Regular paste
Any type of regular cleaning tooth paste can be used, only the technique of brushing should be right

It contains fluoride depending on different concentration from 500-1000ppm and even some contains desensitizing agents to treat sensitivity.
Medicated tooth paste should not be used in children under 3years of age as they might swallow the paste and paste with 1000ppm concentration should be used under dentist guidance.
Medicated tooth paste should only be used under dentist guidance.
