an average, middle-of-the-road toothpaste when compared to name-brand sensitive toothpastes
Review of:  Spotlight Oral Care Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth<br /><br />I’ve been using the Spotlight Oral Care Toothpaste for the last week or so and, so far at least, I’ve been pleased with the product.<br /><br />I found that the taste of the toothpaste is actually pretty good, especially in comparison to other ‘fresh mint’ flavored toothpastes I’ve tried before that seem to have an off-taste or bitter after-taste them.  The mint taste of the Spotlight is present but not overwhelming; which I like.<br /><br />The foaming action of the toothpaste I consider to be about average; certainly, enough in my estimation to feel as if the toothpaste was getting to every corner of my mouth but not so much as to be annoying.<br /><br />The active ingredients I also consider to be about average for a decent quality ‘sensitive’ toothpaste; Potassium Nitrate and Sodium Fluoride.  And, after using the product a few times now, I consider the effectiveness (based on the potassium nitrate level of 5.0%) to be about the same as many other ‘sensitive’ toothpastes I’ve tried in the past.<br /><br />After brushing, the Spotlight toothpaste does leave my teeth feeling clean and does leave my mouth with a nice, somewhat minty taste.<br /><br />For me, while this toothpaste is noticeably better than some bargain-basement type sensitive toothpastes, it is roughly equal to many quality, name-brand or store-brand toothpastes.<br /><br />The cost, however, for this 3.5 ounce tube of sensitive toothpaste is a concern for me as I consider it to be on the higher side; especially for what I rate as an average, middle-of-the-road toothpaste.
