How to choose a toothpaste

Match the formula to your need: fluoride pastes (like Colgate) help protect against cavities; sensitivity pastes (Sensodyne) ease discomfort from hot and cold; whitening pastes target surface stains; and herbal pastes (Dabur, Vicco, Patanjali) appeal if you prefer natural ingredients — though many of these are fluoride-free, so factor that in if you're cavity-prone. Whatever you pick, brushing technique and frequency matter more than the brand. For persistent sensitivity, bleeding gums or pain, see a dentist rather than relying on toothpaste alone.
