If your toothpaste contains this ingredient it will stain your teeth.

Today I was looking at a toothpaste that I received as a sample.

 I was horrified to see what was actually admitted on the package.

 

 

 

 "products containing stannous fluoride may produce surface staining of the teeth"
 
"adequate toothbrushing may prevent these stains which are not harmful or permanent and   
   may be removed by your dentist"

"this Crest is specially formulated to help prevent staining"

"see your dentist regularly"

So basically if you use a toothpaste that contains fluoride stannous it can stain your teeth.

It does say that these stains are not "harmful" or "permanent" but they "may" be removed by your dentist.

 

Would anybody use a product containing this ingredient if they were told this?

 

So is this how the dental industry ensures repeat customers? haha

 

This is why you should ALWAYS READ WHATEVER YOU PUT ON & INTO YOUR BODY !!

 

 Here is another ingredient in toothpaste that I think you should avoid (especially if you are giving it to your kids)
