Sensodyne toothpaste for sensitive teeth, at the suggestion of my dentist. The scary thing is, when I tried it the first time, I instantly recognized the taste, from when I was a little kid staying overnight at grandma’s place. My first thoughts were: “Oh my God! This tastes like old people’s toothpaste!” ---

If I could find a toothpaste that didn’t make orange juice taste nasty, I might use it. I _am_ into Ayurveda, and if I used a toothpaste it would probably be Vicco Vajradanti, which Purd Werfect alluded to. (In Sanskrit, _vajra_=‘diamond’ and _danti_=‘tooth’.) ---

I think I’m using Crest at the moment. I don’t really have a toothpaste preference, except I won’t touch a baking soda toothpaste. I usually get whatever I have a coupon for or is on sale. ---

quote posted by Jpegjames: Tom’s of Maine. So good you could almost make sandwiches with it. quote posted by Coldfire: Parodontax. It’s Dutch, it’s got sea weed in it, and everyone thinks it’s disgusting. I love it. quote posted by saepiroth: congealed blood of the thrice-damned; whitening formula. I’m having a party in a coupla weeks and needed some ideas for sandwich spreads. Thanks! ---

I’m another Tom’s of Maine user. Normally Peppermint with flouride, but when I’m feeling grand, I break out the fennel toothpaste. Just lately I’ve been using it a lot, because I kick ass. 🙂 ---

Aquafresh–either Extra Fresh or Tartar Control. I buy either one or the other, depending on how I’m feeling when I’m replenishing the toothpaste supply. ---

At home, Crest Complete (w/ tartar and whitening.) At work, Listerine (because it’s a small, portable tube.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/toothpaste/93553.md?page=1)
