Toothpaste from Japan and Korea

Benefits of toothpastes from Japan

Manufacturers of Japanese oral care products give preference to natural ingredients. Products made in Japan are a guarantee of quality: the raw materials used in the production of pastes are certified and meet safety requirements in all respects.

The pastes are hypoallergenic and suitable for people with a tendency to anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions. The Japanese have abandoned aggressive compounds containing silicones and sulfates. Every year the number of fans of Asian products is growing exponentially. People choose Japanese products for several reasons:

• no contraindications or restrictions on use,
• unobtrusive perfumed fragrance,
• pleasant and light texture,
• The products are easily washed off with water.

Types of toothpastes by purpose

Dentists distinguish 3 main types of toothpastes: hygienic, therapeutic and preventive and for children.

Hygienic pastes: long-lasting freshness

The main purpose of hygienic toothpaste is to provide cleansing and refreshing effects. Hygienic paste is the best choice for people with healthy teeth and gums. The composition of such products includes:

• abrasive (cleaning) components;
• binding ingredients that give products a gel-like consistency;
• moisturizing ingredients that improve the texture of pastes;
• foaming components;
• aromatic and flavoring additives.

Important! There are no specialized medicinal substances in hygienic pastes.

Therapeutic and prophylactic compositions: complex and highly specialized

If you have problems with your teeth or gums, you should pay attention to medicated pastes. In accordance with the specific set of components included in the product, the purpose of the paste is determined.

Depending on the type of impact, the means are distinguished:

1. Anti-inflammatory , helping with inflammation and bleeding gums. Suitable for the prevention of periodontitis, gingivitis, stomatitis. The composition of such pastes is dominated by plant extracts, antiseptics, trace elements and enzymes.
2. Whitening agents (very important for smokers), the action of which is aimed at eliminating yellowness from the surface of tooth enamel. Dentists do not recommend using such compositions more than twice a week - regular exposure to cleansing components leads to increased tooth sensitivity and weakening of enamel.

1. Anti-caries - pastes that help prevent the occurrence and development of caries due to the high content of fluoride or calcium phosphate.
2. Pastes for teeth with increased sensitivity - formulas that reduce the severity of discomfort during meals and oral care. Thanks to special substances (desensitizers), pastes penetrate into the microchannels of teeth and “close” existing holes.

Charcle - a new generation filling paste

The official statement states that the active components of the toothpaste dissolve the upper layers of tooth enamel, and after three minutes they crystallize. This allows you to seal cavities that form when tooth tissue is destroyed. The company that produces Charcle claims that the innovative product restores the original integrity of tooth enamel.

The products have not yet conquered the Russian market, but there are already people willing to cooperate with the brand. The main disadvantage is the price: the product belongs to the high price segment. Today it is almost impossible to purchase Charcle toothpaste in Russia. However, brushing your teeth does not replace regular visits to the dentist.

Distinctive features

The Charcle brand does not need marketing, so the white and gray packaging may seem too inconspicuous. The Japanese value simplicity, versatility and ergonomics; guided by these principles, they came up with and developed a laconic tube design. The manufacturer abandoned the classic white shade and offered the consumer a charcoal-black composition.

To thoroughly clean the oral cavity, one pea applied to the brush is enough. Menthol is almost never added to Japanese oral care products. Pastes that seal holes work great in combination with rinses.

The product freshens breath all day long and protects enamel and dentin from coloring foods and sugar-containing drinks. The composition includes calcium and fluoride, which play an important role in dental health. Filling paste effectively cleans the surface of teeth and interdental space and has whitening properties. The main difference from European analogues is the presence of hydroxyapatite in the mineral composition, which is the main structural formation of the enamel prism. During production, it is synthesized from sea shells.

How does the paste work?

An active substance called hydroxyapatite acts as an element that remineralizes and strengthens tooth enamel. The action of the paste begins after it comes into contact with the tooth surface and saliva.

