Common conclusions
The best toothpaste to consider for tooth decay prevention is a fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride is a natural mineral found in nearly all toothpaste that is good for hardening your tooth enamel.
If you have tartar buildup on your teeth, a tartar control toothpaste would be best for you. This toothpaste will help remove plaque formation, fight tooth decay and gum disease. Try using this together with your mouthwash and floss.
If hot and cold drinks make you feel discomfort, most likely you have sensitive teeth. A toothpaste for sensitive teeth that contains potassium nitrate and stannous fluoride would work best for you. This will give you relief from hot and cold drinks. The fluoride content will prevent tooth decay.
A whitening toothpaste is ideal if you have yellowish teeth. Consider getting that toothpaste with active ingredients such as baking soda and peroxide. They help fight stains and lighten the color of your teeth.
Try considering scratchy ingredients on your toothpaste, such as calcium carbonates and silicates, as they help in removing bacteria and food stains from your teeth.
If you aren’t into toothpaste with underlying flavor, you can go for plain ones with no artificial sweeteners. Just lookout for the fluoride content to help fight tooth decay.
There is a variety of toothpaste that is good for adults, especially in keeping your teeth stronger and whiter. Just make sure to check the ingredients and formula content that are good for overall oral health.
If you belong to the younger category, you can try using children's toothpaste with several flavors and fun designs. Before getting one, try asking for a dentist’s recommendation regarding the amount of toothpaste with fluoride content that kids should use.
