Which toothpaste should I use? We get asked this a lot! Do you know that the ONLY component in toothpaste that has actually been proven to do anything useful against decay is FLUORIDE? All the other stuff is to make it taste nice, make it foam, or make it a pretty colour and nice texture, or just an advertising gimmick. We see a lot of people with major decay who are accidentally using a non fluoride containing paste.
YES to: any Colgate, Macleans, Sensodyne, Oral B, Curaprox.
NO to: Red Seal, Grin, EcoStore, Comvita
Remember an adult dose is a pea size, and just a smear for kids.
