i also recommend Colgate's "Peroxyl" for mouth cleanliness. it's basically mint flavored hydrogen peroxide. great stuff, and gives the foaming action as you mentioned too melly.

Originally posted by tubularbills yeah i agree it's a nice toothpaste for cleanliness. but yeah, no difference in whitening. of course i drink a lot of coffee but even before i started drinking coffee, i noticed no difference. :/

I drink massive amounts of coffee daily, so my teeth at times are pretty stained. I agree with you, I don't find the whitening pastes to do much, if at all. I did try those pre-rinsing/brushing mouthwashes and found that to work decently well. the plain otc crest white-strips are supposed to be really good too, but I feel too gay to use that.

yeah fuck those strips man.

haha. I am a fan of foaming action. I've just never seen a toothpaste foam this much with so little.

I don't know if I can change now... But I will keep that brand in mind.

Wait, you're too gay for teeth whitening? Why even worry about it at this point?

nah it's not a toothpase, just a rinse/mouthwash.

I have done those crest strips before but I could never finish it. They make your teef super duper sensitive.

Super duper.

when I'm bored I tend to read the front page articles on yahoo, and they recently had one on toothpaste. they said foaming action has nothing to do with cleaning, that they just add detergents for the foaming effect because people tend to think they get a better clean with it.
