Episode Description
In this episode, I break down the world of toothpaste ingredients in a way that finally makes sense for dental hygiene students.
From abrasives to humectants to the different types of fluoride, this episode helps you understand not just what is in toothpaste — but why it matters in clinic, on boards, and in patient education.
Toothpaste is one of the most common products you’ll recommend as a hygienist — but most students never get a clear breakdown of what’s inside it.
Understanding ingredients helps you make evidence‑based recommendations, build trust with patients, and feel more confident in clinic and on boards.
