What toothpaste would you recommend? Currently using Squigle toothpaste followed by Peractil 2x/day, but my mouth doesn't feel clean enough.

I've never found a commercial toothpaste that really made my teeth feel clean. After using a regular toothpaste, I use peroxide & baking soda. My teeth feel extremely clean and the baking soda removes the taste of mint from the toothpaste which I hate.

Assuming there is no sensitivity use the strips everyday for two weeks straight. Then use the strips twice a week with baking soda the rest of the time.Then use the the strips once a week and stay at that level. Depending of the whiteness depends on the quantity of the strips. Use less for maintaining, and more for bringing to level of increasing whiteness. Start using toothpaste with whitener and/or baking soda in its ingredients to maintain white. Use strips as needed. Good luck. Respond if you have more questions. Would like to keep up with your progress.

Of course. Crest ProHealth is nice, as it is the only toothpaste with stannous flouride (the rest use sodium flouride), which persists longer on the tooth and is more effective.

I have read this many times on the internet. I know this to be true because when I used Dr.Collins Restore toothpaste, I noticed new bone growth occurring in my teeth where I had lost bone from periodontal disease. Dr. Collins does not contain glycerin or flouride which also inhibits the growth of new bone. Therefore when I used Squigle, I did not get any new bone growth so I attribute that to the presense of glycerin in the product.

I've only been using my rechargeable toothbrushes, for a little over a week. So far I have not noticed any toothpaste build up, but I always make sure to rinse it well and dry it with a towel when I am through brushing. I'm on vacation now and this is the first time I've used my travel T. brush, it's much smaller, but it fits easily in my purse, which I like. My teeth feel really clean after brushing; so far so good.

I am not certain, but I treat it the same I do toothpaste. I make sure that I get the majority of it out of my mouth so I do not ingest it. Personally, I usually do not rinse my mouth out directly after brushing/cleaning my tongue. I could be wrong, but I feel like the ingredients meant to prevent bacteria build-up in the mouth are largely rinsed out if I do that.

I brush my teeth with Colgate upon waking and doing the normal morning routine. I also drink a couple of cups of tea each morning. After I drink my tea I will brush again and then I apply the whitening stick and let it set. I use it each evening and I apply a little bit more at night before bed so it can work while I sleep. I have super sensitive teeth but this product has not affected the sensitivity and I love it. It is so easy to use and results are great. If you do eat breakfast then as Jem stated wait about 30 minutes.

Personally, I use peroxide, as a mouthwash. Before that, I was using straight Listerine in it. Works fine.

I definitely noticed a vast improvement - in a different way. 1 - Regular store-bought toothpaste caused my tinnitus (ringing in the ears) to increase. When I use Xyliwhite my tinnitus decreases. 2 - Xyliwhite has a pleasant taste with NO aftertaste. * I tried a different brand from the healthfood store, but did not care for the taste. Xyliwhite is definitely my favorite. The mint is great. Then I decided to try the cinnamon, but was worried it might have too strong of a flavor. Glad I tried it because I absolutely love the cinnamon. It has just the right amount of flavor. After using Xyliwhite I have stopped looking for any other brand. Hope this helps.

Use vinegar to get the calcium buildup off! Don't use toothpaste, it's abrasive.

I've been using Go Smile for years. I use the touch up tubes on an average of three times a week. My teeth maintain a white look. I tried the Go Smile sticks that you can use on a daily basis but the product runs out quickly or doesn't really work at all in terms of longevity.

I don't think so. It is the consistency of regular toothpaste, but it just doesn't foam. I spit it out just because I'm not used to swallowing toothpaste, but you could swallow it. My four year old does. It almost feels like brushing with just your toothbrush, but my teeth are whiter than ever with no whitening toothpaste. I've also had throbbing nerve pain with some of my teeth. I know xylitol can rebuild tooth enamel, so I rubbed Earthpaste straight on my throbbing teeth. A couple days later, not pain and it hasn't come back. I'm pleased with this toothpaste.

I use it for teeth brushing daily and it's excellent! I brush with regular "toothpaste" (I use Brushing Rinse) after though.

Absolutely! Great stuff - your teeth will really whiten and feel slippery-clean. I wouldn't use it aggressively every day, but once or twice a week it's really quite good!

I agree about the sensodyne. I found that if I used the strips after I had been using the Crest 3D whitening toothpaste exclusively, I got sensitivity. So I suggest using a sensodyne type toothpaste for a week or more before using the strips. Then when you are done you can go back to whitening toothpaste. Both the strips and the 3D toothpaste worked great though.

I'd stick with the 20%. It is definitely not as harsh as the 35% . 15% would take a lot longer to see the results and I find it's a bit too weak to get them bright enough. The 20% I find to be very effective and doesn't make my teeth hurt when the wind blows haha. Also strongly recommend sensodyne toothpaste.
