Most modern toothpastes sold in stores do not contain natural ingredients. In pursuit of a snow-white smile, manufacturers often forget about the health of you and me, so before buying toothpaste, we recommend reading the ingredients on the package.
According to dentists, a good toothpaste should not only whiten teeth, but also be useful. For example, due to their abrasiveness, whitening pastes should be used carefully, as too frequent use will thin the tooth enamel and cause unpleasant sensitivity. Anti-caries toothpastes contain fluoride, but its frequent use is unsafe, especially for children. This is why children's toothpaste is less aggressive.
Taking care of your health, we have put together a selection of five good toothpastes.

What problems can toothpaste help solve?
Dentists note that there are no universal toothpastes that can cope with all conditions in the oral cavity at once. When choosing, as well as to achieve maximum effect, you need to focus specifically on the problem.
What problems will the paste help solve?
- plaque on tooth enamel;
- prevention of caries or other dental pathologies;
- reduction of increased sensitivity of the dentition;
- improvement of gum condition;
- whitening tooth enamel.
Types of toothpastes
All toothpastes that are presented on the Russian market can be divided into several groups:
- hygienic - often marked Fhyto, intended for daily use, they cope with bad breath and remove plaque accumulated on the teeth during the day;
- therapeutic and prophylactic – clean tooth enamel, and, depending on the active component, prevent certain conditions of the oral cavity (for example, toothpaste for sensitive teeth is always marked Sensitive);
- medicinal – used for diseases and are often marked Active;
- Bleaching products are abrasive products marked White.
Dentists note that there are no safe toothpastes with a whitening effect, so they must be used carefully. They can scratch tooth enamel and thin gums, making them more likely to bleed. It is better to use them not on a regular basis, but periodically.
Bleaching with enzymes

Black toothpaste from China: product features
If you look at the large assortment of teeth cleaning products presented on the Russian market, you will notice that most toothpastes are white. There are also multi-colored ones, but they are more intended for children. This is why the Chinese oral product, which is black in color, stands out so much.
The paste has this pigment thanks to a special component - crushed bamboo charcoal. The manufacturer noted that this is the best whitening agent that is safe for use and does not affect the condition of tooth enamel and gums. In addition, the Chinese have been using coal soot for a long time, more than a thousand years, to clean their teeth.
Features of black toothpaste:
- homogeneous consistency (grains of soot are not felt in it);
- the taste is sweetish and slightly menthol;
- brushes teeth gently, but there is a taste in the mouth, like after using black coal;
- has a whitening effect.
The manufacturer notes that with prolonged use of the product, plaque disappears on the teeth, and the color of the enamel noticeably lightens. It is intended for people with nicotine addiction and coffee lovers. You can use the paste every day, since it is natural based, without the use of abrasives.
In the reviews, users noted that it may not be suitable for everyone in terms of taste. It does not create a quick refreshing effect, does not remove bad breath from the mouth, but at the same time it has a gentle effect on tooth enamel and is inexpensive.

What to look for when choosing?
Dentists note that every person should have several toothpastes. One is for daily use, the other is for a therapeutic effect in case of a problem in the oral cavity. A hygienic, therapeutic and prophylactic product is suitable for daily use, and a whitening and medicinal toothpaste for periodic use.
What to look for when choosing:
- abrasive (cleaning substance) - in cheap pastes it is calcium carbonate (chalk), in expensive ones - sodium bicarbonate (salt) or silicon compound (the size of the abrasive should be medium 70 - 80 RDA, high levels scratch tooth enamel, small ones are included in the paste for sensitive teeth and children's products, since they have a gentle effect);
- fluorine - it should be included in a small amount (up to 2 mg per 1 g), oversaturation of the body with fluoride is toxic, but it is necessary for tooth enamel (lack of fluorine - caries, excess leads to the appearance of spots on tooth enamel, changing its color from yellow to brown).
You should not buy those toothpastes that state that they provide dental care for 24 hours. They often contain too much antibiotic, which kills not only microbes, but also beneficial flora, causing dysbiosis in the oral cavity.
Rating
While teeth cleaning products from China are not popular on the Russian market, they are gaining an ever larger army of fans every year. Users note that their quality is not inferior to world-famous European brands, and they are also affordable for domestic consumers.
We present the ranking of the best toothpastes for 2022:
- Dentavite Sensitive. Suitable for weakened and thin tooth enamel, reduces sensitivity, protects against caries and promotes the penetration of minerals into the tooth. Regular use of the paste restores microdamage to the enamel and reduces sensitivity. The cost of the product is in the middle price category.
- SATO Access. It occupies a prominent place in the market of medicinal and therapeutic-and-prophylactic pastes. It contains myrrh, chamomile and ratania root, which relieves inflammation, reduces gum bleeding, reduces swelling and destroys bacteria. There are no whitening elements in it. But it is almost impossible to find in pharmacies. In terms of its properties, this drug is very similar to the above-mentioned Chinese toothpaste, but costs much more.
- Oralcare Protezione Gengive (Biorepair). This is a professional treatment and prophylactic remedy, applicable for paradontosis, gingivitis, periodontitis and severe damage to tooth enamel. The composition contains vitamins and hyaluronic acid. The product is expensive and is not sold in most pharmacies.
- Splat. Paste with bioactive calcis to restore tooth enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. Eliminates plaque on teeth, improves gum health, but takes a long time to wash out and has a specific taste that is not suitable for everyone.
- "Acepta Sensitive". Suitable for those who have an excess of fluoride in the body. It foams well, has a pleasant mint taste, reduces sensitivity, removes plaque, and maintains the natural whiteness of teeth. But it contains dye.
- "Apadent." Toothpaste actively restores tooth enamel, destroys caries, and provides high-quality oral hygiene, but the cost is high.

