If you use Crest toothpaste, youll want to check the ingredient list for polyethylene. Polyethylene is a plastic used in several products such as garbage containers, grocery bags, bulletproof vests, and even knee replacements. It’s also in some toothpaste products in the form of microbeads. Dentists say those microbeads can get trapped in your gums, causing more bacteria to enter. If it was left in there, it could potentially cause some gingival irritation, explained Dr. Brian Moore. Any time you have any foreign body in the pocket around the tooth, its a breeding ground for bacteria.
