When you buy toothpaste, does it matter what kind it is?!


Question: When you buy toothpaste, does it matter what kind it is?
i got 2 brands, a regular brand that has fluoride in it $1:25... it's called Crest Cavity protection... and then i got this other tooth past that's called pro health enamel shield....(i don't use the 2nd one that often).... i think it was 3bucks?... are these fancier tooth pastes just a gimmick?

i was wondering what i should be looking for in a proper tooth past? whether it says "fights germs and plaque for 12 hours" or "whitens teeth"...

do all of the tooth pasts work the same even tho the box doesn't say "fights plaque for 12 hours"?

btw, i don't have sensitive teeth so any tooth paste will work for me..

I usually get just normal colgate total whitening or cavity protection but i dont think it will whiten teeth even tho it says...i mainly go by taste or how strong the burn is in the mouth meaning i dont want to much burn and mint...the only difference ive seen is toothpaste for sensitive teeth acually works but you dont have that....bascially their all the same but whatever tastes ok then go for it.



The best toothpaste in my opinion, and it's expensive as far toothpastes go is Crest with Scope Outlast. If you want really fresh breath for a really long time, this is the toothpaste to use! OMG I love it! I don't even mind spending the extra money for it. (ok well I do, but I will spend it anway, it's THAT GOOD!)



You don't even need toothpaste to have clean teeth. It doesn't matter at all. Floss though. And brush your teeth, but you don't need to use toothpaste, just clarifying.



get the 3D whitening stuff it works for me =]
