Every time I buy toothpaste, I always buy a whitening formula. So, needless to say, sincce toothpaste is something me and my husband use every day and night, we have bought quite a few teeth whitening toothpastes.
We also both drink coffee and tea, and I happen to also like juices and smoothies that use really dark berries like acai and blueberries, which also are known for staining the teeth.
This means that we both need a regular teeth whitening agent as well, because no matter how good your whitening toothpaste is, you still also need to do a good whitening gel or tray system, or whatever it is you happen to use to get your teeth white and to really periodically get a deep cleaning for those stains that accumulate every week or month.
The last whitening toothpaste I bought was one that is from a fairly new line of toothpaste and tooth care by Colgate called Pro Clinical. They have a few different kinds of Pro Clinical pastes, and one of them was for whitening. It’s not badly priced at about $4 for a tube of it.
It has a great taste, a very mild mint, and you can tell that it’s a great polisher because your teeth feel “squeaky clean” when you’re done scrubbing your teeth with it. I’ve been using the Colgate Pro Clinical for about a week now, and I do notice that my teeth look a bit brighter. I think that it will take a little while longer before I figure out if it is a significatn whitening agent.
Of course, it doesn’t help when I start drinking coffee and tea every morning again, and drinking my beloved fruit juices that are darkly colored. If you partake in these types of foods and beverages, it’s important to make sure you are using a high quality teeth whitener pretty much all the time.
Remember, white, bright teeth are an important part of maintaining that youthful appearance and brightening your whole face and smile. Studies have done on the things that make your face look older, and one of them shows that one of the biggest common denominators in older appearance in one’s face is darker, stained teeth.
This is a really cheap way to make sure you stay young and vibrant looking. And who doesn’t love having a great smile!?
