Start with the formula you want, then compare the tube and pack size. These eight toothpaste picks cover sensitivity, whitening, a value tube and fluoride free options. Our comparison uses listing descriptions and customer ratings, without claiming hands on testing or a clinical comparison.
Best toothpaste overall: Sensodyne Fresh Mint Twinpack
Best toothpaste overall: the Sensodyne Fresh Mint Twinpack, because it pairs the highest rating on this page, 4.8 stars from more than 17,000 ratings, with two tubes of fresh mint toothpaste that the listing says gives 24/7 sensitivity protection.
The listing says it provides 24/7 sensitivity protection and gives best results with twice daily brushing. Each tube contains about 113.4 g. It holds 4.8 stars from 17,425 ratings across pack sizes, so that count is broader than this twin pack alone.
It suits someone who wants two tubes of the same fresh mint toothpaste. The honest catch: it is a twin pack, so it costs more up front than a single tube, and the 17,425 ratings span pack sizes.
Best whitening toothpaste: Arm & Hammer Advance White
Best whitening toothpaste: the Arm & Hammer Advance White, because its listing describes baking soda and peroxide in a low abrasion whitening formula.
The listing describes fluoride cavity protection, a tartar control agent and a Clean Mint flavour. This twin pack contains two tubes of about 170.1 g each. It holds 4.7 stars from 33,919 ratings across pack sizes, the largest rating count among these eight picks.
It suits buyers wanting a whitening twin pack. The honest catch: the listing does not state a peroxide percentage, so its formula cannot be compared numerically with Colgate's stated 5% hydrogen peroxide.
Best for sensitive teeth: Sensodyne Repair & Protect Cool Mint
Best for sensitive teeth: the Sensodyne Repair & Protect Cool Mint, because the listing says it helps form a protective layer over sensitive areas of the teeth.
This is a 100 g Cool Mint fluoride toothpaste. The listing says it contains fluoride to help strengthen the teeth and describes lasting sensitivity protection with twice daily brushing. It holds 4.8 stars from 797 ratings.
It suits someone choosing a single sensitivity toothpaste tube rather than the Fresh Mint pair. The honest catch: its rating average matches the overall pick, but it has substantially fewer ratings and less toothpaste in the linked pack.
Best hydrogen peroxide whitening toothpaste: Colgate Optic White Pro Series
Best hydrogen peroxide whitening toothpaste: the Colgate Optic White Pro Series Stain Prevention, because its listing specifies 5% hydrogen peroxide.
The linked Stain Prevention formula comes in an 80 g tube. Its listing describes stain prevention with daily use. It holds 4.5 stars from 904 ratings. The stated ingredient percentage distinguishes this listing from Arm & Hammer Advance White, which names peroxide without giving its percentage.
It suits someone comparing whitening formulas by their stated ingredients. The honest catch: 80 g is the smallest tube here, so compare tube weight as well as the formula name.
Best for gums: Parodontax Clean Mint
Best for gums: the Parodontax Clean Mint, because its listing specifically describes a toothpaste for bleeding gums.
The listing gives one tube of about 96.4 g and describes a cool and refreshing mint flavour. It holds 4.6 stars from 19,199 ratings across variants. That count provides context for the product family rather than this tube alone.
It suits buyers comparing a toothpaste explicitly labelled for bleeding gums. The honest catch: it is a single tube with less toothpaste than the 100 g Sensodyne or 110 g Oral-B, and the count spans variants.
Best value everyday toothpaste: Oral-B Pro Health Deep Clean
Best value everyday toothpaste: the Oral-B Pro Health Deep Clean, because it is the lowest priced tube on this page and its listing says regular brushing helps promote gum health, fight plaque and whiten by removing surface stains.
The Complete Defence System Deep Clean listing says that, with regular brushing, it helps promote gum health and fight harmful plaque. It holds 4.7 stars from 562 ratings. Its listed whitening description centres on removing surface stains.
It suits anyone who wants one plain everyday tube, the lowest priced here. The honest catch: the listing names no whitening ingredient and makes no sensitivity claim, so it is the plain everyday tube here.
