Is pepsodent a non abrasive toothpaste?

NO!: All tooth paste contain some abrasives, including 'pepsodent' have silica as the abrasive ingredient . If you have sensitive teeth : (1) don't use large brushing motions, instead use small massaging motions with toothbrush. (2) always use a 'soft' toothbrush. (3) do not push/scrub with a lot of pressure against your teeth. Doing 'one' of these things can cause wearing away of teeth and gums!

carifree: Carifree ph oral neutralizer gel has a very low coeff of abrasiveness compared to otc toothpastes... Just make sure you don't drink a lot of acidic beverages, even orange juice and then brush abrasive and hard.. That will hurt your enamel in the long run!

Yes: Toothpastes that have abrasive qualities are usually marketed as whitening toothpastes. By the way, there is little to no clinical difference among any of the toothpastes. If they have Fluoride in them, that's all that is necessary.
