Which Toothpaste Should I Use?

One question that comes up time and time again is ‘what toothpaste should I use?’ As an adult, it is important to use a toothpaste that contains 1450ppm sodium fluoride. This is to keep teeth strong and resistant to decay.

Sensitive toothpaste is helpful if you suffer from sensitivity, they work by building up a layer over micro tubules in the tooth structure and blocking any sensitivity.

Sensitive toothpastes all have different active ingredients so if one doesn’t work for you, you can always try a different one.

Oral B pro expert toothpaste contains sodium fluoride and stannous fluoride which has been proven to help with plaque/stain/tartar build up, bad breath and prevention of caries.

If I was to recommend one toothpaste it would be Oral B Pro Expert.

I’m extremely anxious about going to the dentist and it’s taken me years to even sit and have treatment. I had a great dentist in London so finding the right practice for me in Colchester was so important as I’m finally able to get through it. Hello Dental are brilliant! Everyone puts me at ease and I am always in control. They are kind, welcoming and take my phobia seriously. Thanks so much for taking care of me and enabling me to get the treatment I need!

This is by far the BEST dentist I have EVER been to! Helen is amazing, knowing I’m not a big fan of the dentist she is so gentle and explains everything before she does it. The girls in the surgery are absolutely lovely! I feel like I’ve gained 5 sisters every time I walk in there! always having a giggle! Got themselves a customer for life ☺️

I have been going to hello dental for a few years now and I must say you get what you pay for, the service is exemplary and all the staff are so polite and friendly. I never really liked going to the dentist because of previous experiences but I trust them 100% and would highly recommend them. Also the clinic is so clean which is something I always look for! So if you are looking for a dentist this is definitely the place to go.
