Quick poll... Which toothpaste do you use?

#1 Post by D »

Crest Pro Health for me. Seems like a good everyday toothpaste, my teeth are also kindof sensitive so I think it helps. It also tastes really good.

Arm and Hammer Peroxi-Care at home and a trial size tube of Crest (freebie from dentist) that goes in my purse for use while I am not at home. I really prefer the Arm and Hammer to the Crest, though.

Sensodyne over here. Considering how many times I have to brush my teeth everyday, my dentist told me it was one of the most gentle tootpastes on the market therefore strongly recommends it to avoid enamel damage...

I use Sensodyne as recommended by my dentist due to a lot of sensitivity from brushing too hard.

I use Crest regular paste. I just like the plain taste of it. I also use AquaFresh sometimes. I really should try some others. :oops:

I use biotene sensitive at night, but it doesn't seem to help at all with my sensitivity, so I'm going to switch to sensodyne when I'm I'm done with my biotene paste.
In the morning I use Colgate Total paste and then if I'm out and about I just use a Crest sample tube of paste...and if I'm at home after eating I use the biotene.
I also use biotene mouthwash at night. When I got my lip pierced my piercer recommended using it to help the piercing heal and also because it is less harsh than some other mouthwashes.

I'm using The Natural Dentist toothpaste at the moment, it doesn't have any detergent in it like most toothpastes, so I guess it's gentler. I really am only using it because it came free w/their mouthwash, which I had to switch to because I can't handle even the alcohol-free kind anymore; it makes my taste buds feel like they've been burned off by something hot, and makes my sense of taste seem almost completely diminished. :shock: I have always liked Arm&Hammer toothpaste otherwise though..It makes your teeth feel really clean.
Finished w/Invisalign Express, now on my third set of Vivera retainers
