The brands in the market offer basically two types of toothpastes - one is in the form of the conventional pasteand the other is the gel. Colgate Total, Pespodent Germicheck, etc are examples of the former type. They offerclean teeth and a safeguard against cavities. The Close up range, Promise Gel, Colgate Gel, etc promise freshbreath. Aquafresh and Pepsodent 2-in-1 combine the two types by having both gel and paste together.
Oral B is a specially formulated toothpaste for children in India. It comes in one flavour - mint. Though the
children like the mild flavour the paste itself does not foam. Also the paste comes along with a brush making itan expensive buy if you are not interested in using their brush.
Alright all the ads are spectacular - but what's the bottom line? Basically all toothpastes are alike. In the oldendays (sometime soon after the age of the dinosaurs) our not so distant ancestors chewed datuan - the neemtwig and most of them had strong healthy teeth right to the very end. Further, here's a secret that mostadvertisers have long known - people aren't as interested in the anti bacterial qualities of the toothpaste as inits ability to promote fresh breath and make your mouth taste good. As a result many of us brush early morningeven though we haven't eaten anything just then, in order to lose that morning breath. But few peopleremember to brush in the evening when it's really necessary! So the differences in the toothpastes are more inflavour and attractive colour than actual ingredients.
