THE BEST TOOTHPASTE! For Whitening, Sensitivity & Gum Disease
2,950,440
Published 2021-04-27
Charcoal toothpaste has been popularized recently and claims to whiten the teeth more effectively than other toothpastes. It may do so because of the abrasiveness of the toothpaste. It has an RDA level of 70-90 which is fairly abrasive.
Parodontax is another popular toothpaste that uses Stannous Fluoride. Stannous fluoride is an anti-bacterial agent that's clinically proven to protect against gingivitis, plaque and tooth sensitivity. However, it can be toxic if ingested so one must be careful using this type of toothpaste with young children. It has an RDA level of 150
Colgate Total also uses Stannous Fluoride which is effective at killing bacteria in your mouth. However, its up to you to decide which of these toothpastes is the best toothpaste. Colgate Total has an RDA level of 70
Prevadent 5000 is a prescription toothpaste that is very effective for those with sensitive roots. It has an RDA level of 112
Dr. Nemeth does not use any toothpaste because in most cases it isn't necessary unless you have a specific condition. There was a study conducted that showed that brushing without toothpaste is just as effective as brushing with toothpaste. So it's the toothbrush that does most of the work!
We also offer our patients Dr Nemeth's Tooth and Gum Powder because we believe that it is extremely effective at killing the bacteria that cause gum disease. It has an RDA level of 7.

What’s RDA?
-
"9 out of 10 dentists recommend..." We finally found the one
-
This man made me trust dentists again. I’ve had some crappy experiences with my local dentist.
-
Wow so nice to hear a medical professional go against the status quo with reasonable advice. Thank you!
-
long time ago one dentist told me that it really does NOT matter what toothpaste we do use ...so when this guy say he does not use one ...I love it
-
Big Paste is about to come after this man. Protect him at all costs
-
He's the 1/10th that doesn't recommend Colgate.
-
Thank you so much for your honest and candid review of toothpastes! Much needed……use Crest most of my life but realize that there is no magic there. As the daughter of an orthodontist and a hygienist……wife of a dentist and son finishing dental school as we speak…….we need to be honest with people. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your honesty and integrity
-
It's wonderful to know a dentist who has his patients good oral health in his ❤️ heart.

Sooooo Impressed by your honesty! I have 2 connective tissue disorders which have lead to my teeth sharding away and now being very sensitive. One thing that has helped has been to stop eating any nuts and sunflower seeds! My health food store suggested it and it has helped immensely! And it wasnt the crunching because I can NOW EAT CRUNCHY STUFF AGAIN! Also because of the connective tissue disorders I cant floss so I carefully clean between my teeth with a toothpick or a pick like the one you showed and I can only brush once a day. I dont have a lot of teeth left because they are gradually all sharding away and not holding onto the fillings so Im hoping to be able to get those implants because I cant get dentures (my gums will blister from the friction) but up here they are over $50 thousand and I havent the money. BTW has anyone ever told you how much you look like Canada's beloved Mr. Dressup? I grew up on his show. That's a big compliment!

Fellow dentist here—really cool perspective you have. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the marketing of toothpastes, but unless you have a specific need (high caries risk, sensitivity, etc.) it really is unnecessary, as the main goal in oral hygiene is disruption of that biofilm. I personally use ClinPro 5000, because I have multiple restorations from my childhood that I want to keep healthy with high amounts of fluoride, and I also have sensitive teeth. I also just enjoy that minty fresh feeling toothpaste gives, even if it’s not a true indication of cleanliness. Thanks for the content, always nice to hear a fresh and grounded point of view.

This makes total sense - never had a dentist state this one!! Amazing
-
Wow, super informative. Whenever I go to the grocery store the choices are never clear in effectiveness and make me feel like I am always picking the wrong product and missing out on something.
-
Thanks for doing this one - I have been wondering about an honest review. Was pleasantly surprised you are also in the mitten as I am! 🖐🏻

As a retired Dental Hygienist, I use a slight amount of the very basic Colgate for taste. I brushed too much over the years. Brush twice,. floss twice. Stannous Fluoride and Chlorhexidine rinse can stain. Whitening toothpaste can take some stain off but doesn't change the color of your teeth. Mostly,they want to sell you toothpaste. It's the physical act of brushing and flooding that removes plaque.

How refreshing.... a dentist not promoting flouride. I gave up flouride months ago and my gums stopped bleeding i switched to non flouride toothpaste, this caused me to go to the dentist thinking i had a hole in my tooth because it hurt when I brushed and ate anything sweet. Last night i used flouride toothpaste to give my teeth a break from sensitivity and spent hours with bleeding gums and when i flossed today they are bleeding again. If you dont use toothpaste. How do you get the fresh feeling in the morning to get rid of the sleepy breathe? Does brushing make you feel fresh enough? Have you ever known someone to be allergic to flouride? My gums clearly don't react well to it however my dentist pushes it like most do 🙄

Thank u sir, rare to find courageous person like u who speaks facts not ads.
-
Wow! Thanks! And I like to dry brush while watching TV. I can take my time do it correctly. My teeth feel really clean afterward.

I was told about 25 years ago from a young hygienist fresh out of dental school that you don't need to brush your teeth. You can use a rag to wipe off your teeth. You really need to concentrate on flossing. 25 years later, I'm just starting to understand that gums need love, too.❤ I'm an avid flosser trying to teach my 10 year year old the validity of flossing. Keep up the good work, doc. 👍
