But, if the triclosan content is excessive in toothpaste, it is easy to lead to cancer. According to the new national standard about toothpaste published in 2009, the triclosan content must be no more than 0.3%. Therefore, we should pay attention to some details in daily use of toothpaste.

Thirdly, do not think that drug toothpaste could play the role of dentist. We all know that medicines all have certain toxins. So the long-term of using drug toothpaste is very dangerous. What’s more, the drug toothpaste contains very few amount of medicine and it has no treatment to dental disease. To avoid the oral cancer or other issues caused by long-term non-treatment, patients should go to normal hospital to see doctors instead of relying on drug toothpaste.

Although we have no acute opinion about it, we should know the chemical structure name of triclosan is trichloro hydroxy diphenyl ether, and its common names include INN, BAN, and USAN and so on. When people purchase the toothpaste, they should notice the content if there are the above ingredients showing in the list.
