Before we talk about what toothpaste is a smoke stain remover toothpaste, it is necessary to understand what smoke-stained teeth are.
Smoke-stained Teeth
The smoke-stained teeth are different from yellow teeth, and this stain is a type of dental stain left on the teeth of regular smokers. Tobacco contains a type of “caffeine” that reacts in an acidic mouth to form dental stains. Smoke stains are dark yellow or, in severe cases, black.
Toothpaste for Smoke Stains
Toothpaste that removes tobacco stains usually contains 45-55% high-friction calcium carbonate. The lower the mesh number of calcium carbonate, the higher the friction.
If you want to make a toothpaste gel that removes tobacco stains, then the toothpaste will use high-friction hydrated silica to act as its abrasive. While the cost of the raw material hydrated silica is higher than that of the raw material calcium carbonate.
Toothpaste contained both calcium carbonate and hydrated silica also exists.
In addition, in order to improve sales, some smokers toothpaste will add special ingredients, for example, red seal® smokers toothpaste 100g contains dolomite powder. However, the effectiveness of special ingredients is very limited because their content % is very low. The point is that we have to admit that adding a small number of special ingredients to toothpaste can greatly diversify marketing.
Still, the main ingredients in the basic formula of toothpaste are abrasive and water, some special ingredients can only be added as additional ingredients. Usually, the cost of special ingredients is high, which leads to the high cost of the final toothpaste.
Tooth powder for smokers usually contains high % calcium carbonate or high % silica as well.
Mouthwash for Smoke Stains
A mouthwash for smokers is usually a strongly acidic mouthwash, and its PH value is recommended to be between 5.5 to 6.0 because if the PH value is too low this mouthwash can damage the tooth surface and cause enamel demineralization.
Also, mouthwash for smokers usually contains phytic acid, citric acid, vitamin C, etc…
