Amazon.com: Sensodyne Repair Protect Toothpaste with Fluoride 70 gm - Pack of 1 : Health & Household vs Tom’s of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste, Peppermint, 2 Pack, 4.5 Oz: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Fluoride (systemic if ingested in excess), Abrasive silica (enamel wear if overused) and Fragrance and flavor allergens (contact sensitivity) on the Sensodyne and not on the Tom's of Maine.
• We flag Heavy metals in mineral pigments or abrasives and Fragrance allergens from essential oils on the Tom's of Maine and not on the Sensodyne.
• The Sensodyne is silica, calcium carbonate, sorbitol, glycerin, standard toothpaste excipients where the Tom's of Maine is toothpaste base, mineral silica, essential oils, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Tom's of Maine is the one to buy.
