Boots non fluoride tooth paste, you can get three tubes for price of two.

One brand up from ASDA/Tesco value range. It's toothpaste.

I like the taste of Aquafresh. And the stripes

So far I've counted one actual dentist posting in this thread and one Rangers fan who apparently bases his toothpaste choice on the colour the stripes come out of the tube, which is adorable

Non-fluoride toothpaste.
How useful.
Enjoy the choclate teapot it comes with?

People are best brushing with a fluoride toothpaste.

Why would you want non fluoride toothpaste? It's what hardens the enamel and prevents decay.

I just go with whatever is cheapest at Wilko. £5.50, no thank you. Maybe I'm missing out but toothpaste is toothpaste to me

People don't want fluoride because of its adverse affects on the brain... How much the content in toothpaste will affect you I don't know. I'm not stating this as fact as I have not done any research into the subject what so ever. I just know it is the reason people do not want fluoride in their toothpaste.

What adverse affects on the brain?

I get whatever it cheapest. But usually avoid own brands as it tastes like arse.

I use Oral-B they brilliant but very expensive.

I hate thick toothpaste. I use Colgate 2 in 1 toothpaste+mouthwash, it's called icy blast, I love it.

Just quickly googled http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/brain/

Colgate Ultra Brite is my choice. Very strong minty taste which lasts.

Oral-B if you want to spend the cash.

Fluoride effects on the brain? The last dentist I went to told me not to swill all the paste out of my mouth to help the fluoride work. :/

I use very little toothpaste normally anyway, I find not eating a lot of sweet things, quitting smoking, and drinking plenty of green tea and water have helped immensely.

If i'm stressed and my immune system is taking a battering I will sometimes develop nasty breath, so it goes to show that your own natural immune system is the best defence against oral hygiene issues, often the mechanical action of brushing your teeth alone is enough to remove most of the bad stuff anyway, silver bullets like gunking your mouth with great gobs of flouride enhanced cleaning products can end up doing more harm than good by masking symptoms of some underlying cause.

I brush twice daily without fail just for the record.
