpastes for daily care should have an abrasiveness index of 70-80 RDA. Amway has an indicator of 110 units, which is permissible for use only on healthy enamel. In other cases, the composition must be alternated with other products.

Contraindications

Before using Glister, you need to familiarize yourself with the contraindications outlined by the manufacturer.
Restrictions apply in the following cases:

• when there is intense thinning of tooth enamel with a decrease in crown height;
• if you are allergic to the constituent substances;
• with the destruction of enamel and various malformations of its development (signs of thinning of the enamel layer, increased sensitivity, destruction of tooth tissue due to caries).

About the composition

Fortunately for curious skeptics, the manufacturer described the composition in detail and with utmost honesty. There are no special formulas, secret ingredients or other “magic” in the spirit of Coca Cola. The main active ingredient is sodium fluoride. If you use toothpastes without fluoride, you have fluorosis, or there is too much fluoride in your water and food, American toothpaste is not suitable for you. If there are no problems with fluorides, read on.

However, fluorine here is 950 units (ppm), and the beneficial effect begins at 1450. That is, it is generally only for show. If you buy toothpastes with fluoride to fight bacteria that cause the development of dental and gum disease, there will be no benefit.

Composition of the Glister series

Another stone in Amway’s garden is SLS, also known as sodium lauryl sulfate. It has been said more than once that this surfactant dries out the mucous membrane and creates a lot of problems. It is better not to add it to pastes or shampoos. Amway representatives constantly say that there are no harmful chemicals in their products, and the components are grown almost in the garden of the corporation’s management.

In order to effectively remove plaque, titanium and silicon dioxides are used. The abrasive index of the paste is 110. For people with sensitive teeth and damaged enamel, this is a lot. Added xylitol to the paste. The same one that is found in modern chewing gum. It is needed to normalize the acid-base balance in the mouth.

The remaining components have nothing to do with brushing your teeth at all. They ensure the formation of foam, color it in the desired color, add taste and smell.
