Answers:
Not really..
In order to get a higher level of protection against cavities you need to use a prescription toothpaste..
The most important thing is to get them cleaned regularly as you will get build up - (plaque (soft sticky - you brush off), tartar (hard buildup - old plaque that gets cement like that needs to be removed with an instrument) and stain.. Once those are removed you need to brush your teeth 2-3 times a day for 2 minutes and floss.. It is more important how long and how well you brush for than the paste..
Hope that helps!
