 I use Sensodyne with Tartar Conrol plus Whitening.  I have very sensitive teeth and have for years plus my dentist always complain about the tartar buildup on my teeth when I go to see him for my checkups.  I brush and use the Waterpik and try to floss some (this I dislike doing as the back teeth are hard to do) but I still need a real good cleaning every six months when I go.  I do drink coffee which I love and I know that stains your teeth.  My dentist does give me those Crest or Colgate handouts but I always give them away to someone else to use.  I'm set in my ways and am going to use what I want.  


@PickyCindy   My hygienist always says I have tartar on the last two upper molars.  I guess, as my mouth is small and does not accommodate the teeth, it is hard to reach back there and I do brush but sometimes I gag when I do that.  It gags me when she is cleaning there so she should know why.  I use Sensodyne with Whitening and tartar control as well.

Re: Toothpaste. What do you use and why?

My dentist recommends Sensodyne because I have a few extremely sensitive teeth.  I use the Sensodyne Pronamel for the added benefit.  No whitening products, not even the Sensodyne with whitening because the whitening chemilcals promote sensitivity according to my dentist.  On top of that, when my teeth get particularly sensitive, I have a prescription product that I brush on them after I brush.  No rinsing, and I can't have anything to eat or drink for 30 minutes afterwards.  My insurance has notified me that they will no longer pay for it, probably because there is now a generic version, so I don't know what will happen when I need to refill it.

Re: Toothpaste. What do you use and why?

I have a quip toothbrush and subscription for brush head replacements every 3 months.  I decided to get their toothpaste along with the brush heads because it contains fluoride and is non-abrasive.  It is a mint toothpaste but not overpowering.  I follow with a non-alcohol fluoride rinse as suggested by my dentist.

I use Sensodine Pro Enamel Gentle Whitening.  I have cold sensitive gums and it's great!

Whatever I grab. It was Aim last time, and now it's Colgate.

Re: Toothpaste. What do you use and why?

I always buy Sensodyne.  There are so many versions of the Sensodyne brand so I like to mix it up.  I usually buy either Sensodyne Fresh Clean or Sensodyne Extra Teeth Whitening.  I also like the Sensodyne Pro Enamel one too but find the tube is a little smaller and I tend to run out quicker in that one.

I still have a few of these left when they went on clearance.

Don't think they expire.

They have a great taste, mint chocolate.

@SilleeMee You are always so helpful with your responses. Thank you.

 

I have used supersmile for many years.  Also colgate and crest and Sensodyne Pro Enamel (what's with that cap though?)

 

I recently bought colgate's natural version and ordered the Cali White TSV which I am liking much more than I expected to. These have no fluoride.

 

I have had allergic reactions to some toothpastes especially those with cinnamon in them.  So those I avoid.
