    Salt has long been used in oral care, as salt water gargles can relieve gum swelling and infections. Salt is a mild abrasive that helps remove stains from teeth. Salt is included in some toothpastes as it stimulates saliva production and helps protect teeth from acids and bacteria through increased saliva flow. Salt also helps reduce inflammation and balance the pH level in the mouth to prevent bacterial growth. While salt can benefit oral health, it needs to be mixed in toothpaste at particular proportions, so consumers should purchase commercial salt toothpastes rather than adding salt themselves.

    Kya Apke Toothpaste Mein Namak Zaroori

    Hai?
    You must have often heard the line, Kya apke toothpaste
    mein namak hai? But if you’ve ever wondered whether salt
    is required to get clean teeth, then, read on!

    Toothpaste have come a long way from its inception when


    they were made from varied materials such as crushed
    eggshells, ground hooves and spices. If you walk down the
    supermarket aisle or your favorite local grocery shop, you
    will find lots of different variants of toothpastes. Some are
    for sensitive teeth, some contain fluoride while others are
    for whitening, however, the most promoted ingredient in
    an Indian toothpaste these days is ‘salt’. Colgate started
    the revolutionary trend with a simple question, Kya apke
    toothpaste mein namak hai? Since then, a question has
    plagued my mind, is active salt in toothpaste really
    required? If so, what is its purpose? If you’ve had the same
    query then do read on.
    In light of my question, I decided to do a little research on
    the composition of salt-toothpaste. A key ingredient in salt
    toothpaste is sodium chloride or table salt, and in some
    cases, rock salt. Salt has been a part of oral care regime
    centuries. Salt water gurgles are a popular
    recommendation from doctors, you might even have heard
    your parents and grandparents ask you to rinse your
    mouth with lukewarm salt water. Salt water rinse is given
    to relieve patients off gum swelling, and other oral
    infections, because salt is a natural disinfectant.
    Furthermore, salt is a mild abrasive, gentle enough to
    remove stains from teeth.
    In recent years, 'alternative' toothpastes have been gaining
    prominence among Indian consumers. Companies are
    promoting toothpastes prepared from ‘household’
    ingredients such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate),
    coconut oil, cinnamon and even charcoal, besides, of
    course, salt. The popularity of salt in toothpaste was
    single handedly created by Colgate, but it appears to be
    way more than a marketing gimmick.
    The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research notes, ‘saliva
    contains several minerals that help strengthen the enamel
    on the teeth, including phosphate and calcium. The
    increased flow of saliva can help protect the teeth from
    acids and bacteria that cause decay.’ The action of active
    salt particles in toothpaste stimulates the production of
    saliva and promotes oral health. Furthermore, salt is
    naturally capable of reducing inflammation and swelling in

    the gums, thereby minimizing the chances of gingivitis.


    This is because salt balances the Ph level inside the
    mouth which makes it impossible for bacteria to thrive in
    it.

    One may ask if he/she can simply sprinkle salt on their


    toothpaste and brush teeth, it’s a stupid question but
    worth asking. Well, the answer is no. Salt in itself is quite
    abrasive and can damage your teeth enamel, so it has to
    be mixed in particular proportions in order to gain
    maximum benefits. So do not go about DIYing your
    toothpaste just yet, when there is a cheaper alternative
    already at hand. Get the Colgate Active Salt Toothpaste,
    which contains sodium chloride as well as ‘baking soda’,
    which will gently cleanse your teeth while also disinfecting
    your mouth.

    Thanks
