I’ve been trying new toothpastes last month or so because I’ve been less than happy with most of the commercial brands for a while. Something in them seemed to cause plaque instead of get rid of it (and yes I floss regularly). The first round, I tried Tom’s of Maine, but wasn’t impressed. If anythin ...
