I tip my hat to the marketing efforts of Big Toothpaste

My paid shopper was unavailable on short notice so I stopped in to a local store to grab some toothpaste.
The choices and variety are bewildering. The niches are innumerable, The packaging like tinsel.
Are there really that many differences between all these brands and versions?
Fun fact: The ingredients ‘lauryl sulfate’ in most of them is only included to make the paste foam so that you think it is working. Same with shampoo.

welcome to capitalism where the best product or designed packaging will win

Funny, I couldn't find anything I liked

Hardly any difference. Look at the ingredients. Pretty much all the same, just tiny variations in amounts. And the generic has the same amounts and ingredients as the name brands.

Better than communism where you wait in an hour long line to find out the one brand or toothpaste wasn’t delivered this week.

“The choices and variety are bewildering “
That’s the truth,it’s crazy.When I was a kid there was only Crest,Colgate.Pepsodent and Gleam.
Now there’s probably 50 varieties of Crest.I buy Crest but it gives me a headache trying to figure out which one.

Toothpaste and Toilet Paper, two products that have entirely two many options for no reason other than shelf space

You mean flavored tooth lubricant.
Read that in a book one time and never looked at toothpaste the same again.

My grandparents both had full dental plates and would take them out and scrub them with soap. We stayed with them one time and forgot to bring toothpaste. We had to brush our teeth with soap

For all the major brand shite the only difference is whether or not it has hydrogen peroxide in it or not.
The ingredients are all the exact same for all 200 types.

Differences? Sure. My dentist told me to read the labels and make sure I'm buying toothpaste with Stannous Fluoride rather than Sodium Fluoride. It's a wide spread between products as to what they use.
In other countries, like Japan, they use toothpaste with HAP (Nano-hydroxyapatite) which effectively remineralizes teeth meaning that it actively repairs enamel and other cracks and weak spots. Naturally the FDA has not approved its use as an anti-cavity. You can find toothpaste with it on Amazon and some retail places. It's pretty pricey though.

I used to switch toothpastes all the time trying to find some extra benefit. They all were too abrasive or too harshly flavored. Went back to the Original Colgate Cavity Protection years ago that I used as a kid and haven't looked back. It's only a little more than a dollar for a tube that lasts a month too.

Well I am 76, still have all my teeth and my father was a Dentist. His opinion was that Sensodyne was the best product.
Do yourself a favor. Click on the Ask Gemini button in your Chrome browser in upper right corner. Tell it your age, dental concerns and ask it to compare the top 3 toothpaste products regardless of cost. Then just ask follow up questions.

I started buying a toothpaste that has this ingredient and also has no fluoride. I was actually looking for a toothpaste with no fluoride when I found out about this ingredient. I can tell you since I have been using this toothpaste I have had a lot of improvement in the appearance of my teeth and also any sensitive spots have gone away.

What? I know they're working because my teeth and hair are clean when I'm done.
