i use crest whitening expressions. the mint one rocks. i like the cinnamon the most, but my dentist said something about using it all the time does something or other. i wasn't paying attention and mint taste just as good, so i use it, lol.

I miss the good old days when I had to choose between white Colgate and blue Colgate. Now I walk to the toothbrush aisle and see 37 different types of Colgate alone :(

No kidding. Even if you want to use a particular variety, it still takes a few minutes to find it amongst all the variations.

I get mouth ulcers if I chew too much cinnamon gum. Maybe a similar irritation?

I like AIM toothpaste
The taste is pretty intense, but it does a good job I think

Maybe worth a try

I knew a guy who fried a CPU because he tried to use toothpaste as a thermal transfer compound.

Same here, but I have tried the Tom's of Maine stuff before, and while it has a nice taste, my mouth did not feel as clean as with the Colgate. It must be all the Triclosan...

Dora the Explorer lately.

I got tired of the "adult" flavors and just grabbed a tube of the kids stuff. Same ingredients, and the same %'s as well (usually unless it's really little kiddy toothpaste).

I called Colgate about it and asked if using a child's toothpaste was fine and they said it was. I asked why they don't make a fruity adult package, why is it always fresh breeze, etc. She said she didn't really know, no one ever asked.

Be it for the taste or the overall quality. I just want good toothpaste...

What toothpaste have you tried that you like, or do u currently use that u like or have u ever used that you totally hated and would not recommend anyone to try. Cause you know that some of the different toothpastes is just crappy!

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda and Peroxide (mint flavored). It tastes pretty good and really bubbles up, kinda refreshing.

prevident....prescription strength toothpaste. Of course you're going to have to ask your dentist for this prescription. Works effectively for me

Whatever you do, DON'T use ANYTHING Crest Pro Health related. It stains your teeth. Or at least my family's teeth.

I have sensitive teeth so I use Colgate Sensitivity (I think that's it.) and I like it. Still a bit sensitive (Not to the toothpaste.), but I still use it.

I use Sensodyne complete ... I find it works better then the other brands I've tried & is worth the slightly higher cost.
