Attention women! Here’s is why you need to be careful while selecting your soaps and toothpaste

Women exposed to triclosan — a chemical widely used as an antibacterial in soaps, tooth pastes and other personal care products — are more likely to develop osteoporosis, a study has found. Triclosan is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that has been banned by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from over-the-counter hand sanitiser in recent years.

The research is the first of its kinds to investigate the association between triclosan exposure with bone mineral density and osteoporosis.

A person can be exposed to triclosan via consumer products — like soaps, hand sanitisers, toothpaste, and mouthwash — and contaminated water.

“Laboratory studies have demonstrated that triclosan may have potential to adversely affect the bone mineral density in cell lines or in animals,” said a researcher.

“However, little is known about the relationship between triclosan and human bone health,” he said. The researchers analysed data from 1,848 women to determine the link between triclosan and bone health. They found women with higher levels of triclosan in their urine were more likely to have bone issues.

5 easy ways to soothe teeth sensitivity

Oral health is a window to a person’s overall health and well-being and amongst that teeth sensitivity is one of the main problems that can range from slight discomfort to severe pain — so make sure you are taking care of it properly.A Periodontist, shares some simple tips to ease teeth sensitivity:
 

• The quickest and easiest way would be to switch to a specialised toothpaste formulated to take care of sensitive teeth.
• Change your brushing habits. If you’re not using a soft toothbrush and if you’re scrubbing your teeth vigorously, you might worsen the condition. Hard brushing can wear away the enamel, increasing the sensitivity in your teeth.
• Keep a check on acidic food and drinks as they might wear down the teeth enamel. Limit the consumption of these foods and drinks, and try to brush about 20 minutes after eating them (not earlier, or the brushing may hurt your enamel further).
• Teeth whitening treatments or alcohol-based mouthwash can make things even worse, so steer clear of them.
• In case your problem continues even after these changes then you must visit your dentist.

• Individuals with gastric activity problems or gastric reflux should be treated with appropriate antacids as acid reflux leads to demineralization action resulting in dental enamel erosion.
• People who have parafunctional habits such as teeth clenching or bruxism are advised to wear a night guard.
