Your best bets for fluoridated toothpastes are probably sensodyne, unless you can find these more obscure brands.

I hope they continue to test more adult pastes!

While it’s entirely possible that some toothpaste brands contain lead, I’ll wait until an independent test laboratory confirms this before I worry about it.
