Due to gum line recession, and tooth and mouth pain after having some crowns refilled in a poor fashion....
I have a few questions about my new toothpaste, which seems to be effective in relieving some gum pain, unlike any other toothpastes.
I know it is widely used in Asia. And I wonder if I can find it in Korean markets back home? Does anyone have a Korean market in their community? If so, do you have access to the toothpaste I mentioned?
It's name is "Eun Kang Go" Bamboo Salt toothpaste. It is an LG [company name] product.
Here, in Asia, it is about $2.50 USD per standard-sized tube.
Stateside, I find it is $9.50 USD per tube as sold on Ebay.
One active ingredient is sodium fluoride. I have no idea what percentage amount.
However, it seems to be working better, and leaves my gums feeling cleaner than Oral-B Sensitive toothpaste, which I do not like to use. Plus, Oral B seems to have a bunch of weird ingredients in the paste.
I have found any "natural pastes" with strong "essential oils" in them irritate my gums. Even though this paste has oils, I have no problems with it.
Here is the complete list I found of what's inside the Bamboo Salt toothpaste: [I hope I can find it locally, back home]:
If anyone finds it, I'd like to know where I can buy it, in the USA.
