Better than asking a dentist is asking a dental hygienist. Dentists are dental surgeons primarily concerned with solving specific problems with surgical intervention. Hygienists are oral health nurses concerned with preventive care and overall health and wellbeing.

And listen to your hygienist. There is no cure-all toothpaste for everyone (eg not everyone needs anti-sensitivity toothpaste, the risk of erosion in whitening toothpastes might be a concern for some people, some people need higher fluoride concentrations, etc)
