I have seen lots of commercials for toothpaste and I have been given Crest by past dentists.

All are fine. If you have sensitive teeth use a sensitivity toothpaste and avoid whitening toothpastes. If you have no issues, anything is fine. If you have dry mouth, avoid toothpastes with sodium lauryl sulfate. There are ones without it. Do not succumb to advertising, as it's just that
Most toothpastes are relatively the same. If you tend to build up tartar, use a tartar control toothpaste. If you have sensitivity, use Sensodyne. Is you want whitening toothpaste, the American Dental Association did a study a few years ago and found Ultrabrite (~$1.00/tube) as the best whitening toothpaste.
Which kind you use is not nearly as important as brushing thoroughly for 2 minutes morning and night.

On toothpaste I will go against the pack and suggest NO FLUORIDE! Fluoride competes with iodine in the thyroid, causes brittle bones and teeth, and a Harvard study showed fluoride lowers IQ in children. I recommend fluoride free Spry toothpaste that uses xylitol to sweeten the paste and reduce cavities by attacking the bacteria without harm to the human.
The marketing done by toothpaste companies make it difficult to make a choice. Find a toothpaste that you like and use it. Fluoride is important. I usually recommend a basic toothpaste to my patients unless there is a specific condition where they would benefit from something else. But in reality you can remove plaque effectively without toothpaste. So find something that you like and use it consistently.
