Whats the best toothpaste for decay??
Question:
and please put the price if possible,,
Answers:
Any over the counter fluoride toothpaste is good to reduce dental decay. As another poster mentioned an over the counter fluoride rinse (like ACT or Fluorigard) is a good measure to prevent decay as well. If you have a problem with decay you can ask your dentist to prescribe a high concentration fluoride toothpaste or rinse (like Prevident). These products can have 5 times the amount of fluoride an over the counter product has. In addition have regular dental cleanings, xrays and practice good home care and diet.
Hope that helps!

Crest makes an anticavity toothpaste if thats what your looking for, just make sure if you really want to prevent cavities you have to brush after meals and floss regularly. You might also want to try ACT flouride rinse. That makes your teeth stronger and prevent cavities also!
