I buy whatever is on sale. But I am beginning to think that I should go with something like Colgate. I may talk to my dentist about it next time I see him.

Just swithced recently to Colgate. I grew up using Crest because at the time, that was what my dentist used to always give me as samples, but I always ended up with cavities. My dentist now has given me Colgate and I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. We'll see if it makes a difference.
