There is no shortage of toothpaste brands in stores, but the editors of Men's Health magazine have identified five they feel stand out.
To compile the list, they conferred with a panel of dentists, including Kenneth Young, DDS, a private-practice dentist in New York City and dentistry advisor to Men's Health; Mark Schlesinger, DDS, a clinical associate professor of dentistry at New York University; Paul Levi, DMD, an associate clinical professor of periodontology at Tufts University school of dental medicine; and Jennifer Jablow, DDS, a Manhattan-based cosmetic dentist.
Here are the panel's top five picks:
- Sensodyne ProNamel (GlaxoSmithKline) for sensitivity
- Colgate Total (Colgate-Palmolive) for gum health
- Crest Pro-Health for all-around oral health
- Natural Dentist Anticavity for a brand that is free of artificial colors and flavors
- Supersmile Professional Whitening System for whitening
