Got something in your teeth? No it's not leftovers from your lunch...it's a microbead from when you brushed earlier this morning!

Say what?! Yes, you read it right. Turns out some very popular toothpastes are causing some serious dental concerns among oral care physicians who are now warning the public.

Recent news reports have made headlines, revealing that dentists are finding actual microbeads stuck within the gums of their patients!

Microbeads are often listed as polyethylene and polypropylene. However, many consumers are unaware of the ingredients they use in cosmetics.

Recently, Illinois signed legislation to prohibit the manufacture and sale of cosmetics containing microbeads by the end of 2019. Because of the harm that microbeads can cause the environment and food chain, many states are likely to follow.

Proctor & Gamble has since stated that while the beads are FDA approved, they will be removing the microbeads from some of its formulas voluntarily.

Are you a fan of toothpastes with these little beads in them? Yay or nay? Let us know with a note below!
