With so many types of toothpaste these days, the oral care aisle of any pharmacy can be a dizzying place. There’s organic, natural, whitening, sensitive, and more, but what’s the best thing for your family? For years, Four Corners Dental Group has been answering these types of questions and more for the people of Anchorage, AK.

You won’t find a more trusted pediatric dentist or one so dedicated to providing affordable dental care for all ages. When it comes to toothpaste, choose one you like enough to use every day, because that’s the most important part! With so much variety, it makes sense to try out a few types to see what works best. Here are a few more things to consider:

• Whitening Toothpaste: If you’re looking to prevent or remove stains on your teeth, there have been huge advancements in whitening technology that are much less invasive than cosmetic dentistry. Whitening toothpastes contain chemical or abrasive ingredients that gradually erase stains with regular use.
• Antimicrobial Toothpaste: Antimicrobial toothpastes contain antibacterial agents, like stannous fluoride, that have anticavity and sensitivity benefits.
• Tartar Control: Tartar control toothpastes contain chemical agents that keep tartar from forming on teeth and remove stains. For a more intense treatment and quicker results, you’ll have to get a professional cleaning from a dentist.

They are devoted to helping their community get the healthy smiles they deserve by providing the highest quality dental care at the lowest cost.
