What does it mean if a person says "I used facial cleanser as toothpaste"?

"I used facial cleanser as toothpaste" may sound strange, but someone did. What exactly does this sentence mean?

We need to make it clear that facial cleanser and toothpaste are two completely different products. Facial cleanser is a product for cleaning facial skin, and toothpaste is a product for cleaning mouth and teeth. They are different in principle and composition, so they cannot be confused.

Why do people use facial cleanser as toothpaste? It may be because they confused the containers or names of the two in a hurry, or it may be because they chose this "substitute" to save time and money in buying toothpaste.

Whatever the reason, we should be alert to this behavior. Because the ingredients of facial cleanser are not specially used to clean the mouth and teeth, it may have an impact on oral health. If used for a long time, it may lead to problems such as bad breath and dental caries. Therefore, it is still necessary to use products specially used for oral cleaning.

In addition to the above hazards, using facial cleanser as toothpaste may also affect the cleaning effect of the product. The ingredients of facial cleanser are mainly foaming agent and surfactant. If used in the oral cavity, these ingredients may not be able to clean teeth and oral cavity well, and may easily remain in the oral cavity, affecting breathing.

If there is really no toothpaste, it is urgent to clean your mouth. The doctor suggests that you can rinse your mouth with warm water or clean your mouth with salt solution. These two methods are safer and more reliable than using facial cleanser as toothpaste.

It is incorrect to use facial cleanser as toothpaste, which may affect oral health and can not clean teeth and mouth well. Use products specially used for oral cleaning and maintain good oral hygiene habits.
