I think they are much the same,check the ingredients to be sure!

I use oral B toothfloss and Colgate toothpaste only because I was bought up on it . Having said that I still look for sales on brands such as Macleans etc…

I think all Australian bought toothpastes available on supermarket shelves are pretty much equal quality and benefits wise. There may be a difference in price, but tests about it. Avoid cheap imports found at the cheaper shops

Only benefit that I know of in our house is that the kids like the taste/flavour of the Colgate but not the Oral B so anything that keeps encouraging the kids to brush we’ll use.

I think they are much of a muchness. Just watch where they are made though.

Nothing, manufacturers, but watch sometimes some is imported and comes from india or other countries, I like the colgate tartar control, and I always make sure that it is made in Aust or NZ,

none that I know off. always preferred the whitening colgate taste

wow in regards to the last comment, i had no idea about that. i just have always used colgate.

Have you ever noticed the little coloured strips at the bottom of a toothpaste, red, black, blue, green? Well they all indicate how good the toothpaste is for you. Black is the worst with green being the best. Green is hard to find or you pay a heap for it. Next option is blue which is what I use, followed by red.

I guess as long as you are brushing your teeth properly and using toothpaste it doesn’t really matter. Maybe choose one you like the taste of and then you might brush for longer.

There is no difference between brands of toothpaste and toothbrushes. All toothpastes have the same ingredients. You just need to look at how much fluoride is in them. Don’t get any brand that had more than .300 grms of fluoride. As for toothbrushes, it’s up to your preference of how it feels and works for you. Again, they all do the same job.

I think the only real difference is in their marketing

Thanks I’ve always used Colgate whitening or fresh breath and have always felt clean and refreshed so i think i will just stay with my current brand as well as i find i get bad breath from other tooth pastes

ive tried both and I prefer Oral B, I feel it gives me a cleaner brush

price persanal prefrance

its personal preference really. my dentist says both are just as good and as long as I try a teeth strengthening one then I wont need to see him until I want another check up.. that was 2 years ago and me teeth are still fine

I asked the dentist when I took my toddler recently and they said they are much the same. They had both oral B and Colgate products there. I prefer the taste of Colgate as do my older two children.

Thanks everyone its great to read what your opinions are

It seems every time I turn around there’s another type of toothpaste on the supermarket shelf – so many choices, however I do now tend to stick to the same type and brand after having swapped so many times over the years.

All toothpaste is good, as long as you use it. Forget the cheap overseas copies as they often leave your teeth feeling worse for wear.
