"Toothpastes containing baking soda and higher amounts of silica are generally more abrasive and, for sheer cleaning ability, do a better job. In a major comparative roundup, Colgate Luminous (*est. $3.75/6 oz.) beat out most others for overall cleaning ability"

I'm not disagreeing with the above answer to the question, but with the legitimacy of the quote. Abrasive toothpastes are very dangerous for the teeth and will eventually cause the enamel to thin revealing the dentin underneath. The dentin is darker than the enamel and will cause the teeth to appear darker. This, in combination with the fact that abrasives remove the protective layer (enamel) of your teeth make them an altogether terrible idea.
