Success in 7 Minutes: Toothpastes

July 14, 2021
With toothpastes, one size doesn’t fit all. Drs. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz and Howard Glazer discuss what to consider as you customize your recommendations to meet your patients’ needs.

In the last episode of Success in 7 Minutes, Dr. Howard Glazer and I talked about interdental cleaning devices. As we continue our series on oral hygiene products, we’ll focus on toothpastes.

With toothpastes, one size doesn’t fit all. There are whitening toothpastes, perio-oriented toothpastes, stain removal toothpastes, desensitizing toothpastes—the choices can be overwhelming and confusing to consumers.

In this video, we’ll discuss how to customize your recommendations for toothpastes to meet your patients’ needs. How do you arrive at an educated choice? Which is best—stannous fluoride or sodium fluoride—and why?

Reach out to us with any questions you have. We’re here to support you!
