When It Comes to Toothpaste, Does Brand Matter?

By Regency Dental Group 1 min read

  • Whether it's a gel or a paste you're after, either option has the same mouth-cleansing benefits. Choosing a gel or a toothpaste is really up to personal taste.
  • Cover all your oral-care bases by reaching for a toothpaste that fights both bacteria and gum inflammation
  • Fluoride is a very teeth-friendly mineral. In fact, it's the most important ingredient in your tube of toothpaste because of the level of protection it leaves
  • Also look for triclosan in the ingredients list. It's an antibacterial agent that helps to prevent gingivitis
  • Keep in mind that although novelty-flavored toothpastes like bacon or cupcake might sound like fun, their dental-care qualities might not be up to snuff if the packages don't carry the ADA stamp of approval
