Ask your dentist
With so many different options for toothpaste, it’s hard to know which toothpaste is right for you. We always recommend you talk to Dr. Brady about which toothpaste would benefit you most. She can go over the different types and help you pick the one that’s best.
Find one that’s approved by the ADA
Make sure the toothpaste you are using is approved by the American Dental Association. The ADA ensures the toothpaste follows their strict guidelines, so you can always count on their seal of approval.
Different Types of Toothpaste
Tartar Control Toothpaste
Everyone has a layer of plaque on their teeth. If it is not properly removed, it builds up and turns into tartar. Tartar is a hardened deposit on your teeth, which can lead to gum disease [source]. If Dr. Brady feels you would benefit from tartar-control toothpaste, she can recommend several top brands for you to consider.
Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth
If you struggle with sensitive teeth, try using a toothpaste specifically formulated for just that! Toothpaste for sensitive teeth has an added compound that helps reduce pain associated with eating or drinking something hot or cold.
Whitening Toothpaste
If you have stains on your teeth, whitening toothpaste may be an option. It is important to check with your dentist before incorporating a whitening toothpaste into your routine, as some can be abrasive and may cause sensitivity.
