Don't pick the cheapest and most marketed toothpaste. You want a toothpaste that has low abrasivity! So...no whitening toothpastes, they are a marketing ploy by the manufacturers, and are VERY abrasive. They do damage long term by abrading/wearing the enamel away, thus create sensitive teeth! Create ledges and grooves at the base of teeth, which could need fillings or crowns/caps to restore back to health.
There are abrasive lists on the internet, google it. I suggest Pro-enamel, Sensodyne Repair and Protect or X-Pur(no SLS either!) and with a Fluoride or Xylitol to prevent cavities.
