Best Toothpaste

Toothpaste is a crucial part of our everyday oral care routine. Along with our toothbrushes, it helps remove plaque and effectively clean our teeth. At CVS Pharmacy®, you can find a wide range of toothpaste products designed to make your mouth healthier and fresher.

Tooth discoloration is often attributed to poor oral hygiene or bad habits such as smoking. If stains contribute to the teeth discoloration, it's recommended to use a whitening toothpaste to help you achieve those pearly-white teeth. The best toothpaste for whitening is the one that effectively removes surface stains from your teeth. Usually, whitening toothpaste has mild bleach and abrasives, such as hydrogen peroxide, silica, and pyrophosphates, to remove surface stains and lighten the color of your teeth. Aside from the whitening power, it's also good to look for ingredients, such as triclosan, with antibacterial properties to help prevent gingivitis and plaque buildup. After using the product, it can take a few weeks to several months to start seeing results. It's also important to discontinue habits contributing to surface stains on your teeth.

Halitosis, or bad breath, occurs when bacteria build up under the tongue's surface. It's primarily attributed to poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, gum disease, or food stuck between teeth. Usually, regular brushing of teeth and frequent trips to the dentist can beat halitosis. When shopping for a toothpaste, ensure that it has fluoride that fights germs and bacteria on the teeth, gums, and tongue, contributing to bad breath. Brushing twice a day for two minutes can make a difference. If you notice that your halitosis persists, it's best to consult with your dentist.

Teeth sensitivity is often attributed to cavities, gum recession, cracks, or any recent dental treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, look for a toothpaste with fluoride and potassium. These two main ingredients help repair the worn teeth enamel. Fluoride strengthens the other layer of the tooth, which results in the protection of the inner layer. Potassium nitrate builds soothing protection by turning down sensitivity inside the tooth to give you relief. Whether your problem is bad breath, teeth discoloration, or teeth sensitivity, we've got you covered here at CVS Pharmacy®. You can find a wide selection of toothpaste products from your favorite brands to help you improve your oral health care.
