Your Daily Use Oral Care Products Could Be Loaded with Harmful Chemicals!

It’s no secret that maintaining good oral hygiene helps you smile with confidence. Additionally, taking mindful care of your oral health significantly improves your chances of retaining healthy teeth even in old age.

But the products you use to care for your teeth and mouth might be loaded with harsh, and in many cases very harmful, chemicals. Some of these chemicals like SLS or triclosan which appear in a majority of toothpastes sold in the Indian market can have severe long term repercussions on your systemic health. The mouthwash you are using to get rid of bad breath might be drying out your mouth due to the presence of alcohol in it!

We at Daybreak make it easy for you to say no to harmful chemicals in your daily essentials. Daybreak products are thoughtfully formulated with ingredients handpicked by experts to combine the best of science and botanics.

What Harmful Chemicals Should I Watch Out For?

1. SLS – Sodium lauryl sulphate is a foaming agent originally developed for the laundry industry. Over time, it has found its way into most big brand toothpastes and several mouthwashes. Sores, tissue sloughing, and dry mouth are some of the side effects of this chemical surfactant. (1)

2. Triclosan – Triclosan is an antibacterial ingredient found in products such as soaps, body washes as well as toothpastes. Triclosan can disrupt your thyroid hormones and develop antibiotic resistance. In 2016, the US FDA banned the use of Triclosan in soaps and the ingredient was subsequently dropped by many large brands (including Colgate) in 2019. However, several toothpastes widely available in India continue using the ingredient even today. (2)

3. Titanium Dioxide – Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are classified as “possible carcinogenic to humans” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. (3)

4. Alcohol – frequently found in conventional mouthwashes, alcohol not only causes an acute burning/stinging sensation to the mouth, but can have several other deleterious effects on your oral health including disrupting the oral microbiome, causing dry mouth and putting your teeth at a higher risk for dental caries.

5. Fluoride - several studies have found a link (and likely causation effect) between fluoride exposure and developmental (read: among children) neurotoxicity resulting in IQ deficits. (4) The amount of fluoride used in toothpaste by itself is extremely unlikely to cause fluoride toxicity among adults.

However, since the 1980s, advances in dental science have rendered the use of fluoride in toothpaste unnecessary. Ingredients such as hydroxyapatite which occur naturally in the dentin and bones have been shown to be equally effective in preventing cavities while being completely non-toxic. We, at Daybreak, recommend using a fluoride-free toothpaste that contains non-toxic alternatives like HAp, bioactive glass etc. for tooth remineralization.
