Cavity protection

Are the claims made by toothpaste manufacturers true?Example I won't name the name the brands for example cavity protection is clinically proven to strengthen teeth and help repair weak spots before cavity develops and another toothpaste claims protection from tartar tooth decay and gum disease.
Are these claims true or they are trying to increase their sales?

Bit of both really.
Look for a toothpaste with 1450ppm fluoride. That's the stuff that protects teeth.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
