Toothpaste and sunscreen have more in common than you might think ☀️🦷
1️⃣ Both work topically. The biggest benefit comes from what they touch, not what gets swallowed.
2️⃣ Both come in different strengths and need to be reapplied regularly to keep doing their job.
3️⃣ Exposure time matters. The longer teeth are exposed to foods and drinks (and skin to the sun), the more they breakdown.
You wouldn’t put sunscreen on once and expect it to protect you all day. The same goes for toothpaste! Brushing twice a day with toothpaste helps protect teeth from all those summer snacks, treats, and juice boxes. 🍉🧃☀️
