Best ProHealth Advanced Deep Clean. Negative two. It has fluoride and stainless fluoride. It's a good toothpaste. The only problem is it's very abrasive on gums, so it can cause sloughing and irritation. I'm not crazy about it. I really don't recommend it for a lot of people. Therabreath Fresh breath toothpaste. It's a four. It's got fluoride. It's a good toothpaste. It's got a lot of organic ingredients, so it's removed some of the more harsh chemicals that other toothpaste have. I like it.