Best hydroxyapatite toothpaste: Mouthology Nano Hydroxyapatite
Best hydroxyapatite toothpaste: the Mouthology Nano Hydroxyapatite, because its listing specifies 10% nano hydroxyapatite in a fluoride free, SLS free mint toothpaste.
The listing also names birch xylitol and states no artificial colours or flavours. The tube contains about 113.4 g. It holds 4.5 stars from 7,157 ratings; that count may cover different flavours and pack sizes.
It suits someone specifically seeking the named ingredient and percentage. The honest catch: it contains no fluoride and costs more than the value Oral-B tube, so the ingredient choice needs to matter to you.
Best natural fluoride free toothpaste: Grants Mild Mint
Best natural fluoride free toothpaste: the Grants Mild Mint, because the listing describes an Australian made, certified vegan toothpaste with no fluoride, SLS or preservatives.
The pack contains two 110 g tubes. The listing names mint oil, aloe vera, xylitol and calcium carbonate, and describes a mild mint flavour with strength 5/10. It holds 4.7 stars from 275 ratings.
It suits someone who wants that ingredient list in a twin pack. The honest catch: it has the fewest ratings here, and the listing's natural and vegan descriptions do not establish organic certification.
How to choose a toothpaste
Brand names alone are not enough: the two Sensodyne picks have different names and pack sizes. This table compares the linked listings. Not stated means the information is absent from the listing details used here; it does not mean an ingredient is absent.
Toothpaste sizes and formula details from the listings| Toothpaste | Pack and tube weight | Fluoride stated | Other formula detail stated |
|---|
| Sensodyne Fresh Mint | Two, about 113.4 g each | Yes, sodium fluoride | Fresh mint flavour |

| Arm & Hammer Advance White | Two, about 170.1 g each | Yes | Baking soda and peroxide |
|---|
| Sensodyne Repair & Protect | One, 100 g | Yes | Cool Mint |

Read the table by column. The pack and tube weight column shows how much toothpaste each listing gives you: the Arm & Hammer twin pack has the largest tubes here, about 170.1 g each, while Colgate has the smallest at 80 g. The fluoride column only records what each listing states. Arm & Hammer and Sensodyne Repair & Protect state fluoride in their bullet points, and three more listings name it in their ingredient rows: sodium fluoride for Sensodyne Fresh Mint, stannous fluoride for Parodontax, and both stannous and sodium fluoride for Oral-B. Mouthology and Grants state fluoride free, and the Colgate listing does not say either way, so check its pack if fluoride matters to you.
Read the whitening description
Arm & Hammer names baking soda and peroxide; Colgate states 5% hydrogen peroxide; Oral-B describes removing surface stains. Those are different listing descriptions, with no shared test here to rank results. Four listings here make a whitening claim: Arm & Hammer names baking soda and peroxide, Colgate states 5% hydrogen peroxide, Oral-B describes removing surface stains and Mouthology calls itself natural whitening. The two Sensodyne tubes, Parodontax and Grants make no whitening claim in their listings, so a whitening shortlist from this page is those four.
Separate natural wording from ingredient choices
Grants lists no fluoride, SLS or preservatives, while Mouthology lists no fluoride or SLS and specifies 10% nano hydroxyapatite. Grants also states certified vegan and Australian made. Choose the description you actually want; those labels do not establish that either formula is better for everyone. Flavour will not narrow the list much, because every listing here names mint. Sensodyne Fresh Mint, Arm & Hammer Clean Mint, Sensodyne Repair & Protect Cool Mint, Parodontax Clean Mint, Mouthology mint and Grants Mild Mint carry it in their names or bullet points, and the Oral-B and Colgate specification rows both give the flavour as Mint. Grants is the one that gives a strength figure, 5/10, so it is the clearest guide if you want a milder mint.
