For
a

fluoride-based
toothpaste,
look
to
the
ADA-approved
Crest
brand
often
lauded
for
its
safe
and
effective
formulas.
It
works
to
neutralize
bacteria
that
causes
plaque,
reduce
your
risk
of
cavities,
prevent
gingivitis
and
whiten
teeth
—
all
in
an
activated-foam
formula
that’s
kind
on
sensitive
teeth.

Promising
review:
“I
really
like
this
toothpaste.
It
leaves
my
mouth
feeling
clean
and
fresh
without
being
harsh,
and
it’s
been
gentle
on
my
gums.
I
also
appreciate
that
it
helps
with
sensitivity
while
still
giving
a
deep
clean.
The
whitening
is
subtle
but
noticeable
with
regular
use,
and
the
multi-pack
is
convenient
and
a
great
value.
This
has
become
my
go-to
toothpaste
for
daily
use.”

This

affordable
fluoride-based

What’s
more
is
that

protection
against

Promising
review:
“Aquafresh
toothpaste
has
been
a
solid
everyday
choice
for
me
because
it
leaves
my
mouth
feeling
really
clean
and
fresh
without
being
too
strong
or
overpowering.
The
texture
is
smooth,
and
it
foams
up
just
enough
while
brushing,
which
makes
it
feel
like
it’s
really
doing
a
good
job
cleaning.
I
also
like
the
classic
mint
flavor
—
it’s
refreshing
but
not
overly
intense
like
some
toothpastes
can
be.
After
brushing,
my
teeth
feel
smooth
and
my
breath
stays
fresh
for
a
long
time.
It’s
a
reliable
toothpaste
that
does
exactly
what
you
want
it
to
do:
clean
well,
taste
good,
and
leave
your
mouth
feeling
fresh.”

Promising
review:
“So
I
rarely
do
reviews
but
I’ve
tried
every
“whitening”
toothpaste
out
there
and
this
is
the
first
one
that
I
can
tell
right
away
actually
works!
I’ve
only
used
it
3
times
and
my
teeth
are
already
so
much
better!
I
don’t
use
an
electric
toothbrush
just
one
of
those
extremely
soft
manual
ones
idk
if
that
makes
a
difference
but
I’m
definitely
sticking
with
this
product
from
now
on.”

“Love
this

It’s
a
bit
more
expensive,
but
it
worked
to
help
nearly
eliminate
my
early
gingivitis.
Gums
improved
remarkably.
It
also
helped
with
my
sensitivity
to
cold.
I
highly
recommend
this
product.
It
is
definitely
worth
the
extra
money
to
save
some
at

This

8-in-1
toothpaste
works
hard
so
you
don’t
have
to
(well,
it

require
twice-a-day
brushing
on
your
end,
but
that’s
no
surprise).
Loaded
with
cavity-fighting
fluoride,
this
Hello

fights
cavities,
gingivitis,

bad
breath,
enamel
decay

yellowing,

Teeth

“LOVE
this.
Way
better
than

with
nasty

Toothpaste
is
refreshing
and
not
as
disturbing
to
use.
It’s
actually
pleasant
to
use.
I
love
it.
It
tastes
great

Those
with
sensitive
teeth
are
familiar
with
the
nagging
twinge
of
a
sip
of
iced
coffee,
a
bite
too
hard
on
a
chip
or
even
the
summer
breeze
hitting
your
teeth
the
wrong
way.
Here
to
the
rescue
is
this

mega-popular
fluoride
toothpaste
that
addresses
both
cavities
and
sensitivity.
It
leverages
fluoride
to
remineralize
eroding
enamel
and
potassium
nitrate
to
ward
off
sensitivity,
allowing
you
to
return
to
your
favorite
foods
and
live
your
best
life
again.

Promising
review:
“I
don’t
usually
write
reviews,
but
I
was
compelled
this
time
because
I
am
truly
amazed.
For
the
last
few
weeks,
I
had
been
experiencing
extreme
sensitivity
in
one
of
my
front
teeth.
Whenever
I
would
try
to
enjoy
anything
slightly
cold,
it
was
resulting
in
excruciating
pain.
Even
if
a
cool
wind
blew
on
my
teeth,
it
was
causing
horrible
pain.
After
only
about
2
weeks
of
switching
to
this
toothpaste,
the
sensitivity
is
nearly
gone.
It
feels
so
much
better
now.
It
feels
so
good
to
not
be
in
as
much
pain
anymore,
and
I’m
sure
the
pain
will
be
completely
gone
soon.
So
happy
that
I
purchased
this
product.
I
can
drink
cold
water
happily
again.”

I
can’t
buy
this

Simple
is
best.
Instead
of
opting
for
the
latest
flashy
viral
brand,
go
back
to
what
you
used
in
the
‘90s.
This

dentist-approved
pick
is
a
great
place
to
start.
“Look
for
a
toothpaste
that
has
an
active
ingredient
like
fluoride
or
nano
hydroxyapatite,
otherwise
you
might
as
well
just
brush
with
good
old
water,”

Dr.
Bronwyn
Hagan,
a
cosmetic
dentist
at
New
the
York-based
practice

Fitzsimons
&
Hagan
Dentistry,
told
us
in

previous
reporting.
She
recommends
this
specific
variety
from
Crest
for
its
anti-cavity
properties
when
paired
with
regular
brushing.

Promising
review:
“This
toothpaste
is
THE
BEST.
How
do
I
know
this
for
fact?
Well,
I
had
used
this
all
my
life
and
always
had
exceptional
CREST
checkups
with
my
dentist.
The
hygienist
always
told
me
how
boring
my
cleanings
were
because
I
never
had
tartar
or
plaque,
no
problems
with
my
gums,
nothing.
BO-ring!
We
always
laughed
about
it.”
