Toothpaste choices: There are many different toothpaste types that have different attributes. Some reduce sensitivity, enhance whitening or provide gum support. Consider selecting a toothpaste tailored to address the needs specific to your mouth. A good hygienest will usually be passionate about the subject!

Depends: If the more natural toothpaste has Fluoride you will be fine. Tom's of main fluoridated toothpaste is a great product. Fluoride is the most important ingredient in toothpaste to maintain the health of your teeth.

What really counts: Proper tooth brushing and flossing as well as eating a healthy diet that does not promote tooth decay or gum disease is what is really important and key to a healthy mouth. What toothpaste (or mouth rinse) you use is in almost all cases unimportant and inconsequential. There are specific toothpastes and mouth rinses for very specific needs. Your dentist can help advise you what to use and do.
