5 Editors on Their Favorite Toothpastes
From dentist approved to "fancy, but homey" designer tubes.
Never feel indifferent to a tube of toothpaste again. We asked our editors to share what keeps them smiling and they delivered. Check out a formula that can handle a post-brush orange juice, dentist-recommended whitening, and the brand that "erases evidence of red-wine binges." Cleansing vestiges of your vice-ridden past is what dental hygiene is all about, right?
Arm & Hammer Advance White Extreme Whitening With Stain Defense
"I recently switched over to this brand and love how it leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean without that artificial mint taste. Another bonus: I find that I can drink coffee or orange juice after brushing my teeth and the taste isn't altered because of my toothpaste." —Nikki Ogunnaike, ELLE.com Senior Fashion Editor

Marvis Aquatic Mint Toothpaste
"When I found myself toothpasteless upstate one weekend, I grabbed a travel-size Marvis tube in the kind of store that has both crystals and 70 types of fragranced candles in every color imaginable. This Italian brand is a little bit fancy, but it's homey. I have no idea what 'Aquatic Mint' is, but I like it—the refreshing flavor is kind of like a bracing ocean breeze." —Estelle Tang, ELLE.com Culture Editor
Marvis Aquatic Mint Toothpaste, $10.50; sephora.com
Colgate Optic White
"I'm picky, but not about toothpaste: I like froth and I find I get a better foamy feel from white paste, not a gel. Also, this tube is built so it can stand up, a boon for bathrooms without drawers where you want to keep your toothpaste in a medicine cabinet to be out of sight." —Leah Melby-Clinton, ELLE.com Senior Editor in Branded Content
Colgate Optic White, $3; target.com
Crest 3D White Artic Fresh Toothpaste
"I use this for one reason: My dentist recommended it to me. He says it's the best whitening toothpaste out there, so yeah, I'm sold." —Natalie Matthews, ELLE.com Senior Editor
Crest 3D White Artic Fresh Toothpaste, $4; walgreens.com
Marvis Whitening Toothpaste
"Confession: When I originally bought this toothpaste, I wasn't thinking about oral hygiene—I was thinking how pretty it would look on my sink. But to my delight, the stuff delivers (as it should, since it's not exactly cheap): It leaves a fresh, polished feeling, nixes stanky morning breath, and erases evidence of red-wine binges. Everything a toothpaste is supposed to do, right? A side note: I once bought the Marvis Jasmine Mint on a whim, thinking, Jasmine! How chic! My every exhalation will be scented with flowers! Unless you like the idea of brushing your teeth with perfumed soap, do not follow this example." —April Long, Executive Beauty Editor
Marvis Whitening Toothpaste, $13.50; dermstore.com
