There are many choices of toothpaste on the market. Some claim to whiten, some desensitize, some take care of gingivitis, and some take care of all your dental needs. I give out samples in my office of several brands. I have a hard time advocating one toothpaste over another, except for sensitivity protection and personal preference. What I have found is that some toothpaste works better for certain people than others. I grew up using Crest toothpaste which does an overall excellent job. Crest tends to be a bit grittier than Colgate as far as the paste. Some people advocate Colgate. I have found Colgate not to be a smoother texture than Crest. I will say many people who come to see me with sensitivity issues seem to use Colgate Tartar Control toothpaste. Thus, I tend to ask about Colgate Tartar Control usage when I see sensitivity or at least toothbrush abrasion. Sensodyne is a great toothpaste for sensitivity. It comes in different variants but the overall effect is the same. This concise blog post about toothpaste is just that -- concise.
