Toothpaste...

Do you have a favorite toothpaste and why do you like it?

I've been using Super Smile for over a year and really like it. It does a dentist feel-like

clean for me, but it's pricey, IMO.

Thank you

Hi, SFC, I was not a fan of Super Smile, way too pricey, too watery, and hated the spearmint taste. I really like Colgate Optic White or Crest 3D White, but only the Crest one without the polyethelyne beads, the one without them is called Foaming formulation.

I really like the Arm & Hammer toothpaste. They are super strong tasting at first, but they leave my mouth feeling fresher longer than anything else I've ever used. When something new comes out, I often give it a try, but I eventually always come back to the Arm & Hammer toothpastes.

I use a prescription fluoride toothpaste at $18, a small tube.

Thank you ladies, for your suggestions. Colgate, Crest, and Arm and Hammer.

Sometimes, I think there are too many choices. LOL

We love Tom's (of Maine) Antiplaque and Whitening toothpaste. It has no artificial dyes or sweeteners, it is all natural w/ peppermint oil for freshie breath. Two times a week we use Go Smile Whitening Gel after brushing.

We use to use Crest forever until my hubby decided he does not want fluoride in his toothpaste any more.

Crest, just regular Crest - cool mint gel flavor. I've used Crest since I was a kid.

I prefer Colgate Total gel, or Crest with Scope, both because I like the flavors, but tend to go for what's on sale or what has the best price for the size. I do usually stick to Colgate or Crest. Then I also use a whitening toothpaste like Colgate Optic White or Crest 3D White and rotate it in with my regular tooth paste.

I think what really makes a difference though is your toothbrush. I use Oral-B Pulsonic (which I acquired from winning a prize), and I LOVE it! My teeth feel so clean, and my dentist says that I have impeccable hygiene every time I go for a check up. Any sonic toothbrush probably has the same or similar results. The only thing I don't like is the price of the replacement heads, and I'm not even sure they make them anymore. I love it though, I wish I could find cheap replacement heads!

ginabfly - you are so right. I use an Oral B vitality - can buy them anywhere. To toothbrush made the real difference for me.

I use straight baking soda. It feels just like the dentist every time. I first do a baking soda scrub and when that is gone/dissolved, I put on some Ultra Brite dipped in baking soda. It is less than a dollar and works very well. I can't handle the taste of most toothpastes as they make me nauseous. The Ultra Brite is tolerable. I tired Pepsi-dent, but that stuff is horrid! I now use it to scrub bath fixtures.

Is pepsident good for cleaning bath fixtures? I'm serious - always looking for something besides Lysol tub and tile.

I use Colgate Sensitive whitening toothpaste. Because my teeth are really sensitive and it doesn't bother my teeth. It tastes MUCH better than the Crest sensitive toothpaste. That one is terrible.

I like Colgate Total gel. My teeth feel clean and breath fresh, longer than other toothpastes. It must work great because I've only had one cavity in my life, back when I was a kid! I do follow with Colgate Total mouth rinse though.

Oh wow ginabfly, I totally agree with you on the brush. We had never had sonic tooth brushes (a little late to the party ha) until I picked up the Violife 3 pak sonic brushes at HSN this Christmastime. Oh my word, I cannot believe I hadnt tried this type product before, we absolutely love the sonic brushes...

We like Pepsodent Toothpaste- it is MADE IN USA, tastes fine, works fine, and is very inexpensive.

It removes water stains. It tastes like mint pepto. YUCK! I can't handle most mint flavors, so I realize that I am picky.

tigriss, baking soda is really hard on the enamel of your teeth, it will strip it off over time.

I get whatever name brand is on sale at the food or drug store. No dollar stores for toothpaste after hearing about the fake labels and packaging!

Sensodyne extra whitening with my electronic vibrating toothbrush. And CLOSYS Mouthwash. And at bedtime, a good rinse with ACT mouthwash. Best results I have had in my whole life.
