i just wrote a post on xylitol toothpaste my dentist told me is so good.. i did research and it has side effects... anyone with any imput? and i looked on amazon where she told me to look and its expensive.. i wanna try but is it worth it. you figure i'd almost have to try it for the 6 months till my next check up to see if its actually working.. but that 7.00 tube of toothpaste is really gonna add up.. i want anyones input if it is any good and anyones experiences...

Found a unused bottle of Crest MW in the vanity - decided to swish my toothbrush in it after every brushing. It freshens the brush - nothing to lose.

Where I live the dental school, rated #1 in the country uses Crest mouthwash. As for the other about toothpaste, I agree, if she's recommending this brand, offer samples. Otherwise, go to the drug store. Why would the ADA recommend toothpastes that are there if they don't work for cavities. Maybe find a new DDS.

I was advised to ditch the alcohol so I use natural dentist I think it's called. It has aloe vera in it and I like it.

@Laura14 , my dentist says the same thing...no alcohol. She also says don't use Crest anything😲. She really dislikes their products. LM

@Lilysmom I got a wonderful hygenist who sat me down and gave me all kinds of training in what I should do and not do about 2 years ago. She was a much older woman who had obviously known and kept what really works and doesn't hop on trends.

I am tremendously grateful to her. My teeth and gums have never been better. She warned me off of the baking soda toothpastes which I had been using since the dawn of time.

She switched me to sensodyne, non-alcohol mouthwash, and unwaxed floss. Best thing I ever did for my health.

I sing her praises every time I go back and someone mentions how good my gums look now. She must be a temp as I only run into her occasionally usually during the holiday season.
