When you shop on online platforms such as a treasure, a certain east, and a certain duoduo, you have never seen this:

A toothpaste that claims to be able to repair tooth holes.
These toothpastes are topped with pictures of "worm" teeth that are clearly P up:

Holding the pre- and intraoperative pictures of the dentist's filling, using the results of the dentist's labor, he claimed that he had repaired the tooth hole with this toothpaste:

In the name of Japanese research and development, fraudulent import propaganda to defraud consumers, but also carefully give a principle explanation, but this principle does not hold:

What's more frightening is that as long as you search for the word "toothpaste", they will appear in the first place of the search box of some e-commerce platforms, mixed with ordinary big-name toothpaste, and the number of reviews and sales is even more invincible:
There is also no toothpaste capable of removing the calculus, which can only be removed by regular flossing. Image source: Network
The comments were filled with obvious exaggerations, and even dentists had to call out "miracles":

What's more, under the banner of "repairing children's tooth decay", the black hand is extended to children and parents:

However, what is the result of the fix?
Parents think that some toothpaste can really fill teeth, relying on toothpaste and not taking their children for oral examination in time, delaying the discovery and treatment. The slight tooth decay of a 10-year-old child was dragged into severe caries, losing 6!

Although children at this age may still have teeth replacement, most of them are already permanent teeth, and once the permanent teeth are lost, they will not grow again. Even for deciduous teeth, if periapical periapitis is not treated in time, it will affect the development of subsequent permanent teeth.
Let the dentures follow the child for a lifetime, such a black heart merchant I will ask, is your conscience not painful?
Dentist V "Magic Dentist" also recently released an article and pointed out that this marketing method:
"Beyond the scope of my knowledge as a doctor, beyond the limits of a dentist's professional reserves, beyond the thinking space of normal people." This marketing goes beyond the bottom line of the human conscience!"
Important things to say three times:
No toothpaste can fill a hole in the teeth!
No toothpaste can fill a hole in the teeth!
No toothpaste can fill a hole in the teeth!
Indeed, some toothpastes on the market, such as ComfortDa, Regenerate, etc., use more advanced technology, which can protect tooth enamel and alleviate tooth sensitivity to a certain extent.
but! This effect is very limited, only for very slight damage to the surface of the tooth, and it is unlikely to help you "fill the hole".
In other words, as long as you can see caries, the most convenient and cheapest way is to go to the dentist.
After all, in the early stage of caries filling, the most expensive one is only a few hundred yuan. If you drag until the whole tooth is rotten, the price of a mouth full of porcelain teeth may be enough to buy a car.
In addition, some domestic e-commerce platforms really dare to sell anything, and even appeared "DIY dental filling" suits:
Have a tooth hole, try to make up for it yourself?????

Teeth filling need to carry out very strict disinfection, take alcohol to apply a coating on the feeling that everything is fine, not afraid of infection?
Dental filling materials are in direct contact with saliva, and the purchase of this three-no-no product will produce toxins in the long run?
And professionally speaking, some of the holes that look similar in appearance only need to be simply filled, and some need to be treated with root canals. Rotten dentin is not clean, even if the surface is filled, the inside will continue to moth, the symptoms are not cured, not to mention, it is easy to delay the disease.
What is even more frightening is that many of these products have sales of 10,000 or 20,000 pieces.
Behind this, how many parents are giving children "DIY fillings", how many middle-aged and elderly people are secretly saving a few money for their children to see their teeth, and how many people are difficult to find a reliable dentist in areas with underdeveloped medical conditions, simply give up and choose to do it themselves?
How many teeth and lives are being destroyed by these products?
Special reminder
In brushing teeth, the process of "brushing" plays a major role. Toothpaste has friction agents and cleaners in it, which have an effect on removing tartar and plaque, and generally take three minutes to take effect, so we have always stressed that brushing must be more than three minutes.
No toothpaste has a "miracle effect", just choose the one that suits you. Brushing your teeth frequently, using scientific brushing methods, and flossing between teeth that cannot be brushed is the focus.
The number of dentists has doubled in the past decade, but many townships and rural dentists are still few and low,000, and residents urgently need oral hygiene education and regular oral examinations.
Hoping for "magic toothpaste" or even "DIY treatment" at home may make dental health problems worse.
If your parents and relatives are in an inconvenient environment to see teeth, please pay attention to their oral health in time, help them find more suitable dental care and treatment methods, and go to the hospital in time to find dental problems.
