questionswhat toothpaste does everybody use and/or…


Oh, one paste is as good as another to glue'em back in when they fall out. However, wallpaper paste tastes yukky.

On a practical note, why do you need to use the SAME toothpaste, anyway? That wasn't in my marriage vows...


@vinithehat: The cake is a lie.

I use coffee to brush my teeth and wine as my mouthwash.


If you want a serious answer, I use Tom's of Maine SLS free toothpaste. Most commercial toothpastes of SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) which causes the foaming action. (This is also in shampoos and tons of other stuff). SLS is a known hormone disruptor and toxin. Also many have paraben's are linked to breast cancer. The fennel is fantastic.


Here is an interesting chart listing different abrasive values of toothpaste. According to the site, the lower RDA value of the toothpaste, the safer it is on your teeth, however in general the less polish / whitening ability it has.

I just grab a toothpaste and go with it. There's too many wild claims and choices to make so I just give up and grab the cheap stuff.


I use Colgate MaxFresh with Mini Breath Strips (the clean mint flavor).


Crest Pro Health.

I started using this two years ago and as soon as I used it, my teeth felt like I had just come from the dentist. It was absolutely amazing. (People seriously commented on how white my teeth are, then again I also have an electric toothbrush...)
This is the only thing that a commercial has gotten me interested into buying and I just can't get over how well it works (I 'made' my whole family convert to it :P).

There are several kinds depending on your preference, but I use the extra whitening(or something like that) kind.

Your husband is right, just my 2¢.


Sensodine!! That's for sure!! It's pricy but awesome!


Crest Pro-Health or Colgate Total are the best two out their. Crest came up with a new way to integrate stannous fluoride into the past that makes it more effective and Colgate came up Triclosan which gives better protection against the harmful bacterial in your mouth.

Anyone who says toothpaste is BS is ignorant and the porbably have cavities.

Oh, and if you're looking for the very best toothpaste out there that will clean your teeth and freshen your breath... try Bacon Toothpaste!


I've always used Crest. I'm pushing 60 and have NO cavities. I especially like the cinnamon flavor - yummy!


Toms. Better flavors than major brands, natural, etc. Fennel, Orange/mango, and Strawberry are good.


I've used Aquafresh Extreme Clean Whitening Mint Experience for years. I get complements on my teeth regularly and my teeth always feel really smooth and clean afterward.

Recently I tried Aquafresh Iso-Active Whitening. I've got to say, I'm not impressed. My first and main concern is the propellant used. When I first started using it, it seemed like the pressure was too high, because the toothpaste would always come out way too fast. Now that the can is about half gone, it comes out at an acceptable rate. My second complaint is the fact that the toothpaste foams up so much. The way the nozzle's designed, the tube where the paste comes out gets some toothpaste residue in it and the paste continues to foam out for several minutes after applying some to the brush. My third and final complaint is the taste. It's not bad, but it has a weird taste besides mint. I think it's caused by the propellant used. Whatever it is, it just tastes a little strange while brushing.


I know someone who's teeth are like the stars...because they come out at night.
Sorry, that's all I had to add, except to brush and floss regularly.


I use Sensodyne Whitening. Smoker with sensetivity - I like it, it works. My hubs (non-smoker, no sensetivity) likes it as well. I also like Topol.


I usually go for whatever's on sale between Colgate or Crest. I don't have a huge amount of brand loyalty in my toothpaste.

Another option if you're really worried about the ingredients of your toothpaste is to just use baking soda. A little shake of cinnamon helps if the taste bothers you. It leaves your mouth feeling really clean and whitens your teeth.


colgate or crest.

usually you can get them free or even get paid to take them at CVS, RITEAID, or walgreens.

they'll have them for say, $2.99, and offer their own version of their store's play money in an amount of $2, and you can use a manufacturer coupon from the toothpaste's website or the sunday paper worth on average $1.

so, it costs $2.99
use a $1 manufacturer coupon to make it $1.99.
pay the $1.99, the get back $2 (cvs= extrabuck, RA-+up reward, Wags=Register reward)

that $2 "playmoney" is valid for 2 weeks to a month after being issued. EVERY WEEK these stores have some item that is free or a money-maker after their promo and/or manufacturer coupon.
stop in to that store once a week to burn your ecb/RR/+upReward, and you'll have free toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, candy, bodywash, etc overflowing from your cabinets within a few weeks. At any given time I have at least 100 of each of those, and sell them once or twice a year at a garage sale for a nice profit.


@minkeygirl7: sodium lauryl sulfate is f-ing awesome. I wouldn't eat it or inject it into my veins, but it is fine otherwise. I was sold on it the moment I saw it used in Nova for the organ tissue cleaning thing.