Compare value by total toothpaste weight
Check the price per 100 g when comparing a single tube with a twin pack. Oral-B has 110 g in the linked tube; Grants has two 110 g tubes. A pack total and a tube weight answer different questions: the two Grants tubes add up to 220 g, the Sensodyne Fresh Mint pair is listed at 226.8 g in total, and the single Sensodyne Repair & Protect tube is 100 g. If you also want an accessory, our toothpaste dispenser guide covers that separate purchase.
Put toothpaste reviews in context
Sensodyne Fresh Mint, Arm & Hammer and Parodontax carry ratings pooled across packs or variants, so a large count is not a verdict on one tube. Grants and Oral-B have the smallest counts here, 275 and 562, and Sensodyne Repair & Protect shares the top 4.8 score from 797. We rank by the listing and the rating alone: no tube was tested, and no dentist, forum or consumer group is quoted.
Toothbrushes and dog toothpaste have their own guides
These picks compare toothpaste. Our electric toothbrush guide compares brushes, while our dog toothpaste guide covers the separate pet search. Matching the exact product type keeps the shortlist useful.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best toothpaste in Australia for adults?
Sensodyne Fresh Mint Twinpack is our overall pick, with two tubes and a listing that describes sensitivity protection. Arm & Hammer Advance White is our whitening pick, while Oral-B Pro Health Deep Clean is the value choice. The best match depends on the formula and pack you want.
What is the best whitening toothpaste in Australia?
Arm & Hammer Advance White is our whitening pick: its listing describes baking soda and peroxide in a low abrasion whitening formula. Colgate Optic White Pro Series Stain Prevention is the alternative with a stated 5% hydrogen peroxide content. Compare those specific formulas rather than assuming every whitening tube is alike.
What is the best hydroxyapatite or nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste in Australia?
Mouthology is our hydroxyapatite pick because its listing specifies 10% nano hydroxyapatite, mint and xylitol, with no fluoride or SLS. That gives you an ingredient percentage to compare. It does not establish that the paste works better than fluoride toothpaste or that every hydroxyapatite formula has the same composition.
What is the best natural or organic toothpaste in Australia?
Grants Mild Mint is our natural pick: the listing calls it natural toothpaste, certified vegan and Australian made, with mint oil, aloe vera, xylitol and calcium carbonate. Organic certification is not stated for this pick. Natural, vegan and organic are different descriptions, so do not treat one as proof of another.
What is the best fluoride free toothpaste in Australia?
Grants Mild Mint suits a buyer wanting a natural twin pack without fluoride, SLS or preservatives, as its listing states. Mouthology is the alternative for a specifically listed 10% nano hydroxyapatite formula, also without fluoride or SLS. Choose between those ingredient descriptions and pack sizes rather than assuming they are equivalent.
What is the best toothpaste for sensitive teeth in Australia?
Sensodyne Repair & Protect Cool Mint is our pick for a single tube aimed at sensitive teeth. Its listing says it helps form a protective layer over sensitive areas and contains fluoride. Sensodyne Fresh Mint Twinpack is the two tube alternative, with the listing describing 24/7 sensitivity protection and best results with twice daily brushing.
What is the best toothpaste for bleeding gums or gum disease in Australia?
Parodontax Clean Mint is the pick whose listing names bleeding gums: one tube of about 96.4 g with a cool and refreshing mint flavour, rated 4.6 from 19,199 ratings across variants. That is the brand's own description. This guide compares listings, not treatments, so it does not say whether any toothpaste here treats gum disease.
Which toothpaste is recommended by dentists in Australia?
No listing here states an Australian dentist recommendation, and this guide gives no dental advice. The Sensodyne Fresh Mint listing calls the brand dentist recommended for sensitive teeth, and the Colgate Optic White Pro Series listing says it uses the whitening ingredient dentists use; both are the brands' own words. Choose by listed ingredients, tube weight and pack count instead.
Which toothpaste on this page is Australian made?
Grants Mild Mint is the only pick whose listing says Australian made and owned. It is a natural, certified vegan toothpaste with mint oil, aloe vera, xylitol and calcium carbonate, in two 110 g tubes with no fluoride, SLS or preservatives. No other listing here makes an Australian made claim, so choose the rest by formula.
