re: What is your preferred brand of toothpaste?

Whatever I have a coupon for

I used CloseUp until 10 or so years ago when my wife expressed her hatred for the cinnamon toothpaste. So now we use Crest- I didn't really have an opinion before, I just grew up with CloseUp.

Side Note: When the kids got old enough to finally make the move to Crest from some fruity kid toothpaste was a GREAT day- that shite smelled so terrible!

I second this. Sensodyne is the only brand I know of that doesn't use sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in their toothpaste. SLS causes toothpaste to fizz, which is functionally worthless. It has been linked to canker sores. I switched a few years back and have noticed a significant reduction in the frequency of canker sores ever since.

I go to the $1 aisle in Dollar General. They always have some variety of Crest or Colgate. I’m not particular as long as it does the job.

Crest is my favorite, never considered how good American toothpaste is until I went to Europe and ran out.

Bought some in Rome nasty, threw it out and bought another brand is Dublin nasty.

I like cinnamon. Usually Close up is the only one I can find, but sometimes Colgate is also available.

Doesn’t have that minty aftertaste that lasts for hours.

I use an hydroxyapatite toothpaste also. The Japanese are on to something.
