What is the best toothpaste on the market these days?

There really isn't any that are considered best.  You just need to check the package if you are in the US to see if it passes ADA standards.  Also, try for a tartar control.  Other than that, find one that tastes good to you.  If you use the *whitening* ones too often, it's not good. Use that kind every other time, OK.

The crest whitening products work great. I use Crest whitening toothpaste and it's made a difference.

yes, crest whitestrips. but if you want the good stuff, get crest whitestrips supreme.  only available online and at the dentist's office and they work WAY better than the ones you can buy at the store.  they claim to whiten 80% better than the regular ones.  i think they are around 40 bucks.

I don't know what the top five are but the one i like the best is the newer Crest kind without achohol. It cleans great without the awful burning. I believe that's the one dentists are recommending right now.

toothpaste. \nsmear a little bit on it and use your finger (go with the grain) and gently rub it. then, a moist cloth and again gently remove the excess toothpaste. i've done it a million times, and had good results.

It's dried toothpaste. Rinse your mouth well. It is especially a problem if you have a dry mouth.

Colgate. i used it all my life and have never had a cavity. It's not the best tasting toothpaste though.

I think the effects of the whitening toothpastes are very, very marginal.\n\nBetter to focus on the main purposes of toothpaste.\n\nIn that respect I personally think Colgate Total is the best of all.  If I cannot find it, I will use Aquafresh, the striped one.\n\nI believe you can get a variety of Colgate Total called Colgate Total plus Whitening.  So there you are.\n\nDon't get too carried away with whitening, many people have severely injured their gums that way.\n\nBetter to see a dentist for more help in that area.  There are veneers for older people, but rather expensive.

I am not sure about using herbal medicine to whiten your teeth, but Tom's of Maine makes some wonderful natural whitening toothpaste. I prefer the mint kind, but for people who like licorice there is a fennel one.

That baking soda toothpaste is the best one.  (Arm&hammers)  Also, be sure to floss and use listerine mouthwash before brushing twice a day at least.  You could use just regular baking soda too instead of toothpaste once a day.  Just baking soda is supposed to be great for your tooth enamel.  It sounds weird, but I've tried it and still do it. No problems with my teeth, and always get compliments from my dentist.:)  Try it.

Listerine Whitening Rinse is great.  You will see an immediate difference.  I can't recommend this stuff enough.  Also it is not as expensive as Crest Whitening Strips.

here is a good resource for basic information on oral care. This site's "What is Toothpaste?" feature discusses toothpaste ingredients, including approximate percentages across all brands. The site also offers help on choosing a toothpaste, stating that any brand will do as long as it contains fluoride. It does also recommend an ADA approved brand, as these have been tested for safety and effectiveness.

This is what my Dentist told me, If you want to whiten your teeth, buy a whitening toothpaste, if you want to control tarter get a tarter controlling toopaste, and so on.. But dont buy one of those all in one toothpastes because they have so little of each ingredient that it don't work as well as it is suppose to!\n\nCrest Strips are good! Get yourself a whitening toothpaste and Use it with the Listerene Whitening pre-brush Mouth wash! You can see the difference the first time!

This is going to sound weird, but toothpaste has historically worked for me. Just swirl it around on the surface and then wash it off - it fills in the scratches wonderfully.
