If you really must have something else in your mouth after eating, xylitol-containing gum/mint (make sure it's sugar-free) is a safe option. Look for gums that have the ADA Accepted seal, as those have been vetted by dentists to help prevent cavities if chewed for 20 minutes after eating.
Typical anticavity toothpaste active ingredient: Sodium fluoride 0.25% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)
Alternative anticavity toothpaste active ingredient: Sodium monofluorophosphate 0.76% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)
Typical Anti hypersensitivity toothpaste active ingredient: Potassium nitrate 5%
There are differences between stannous flouride and sodium flouride, stannous is antimicrobial and attacks the bacteria that causes gum disease, hence the name of this toothpaste.
if the active ingredient is the same between 2 toothpastes, just remember the only difference in what brand you buy is the flavor.

They've added zinc citrate. It's one of the alternatives to triclosan after it was banned. Colgate uses it too for added long term antibacterial kill.
The other is amino acid, which the other Crest uses.
For many, depends on the funny tongue aftertaste which antibacterial...

That said, ALL the American consumer toothpastes are weak !#$ compared to EU/JP toothpastes with a higher concentration of fluoride. (Higher statistically results in greater reduction of chance of cavities.)

And key is to brush within 30 minutes of eating or drinking anything with sugar. Don't let the acid build up.
