Help understanding the difference between two toothpastes fluoride content

150 viewsChemistryOther

I’m comparing two different toothpaste that I’m interested in switching to. The first toothpaste outlines the fluoride content as follows- sodium monofluorophosphate 0.76% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)

The second toothpaste outlines the fluoride content as follows- Sodium fluoride (0,243 % p/p)

Is one better than the other? If so, why is that?

I haven’t seen p/p to list a concentration before.

0.15% w/v means that there is 0.15 grams/100ml of toothpaste.
