Advertising isn't just TV/free samples, its subtly everywhere, one way or another they've reinforced in your head that you like them. It's all advertising one way or another, the clever stuff is all done subconsciously. If you don't know why you like it at all, or even if you do think it cleans better its because of advertising

Whats wrong with fluoride? I was under the impression the small amounts they add are actually really good for your teeth, and i thought this is why sensodine was meant to be "better" but after checking the percentages on the back there is barely any difference between it and an "average" toothpaste though.

I know that!!!

Bloody know it all students

If I didn't try the free sample I would never have bought it.

Nothing to do with me being a student, i'm just a very skeptical bar steward (wow - that actually holds true these days as well). Which is a curse sometimes because i generally don't believe anything until i've seen/read a reliable source somewhere myself. Friends definitely hate me for it.

Contentious subject - there's plenty of information on Google much of it hysterical TBH; but my general feeling is that I prefer to err on the side of caution. Anyway, my teeth seem to have done just fine without fluoride

Anything really. Mentadent P is my favourite, really like Euthymol too.

But that tastes like Germoline, and not in a good "root beer" kind of way.

Stay away from greasy cafs,
Get to bed by three,
Take good care of your gums,
Brush with Mentadent P!

Gee, jingles really do get stuck in your head don't they

Sensodyne Pronamel. I have always had sensitive teeth and Sensodyne has always worked for me. However, Sensodyne generally tastes a bit ming tried the Pronamel and I really quite like the taste. Does the prevents acid erosion bit make a difference? no idea, doesn't matter that isn't why I buy it

I know what you mean Johnny... your teeth feel more squeeky. I personally don't like that feeling... it's like the feeling you get when you drink coke and suddenly if you grind your teeth they "stick" and make a squeeky noise.

I get that with plain ole colgate.

As for what I use I don't have a clue. I buy what ever is on offer and then make sure I floss every so often and gargle on some mouth wash once in a while.

Not a filling or problem in this mouth I'll have you know
