Dabur Red Tooth Paste - #30797
I am really stressed about my dental health these days. I saw my dentist last week, and he mentioned something about my gum health being, well, not the best. I've been having this constant bleeding when brushing, and honestly, it freaks me out a bit. He told me to consider using some natural products to help, and that got me thinking. I remember reading about Dabur Red Tooth Paste a while back and how it’s supposed to be packed with herbal ingredients. I started using Dabur Red Tooth Paste since then, thinking it might help with my gum issues. But, I've been using it for almost two weeks now, and I’m not exactly seeing a huge difference — still bleeding a little, and my teeth feel kinda gritty after brushing. Am I using it wrong?? I mean, I've tried to be consistent, but maybe I don’t get enough lather or something. Should I combine it with another product or avoid certain foods while brushing with Dabur Red Tooth Paste? I really want to get my gums healthy again, it’s super worrying. Anyone else had similar experiences or suggestions on this?

Doctors’ responses
Bleeding gums and gritty-feeling teeth can indeed be concerning, and while Dabur Red Tooth Paste is enriched with ayurvedic ingredients, it’s important to assess how you’re using it and what supporting measures might enhance its effects. Dabur Red contains ingredients like clove oil, which has anti-inflammatory properties, and mint, which helps with freshness. However, there are various factors to consider when using any herbal toothpaste for oral health.
First, check how you are brushing. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and gentle circular motions to avoid further irritation to your gums. Brushing too aggressively can exacerbate gum issues. If the paste feels gritty, make sure to thoroughly rinse your mouth to remove any residual particles. You mentioned lather — peculiarly enough, less lather doesn’t reduce the efficacy of herbal toothpastes as much as it might seem; the herbs work based on their natural medicinal properties, not the foam, unlike chemical alternatives.
Regarding diet, consider reducing sugar intake, as it can promote plaque buildup. Stay hydrated to maintain saliva production; it naturally helps to clean your mouth. Foods rich in vitamins C and D, and calcium (like leafy greens, oranges, or dairy for if your dietary choices allow) can support gum health.
Combining the toothpaste with warm salt water rinses after brushing can have additional soothing effects on your gums — mix a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water, and gently swish in your mouth for about 30 seconds. Additionally, massaging your gums with a bit of sesame oil can enhance blood circulation and tissue rebuilding, work it gently into your gums with fingertips.
Consistency is key, but if after few weeks you see no improvement or conditions worsen, it’s crucial to seek professional dental advice. If bleeding is persistent, it might indicate something beyond what a single toothpaste can rectify.
