Name of toothpaste that has all 4? - Fights tarter, for sensitive teeth, whitens teeth and is ADA approved?

Don't tell me Crest ProHealth because it is out of stock everywhere or no one carries it. What else can I get besides Crest ProHealth that will whiten my teeth, take care of sensitivity and also fights tarter? It also must have the ADA seal (American Dental Association).

Name of toothpaste that has all 4? - Fights tarter, for sensitive teeth, whitens teeth and is ADA approved?
This is a hard list to fill. Both Crest and Colgate have other products that are better than average at fighting bacterial buildup (Colgate Total fights against gingivitis) and others that fight sensitivity. However, Colgate Total does not have a desensitizing agent in it (potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride) and the sensitivity toothpastes don't usually have the ADA seal or the extra "tarter control" ingredient.





If you are very particular at having all four in a single toothpaste, perhaps you should look online for a retailer selling the ProHealth paste. Otherwise, rank what is most important to you and choose a paste that focuses most on that feature. Other sensitivity toothpastes should work just as well as ProHealth--and if you're a diligent flosser, the extra "tarter control" benefits of PH won't be of a huge benefit.





Good luck in selecting a paste to use! Also, for a complete list of products that have obtained the ADA seal, check here:

Toothpastes are listed under "dentifrices." You'll see ProHealth is the only that fits all of your qualifications.





Unlike the last comment, the ADA seal cannot simply be bought and should be considered when choosing a dental product. However, there are many reasons products choose not to submit their products to the ADA for consideration (including wanting to advertise that their product is "better" than another when the ADA cannot find conclusive evidence that it's really better).
Reply:You can only target sensitivity for up to 4 weeks. Use Sensodyne, then after 3 or 4 weeks go back to Colgate Total. It works on bad breath, cavities, plaque and gengivitis. It is the only toothpaste that is ADA accepted and FDA approved. Report It

Reply:Colgate Total works well
Reply:try toothpaste from Melaleuca
Reply:There is no other toothpaste that can do all four things that is available at this point. But by the way, being ADA approved doesn't really mean anything. They just pay for the seal. It used to mean there was more testing but now it is just a seal to be bought.


Now that being said, any toothpaste will fight tartar because when you brush you disturb the bacteria that can collect and harden to form tartar. The special tartar control toothpastes have an ingredient that doesn't allow the plaque to harden, but it doesn't work for everyone.


Sensitivity toothpastes contain potassium nitrate, the Crest Pro Health toothpaste does not, it contains Stannous Fluoride which is also proven to reduce sensitivity.


I would recommend Crest Sensitivity whitening plus scope. It does all of the things you want except doesn't have the extra tartar control ingredient, but like I said, you may not need that.
