About this deal
Flavor: As long as the toothpaste you choose has the ADA Seal, flavor is entirely a personal preference. Good oral hygiene isn’t just about the type of floss you use or whether you prefer electric or manual toothbrushes. In fact, the right toothpaste can make or break your dental health. With seemingly endless choices available, purchasing the right one can be a challenge. Additionally, there are so many different variations to choose from depending on your needs, including toothpastes that whiten teeth, prevent tartar buildup, optimize gum health and more. Oral Care Wellness All Oral Care Electric Toothbrushes Toothpastes Whiteners Floss Mouthwashes Water Flossers Zoe Malin has been covering dental care for over a year at Select and has written guides about teeth whitening products, floss, toothbrushes and more. For this piece, Zoe interviewed three dentists and researched dozens of toothpastes on the market. We recommended toothpastes that meet expert shopping guidance, contain fluoride and have the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Toothpaste most often comes in a gel or paste form, but some brands sell solid toothpaste, usually in the form of a tablet you chew into a gum-like substance before brushing your teeth with it. There are no solid toothpaste options that have the ADA Seal of Acceptance, and thus they do not meet our experts’ guidance. Meet our experts

Currently, the FDA does not define the term ‘natural toothpaste,’ which leaves consumers to define what natural means to them," said Dr. Kate Zoumboukos of SW Austin Dental. She said it’s common for the term “natural toothpaste” to describe options that are free of artificial flavors and ingredients, preservatives, sweeteners and dyes. Experts agree that any toothpaste marketed as "natural" is effective so long as it has the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

Charcoal is often thought of as an ingredient that can absorb toxins and bacteria on your teeth or in your mouth — similar to how it purifies water. However, experts agree that you should not use it. There are no charcoal toothpastes with the ADA Seal of Acceptance, and a study published in The Journal of The American Dental Association found that there wasn’t enough evidence to support efficacy claims. Experts also said that using charcoal toothpaste may damage the outer layer of enamel since charcoal is abrasive.
