A member asked:
Very good morning everyone! is there a brand of toothpaste that is better or more recommended or perhaps not recommended? (many years ago my dentist told me to buy whatever is on sale). we prefer pepsodent. also, same question about mouthwash
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Toothpaste: There are many specifically formulated toothpastes available today that were not available "many years ago." Make sure T'paste has Amer Dent Seal on the box that assures that the product has been tested for safeness and effectiveness. As there are so many different formulations ask your current dentist which would be best formulation for you. Use pea sized portion. Make sure to floss.
