Question : I have asthma and have trouble breathing when eating and brushing my teeth with toothpaste. I get breathless and short of breath. Can you recommend any safe toothpastes?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Make sure your toothpaste is free from salicylates, fluoride, artificial sweeteners for example saccharin,and sodium lauryl sulphate. Try to avoid anything with the words glycol, propylene, polyol.

Propolis toothpaste has a unique formula to freshen your breath & to help protect against plaque & gum disease. Propolis is a natural substance produced by the honey bee and is composed of organic acids, flavinoids, minerals & other essential elements.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Wish you a good health.

Regards

Dr Paparaja S