This pasta is an all-time favorite among children. They adore it for its incredibly pleasant strawberry taste. Parents appreciate its composition - it does not contain alcohol or aggressive substances. It perfectly cleans the child's teeth and strengthens the gums. A bottle weighing 50 grams lasts a long time, as very little paste is consumed thanks to the convenient dispenser. The child uses exactly as much toothpaste as is required for 1 cleaning. The manufacturer indicated the age for which it was made - children from 3 to 14 years old. The seller packs the product well and sends it out immediately.
Good to use with an electric toothbrush. The aroma is accepted, strawberry. My daughter loved brushing her teeth.

Review of whitening pastes with medicinal herbs
There are several teeth cleaning products on the Russian market that are not inferior in properties and quality to their European counterparts, but are affordable.
CHAOJIE and TianWu pastes made in China have good whitening properties, which are achieved due to the content of natural ingredients.
CHAOJIE toothpaste is intended for use by persons over 12 years of age. It not only has a whitening effect, but also is antibacterial and ensures good oral hygiene. It gently removes plaque from tooth enamel without scratching it. It also freshens breath well, removing bad breath, relieves tooth sensitivity, protects them from caries and kills pathogenic bacteria.
TianWu herbal whitening paste is also antiparandantosis. It is used for gum diseases, restores the oral mucosa, makes gums strong and teeth white. It contains dendrobium from the Orchid family. This plant has been used in Chinese medicine for over a thousand years. Due to its medicinal properties, it is applicable for many diseases.
TianWu has not yet made it into the ranking of the best toothpastes, but is actively increasing its momentum in the Russian market. Those who have already used the product note that it has a good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. The paste actively eliminates inflammation of the gums, strengthens and whitens teeth, and fights bad breath. In addition to denrodium, there is an extract of tian qi, safflower flower, angelica dahurian and honeysuckle flower bud.
Thanks to many natural components in the composition, the paste has good characteristics, therefore it is applicable in the presence of various dental pathologies. But if you have an allergic reaction to one of the components, you should not use it.
Review of bactericidal Chinese toothpaste Biao Bang
This teeth cleaning product also contains a large number of natural ingredients. It has high cleansing properties, restores the integrity of tooth enamel, copes well with plaque and promotes the dissolution of tartar.
Toothpaste has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antiseptic effects. The composition contains mint oil, eucalyptus extract and snake venom.
According to reviews, Chinese toothpaste Biao Bang removes plaque well and removes tartar after just a week of regular use. The instructions say that you need to use the product at least twice a day, but it is better to brush your teeth after each meal. The cost is 410 rubles.
How does whitening toothpaste work?
All manufacturers of modern toothpastes shout about the effectiveness of their products. However, not every paste will be truly effective and, most importantly, safe. To begin with, the doctor decided to immediately dispel the myth about bleaching.
“Only a dentist can whiten teeth efficiently and safely using a special whitening system. This procedure makes it possible to make not only the tooth enamel white, but also the dentin (the inner part of the tooth, the tissue located under the enamel). In turn, toothpastes only help remove plaque and polish teeth, without having a whitening effect on deeper tissues,” the doctor explained.
Federal News Agency /
And yet it cannot be denied that such toothpastes are beneficial and clean teeth well. Why do whitening toothpastes have such an effect? As a rule, they contain one of three active ingredients:
- soft abrasives - such substances have a gentle effect, carefully cleansing the enamel of impurities and polishing it, giving teeth a natural shine. Such substances include magnesium carbonate, hydrated alumina, calcium carbonate;
- hydrogen peroxide - don’t be scared, because this is a very weak solution. Yes, in professional whitening products the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is much higher, but in pastes for home use its content is within the safe range. Such toothpastes really effectively clean teeth, making them smooth and brighter. In addition, it is worth adding that most of them are suitable for daily use;
- Carbamide peroxide is a substance that, when decomposed, releases the already familiar hydrogen peroxide, as well as urea. According to recent studies, such pastes best clean enamel due to high rates of penetration into the upper layers of the tooth. Our doctor noted that the effect of cleansing with such pastes can be easily compared with the result obtained from pastes with hydrogen peroxide;
- sodium hexametaphosphate - pastes containing it effectively remove not only plaque and stains from tooth enamel, but also fight well against the formation of tartar, which often causes various gum diseases;
- abrasive enzymes - after eating, these substances break down food residues on the enamel and effectively polish the teeth.
“The selection of toothpaste is always very individual. It all depends on the patient’s lifestyle, the presence of bad habits, his diet and the composition of saliva. Sometimes patients come to me asking why a certain toothpaste helped their friends or relatives get a snow-white smile, but it had no effect on their teeth. The answer here is simple - it is not suitable for the patient. Therefore, many try several toothpastes before finding their ideal option,” the doctor shared a case from her practice.
