Most Universal Toothpastes Rated Highly by Stiftung Warentest
A recent study finds that the majority of universal toothpastes effectively combat cavities and discoloration while minimizing harmful ingredients.
- Stiftung Warentest evaluated 18 universal toothpastes, with most receiving favorable ratings.
- Seven toothpastes were rated 'very good,' six 'good,' and five 'satisfactory,' with no product scoring below satisfactory.
- The top-rated toothpaste was Blend-a-med's 'Complete Expert 24H Schutz,' noted for its exceptional stain removal.
- Only two products contained the controversial whitening agent titanium dioxide, which is linked to potential genetic harm.
- Some toothpastes include ingredients beneficial for gum health, though not all advertise this feature on their packaging.
