"Are you looking for the right toothpaste for you? Well my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I am going to help you to choose the right toothpaste. There are a lot of different toothpastes out there on the market right now so really it is just depending on what you prefer and what suits your needs best. A couple of different toothpastes that are great is you have toothpaste for sensitivity, you have toothpaste for whitening, you have flavored toothpaste so just all depending on what your preferences are if you are looking to whiten your teeth without any methods of going to the dentist's office. You can buy over-the-counter whitening toothpaste. It is not as effective but it will help get those results that you are looking for. If you have any sensitive teeth, Sensodyne or some type of sensitivity toothpaste would help with that issue. It will help reduce the sensitivity that you might be having by supplying fluoride and minerals into your teeth. Also too if you are just looking for a great flavored toothpaste to help with the bad breath that you might have, all different forms of toothpastes have different flavors. There is mint flavor out there, there is grape, there is even green tea toothpaste. All of these toothpastes are great. It is just preferably what your preferences are and what you are looking to achieve. Once again my name is Michelle and I am with Solutionz and I just explained to you on all the different toothpastes that are out there."
