If You Want Whiter Teeth -- and Don't Do Mint
This toothpaste is packed with -- you guessed it! -- baking soda to whiten teeth. And of course it also cleans and strengthens. It may take time to get used to the flavor, but once you do, you'll never go back to a minty paste.

If You Love Soda or Coffee
Maybe you don't get the same giddy rush from buying a new tube of toothpaste as you do, say, the latest age-defying serum, but here's why you should. The new generation of toothpaste aims to make your teeth brighter and healthier, which, in turn, takes years off your smile for a more youthful look overall.
These toothpastes whiten, erase even serious stains -- I'm talking red wine, coffee and tobacco -- strengthen your teeth from the inside out and, of course, add an extra minty tingle to your breath. It's enough to make you, well, giddy.
