Have you ever thought about why you use the toothpaste that you do? Why ‘that’ brand, month after month, year after year? Advisements play an indispensable role in moulding your opinion. From minty fresh breath and the promise of pearly whites to squeezing coloured swirls out of the tube, and even namak wala toothpaste—innovations in toothpaste are few and far between, and rarely very exciting.
But this latest launch is pulling at our heartstrings… hard! Because you can wake up and smell the coffee… in your toothpaste. Dente91 has brewed (pun intended) a Coffee & Mint flavoured toothpaste so that coffee lovers can get their hit of morning coffee before it’s time for coffee!
5 Reasons The Dente91 Coffee & Mint Flavoured Toothpaste Is A Great Pick
Here are our quick thoughts about the toothpaste after using it for 2 weeks:
- You can smell the coffee: The coffee flavour isn’t just in there as tokenism. It does feel like you’re indulging in a cup ‘o joe, which is a uniquely satisfying experience while brushing your teeth. What’s more, it’s a great swap for bedtime because an actual cup of coffee would keep you up all night. But this toothpaste hits the sweet spot of giving you the flavour and the aroma minus the buzz. It is also complemented by the flavour of mint for that quintessential ‘zingy fresh feeling’.
- The toothpaste has unique functional ingredients like Nano-Hydroxyapatite and Lactoferrin: Upon investigation, we found out that nano-hydroxyapatite is a healthy and natural alternative to fluoride. It prevents cavities, helps cavity healing, and takes care of your overall gum and oral health. As for lactoferrin, it is a super protein found in bovine milk, and mother’s milk. It protects your oral cavity against pathogens by getting rid of harmful bacteria, improves gum health, and also controls bad breath.
- It is safe for long-term use: The Dente91 Coffee & Mint Toothpaste is free from SLS, fluoride, paraben, gluten, peroxide and triclosan, all of which have detrimental side-effects over the long run. This makes it an ideal choice for the long term.
- It is antimicrobial: This makes the toothpaste a great resolve against the build-up of bad bacteria in the oral cavity, especially near the gum line. Over time, an antimicrobial toothpaste helps protect the teeth against plaque damage, gingivitis, and bleeding gums.
- The toothpaste is 100% vegetarian: Among oral health trends, a lot of demand has been seen lately for ‘natural’, ‘vegan’, or ‘vegetarian’ toothpaste. So, a vegetarian toothpaste alternative is always good to have for people who would prefer it.

5 Tips On How To Use Toothpaste For Optimal Health
Brushing your teeth is not enough. There are certain techniques and tricks you need to follow to take care of your oral health and hygiene.
1. Brush Twice A Day
Our schoolbooks have always emphasized the importance of brushing twice a day and yet some of us overlook it, using lack of time as an excuse. Either you are in the habit of brushing once every day or skip brushing at night at times, at your convenience. Make brushing twice a day a habit, come what may, to prioritize oral health. A bonus benefit is that once you’ve brushed your teeth at night, you’re unlikely to indulge in midnight snacking because it brings down your cravings.
2. Use A Soft-Bristled Brush
The market is flooded with bristles of various varieties, majorly categorised into three types—soft, medium, and hard. This often leaves us confused about the one that is the best for our oral health. Would soft be too soft to remove all the food remnants stuck to our teeth? Or, would hard bristles be unsafe for our teeth and cause bleeding gums? The recommended one here is soft bristles as they are effective in cleaning your teeth well, without hurting the gums.
3. Follow The Right Brushing Technique
Hold the toothbrush at an angle of 45°, starting from your gum line. Brushing only on the outside surface isn’t enough. You need to brush the inner surfaces of your teeth as well, along with the molars. Don’t miss out on brushing every nook and corner of your teeth and be gentle with the strokes. Wondering how does toothpaste clean your teeth? This is how. Last but not the least, be gentler on your tongue and gums.
4. Don’t Forget To Scrape Your Tongue
Scraping your tongue is as important as brushing your teeth thoroughly, to remove the bacteria in your oral cavity. It also helps keep your breath fresher for a longer time.
5. Finish With A Mouthwash
Mouthwashes are antimicrobial and many of them are antiseptic too. A mouthwash freshens your breath, whitens your teeth, and protects you from common oral concerns like gingivitis and plaque which occur as a result of bad oral health.
On that note, shop the Dente91 Coffee & Mint Toothpaste and if you’re looking for a mouthwash, try the Cool Mint Alcohol-Free one by Dente91.