Food plaque is inhabited by bacteria that can produce acids, under the influence of which demineralization of enamel occurs, and dental plaque is a breeding ground for increasing the population of microorganisms. The paste components penetrate microscopic cracks and activate crystallization processes. Restored tissues are practically no different from natural ones.

It is noteworthy that after cleaning is completed, hydroxyapatite is not washed out of the enamel structure. Its crystals help get rid of hypersensitivity, reducing the severity of pain reactions to thermal and chemical irritants.

Charcle paste: fills teeth, composts brains

August 28, 2015

This week, 3 people made me a request for a certain Japanese toothpaste that seals holes in the teeth, so much so that the dentist is already going through the woods. As usual, I started looking, and found something that honestly, my hair is standing on end, no shampoo helps to nail it back)))

Let's start with the fact that the pasta depicted in the photo on blogs and websites that have picked up and taken information from each other without checking - so, the paste itself is Korean, everything on it is Korean. Secondly, the paste, judging by the color and the cute Asian incorrect name, is charcoal. Without reading any sources yet, I immediately thought that if this is such a serious dental paste, then it is unlikely that coal will be shoved into it, since it is a simple folk component, let’s say, like oak bark. Ok, Korean charcoal paste, made with some effort, but you can find it - here it is

8 years ago someone already touched this paste and was surprised, apparently, then Asian charcoal products were still new

I found some Korean blog, a post from 2014 with a note where the name of the inventor of the paste is given incorrectly, but the photo with the left charcoal paste is already there.

Is it really possible for sources that are so left-wing to make it into the news, and even to the Daily Telegraph?! Well, let's take a cup of tea, cross our legs, open the latest issue of the Daily Telegraph... wait a minute. The tea has long cooled down, because the news about the Japanese paste that seals holes is already 10.5 years old!

In general, it's a duck, of course. I have no doubt that somewhere in Chinese workshops they are already riveting boxes with the miraculous Charcle paste for days on end, so be careful, this is a complete scam. Such a paste exists, but it has nothing to do with filling teeth. The question is, who dug up this completely stupid boy and for what?

To be fair, it is worth saying that the scientist Yamagishi Kazue also exists, more precisely, she is a female dentist, the head of a teeth whitening clinic, in which she uses her own technology, by the way, with hydroxyapatite ($600-800 per course). For about 15 years she has been conducting research in the field of creating artificial enamel; there are many publications about this in scientific journals and the press.

Indeed, the enamel is amazing, it restores the surface so that it cannot be distinguished from the real thing.

For specialists, here is the report of the development team in English. Here is an article in the journal Nature from February 2005.

I wrote a letter to the clinic about the paste, but I didn’t receive an answer, and there’s no point in calling, since everything is clear with it

A substance that can integrate into tooth enamel and repair microcracks is called hydroxyapatite - the enamel itself consists of it, and it is synthesized from sea shells. In Japan there are several pastes with hydroxyapatite, one of them - Shellpika - generally consists of 35% of it.

By the way, I have it - the sensations from it are strange, but apparently we just need to look at the results, not the enamel. But I have little interest in teeth, so I don’t notice the effect. The most famous brand of pastes with hydroxyapatite is, of course, Apagard. They have a large line, ranging from professional Royal to children's Apakids. These pastes have been successfully sold in Japan for a long time, although they cannot replace fillings, although they smooth out small cracks and defects, make the enamel more uniform and smooth, as a result of which less plaque settles on the teeth. Apart from these pastes, science has not yet advanced further - it is not yet possible to reduce artificial enamel to such performance characteristics that would allow it to be used at home independently.

Can Charcle replace the filling process?

In medicine, there are several stages of enamel destruction. Here is a topographic classification of caries:

• caries in the spot stage: the enamel changes color due to the appearance of chalky inclusions,
• superficial caries: the chalk spot becomes rough,
• medium caries: destruction of the enamel-dentin junction,
• deep caries: pulp damage.

Regular use of the paste is rather a preventative measure. Charcle will only help in the initial stages. With extensive destruction of hard tissues, highly qualified dental care is needed.
