To add a bit to a recent question that worriedaboutteethangums just posted about their concerns about whether or not toothpaste matters, I am wondering if any dentists here might have opinions about how important it is to use a toothpaste that ranks low in how abrasive it is?
There is a chart that is widely posted on the websites of a number of dentists in the US, where the abrasiveness of toothpastes are ranked. On this chart, the very high-flouride toothpaste Prevedent has a high abrasivity ranking. I use this brand occasionally, where the high flouride seems helpful. But I'm concerned that it might harm my teeth at the same time. How might I weigh these two different factors when chossing a toothpaste?
Thanks!!
