Note that these are prescriptive and you can only get them through your dentist. I tried the Oral b at the dentist office and I am going to switch to that when my can runs out. The foam is great, you use very little and it stays in place. You can get many different flavors as well.
From what I have heard, these are clearly superior to any OTC stuff. The pH neutral is very gentle on the tissues. It's a 5 minute treatment.
