I'm a dentist.
In all honestly, most of these products are just offering gimmicks. The best toothpastes, toothbrushes, and flosses are the ones you use.
Regular brushing, flossing, and use of fluoride mouthrinses as well as a healthy diet will pretty-much guarantee you healthy teeth and gums, provided you are not genetically pre-disposed to tooth decay and periodontal disease.Health Question & Answer

Tooth past is tooth paste, it's how you brush that makes the difference, if you are experiencing gingivitis, brush with the bristles edge against your gums, you will notice bleeding, but after continuing to do this the bleeding will stop. Listerine is very effective.Health Question & Answer
Nope. The most common gum disease is gingivitis so if it fights gingivitis, it is also healthy for gums.Health Question & Answer
