How to Choose the Right Toothpaste
Rather than paying attention to the colored mark, focus on the information printed on the packaging.
Read the Ingredient List
The ingredient panel provides the most accurate information about what's in the toothpaste.
Look for Fluoride
For most people, fluoride is one of the most effective ingredients for helping strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.
Choose a Formula That Matches Your Needs
Different toothpastes are designed for different purposes, including:
• Sensitive teeth
• Whitening
• Gum care
• Tartar control
• Fluoride-free options
• SLS-free formulas for those who prefer them
Ask Your Dentist
If you're unsure which toothpaste is best for your oral health, your dentist can recommend a product based on your individual needs.
Interestingly, while toothpaste myths continue to circulate, people are equally fascinated by another popular topic—whether the first letter of your name reveals something about your personality.
