Colgate Total whitening paste as well as other related products does not work does it ?

Question

I been using colgate total "whitening paste" for about 2 years. Tried paste and gel, seems as if my teeth has been the same color for the longest time. Even the whitening gum from trident or dentyne ice doesnt work at all does it ?. I think i been jipped and brain washed by these products that i havn't thought about it until now that it doesnt work.

Answer 1

They don't work, and their claims are way overstated just to sell them to a gullible public! Don't beat yourself up because you are not alone.

Answer 2

Most of the whitening tooth pastes actually make your teeth worst. They use microscope bits of sea shells to rub against your teeth, rubbing off stains. That also leaves teeny tiny grooves in your teeth, which eventually get stained again - and are now harder to remove.

Its always a better idea to go to a dentist, even though it costs more.

Answer 3

I've done this before, I literally just washed my hands, took a bit from the tube and put it on my nose. It did dry out the spot however I left it on for far too long (Overnight!) and ended up with really sore peeling skin on my nose. Be careful, it's probably better to use something which contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Answer 4

I haven't used Colgate, but I've used Crest Night Effects and those really worked. I haven't tried anything more though.

<3,

Answer 5

Yup. Bleach in products hyper elevates the levels of yeast in your mouth, which are plaque which yellows your teeth and actually makes your breath worse---stop breathing on me while I'm typing!---- Your better off sticking with the parsley between your teeth or mint or something. Actually kills plaque and gives your teeth a chance to naturally clean themselves. Also, lemon juice bleaches without being bleach.

Answer 6

it doesn't keep your mouth clean & fresh after brushing ?then something must be wrong with your stomach. consult a doctor at once. if your teeth r still yellow then consult a dentist .all tooth pastes are same. buy one & brush your teeth everyday twice. propperly.i don't think u r such a fool to go by the advertisemants. they advertise to promote their products. if u feel it is not good choose another product. that's all

Answer 7

I am assuming by paste, you mean tooth paste? I don't know if it works, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.

But my sister tried Crest Night Effects and they did work. Her denist recommended her to try that first and it worked. Hope this helps.

Answer 8

I've actually found that those Crest Whitening Strips work relaly well =)

Answer 9

I agree....I've never had any noticeable results from any of those products. Crest White Strips work pretty well.....I feel like I'm seeing some difference with those.

Answer 10

Confirmed.
