What Toothpaste Do You Use?

Hi team,
This a serious post and i'm looking for recommendations for a new toothpaste which really burns and cleans along with whitens the teeth.

I have tried almost every toothpaste by colgate and not ONE is hot enough to make my eyes water. I mean that minty tone that makes your breath fresh as an iceberg.

I used to use macleans and they had one that whitened the teeth, burnt my eyes clear and made my breath very fresh, but two years ago they changed packaging and the product changed too which lead me to colgate and the dilemma i'm now experiencing.

So please:

  1. Name your toothpaste that you use and recommend
  2. On a sale of 1 - 10, how 'minty fresh' and 'hot' is it when you brush?
  3. Good whitening?

I want the hottest toothpaste that also whitens the teeth.

note: Colgate Total whitening is the one I'm using currently. NOT GOOD enough

Cheers

    Colgate, the stand up pump bottle.
    I'll never use a standard toothpaste in a tube ever again…

    I go so far as buying a dozen at a time when I'm in Melbourne and bringing them back to KL where I live as they don't have them here.

    Never use a whitening one, just normal stuff.

    • grasstown on 29/07/2018 - 18:16

      Why are they better than tube?

      • [Deactivated] on 29/07/2018 - 23:51

        It is a bit easier to use and looks tidier in the bathroom.

    lol if you have bad breath its not the toothpaste, you need to floss and see a dentist to find the underlying cause

    • MoonlapseVertigo on 18/07/2018 - 12:54

      I see the dentist regularly - no issues. I floss every day. I'm purely after a new toothpaste so i don't need to chew gum before corporate meetings

    Whatever is cheapest and definitely none of those hippie chemical free artisinal rubbish they peddle.

    Current one is an Oral-B. Tastes like sarsparilla. I like sarsparilla.

      Have you tried any of the no-name brands of toothpaste? Surely they're the cheapest?

      • follow on 18/07/2018 - 13:08

        All smiles is one.

        Tbh, I don't pay for any pharmaceutical goods but I wouldn't be opposed to no name brands either.

        Toothpaste has pretty much been the same thing for the last 30-40 years. They work when used and don't when not.

      All smiles is the cheapest. NZ company.

  • chumlee on 18/07/2018 - 13:03

    I use degreaser on my toothbrush & undiluted bleach as mouthwash.

    • JIMB0 on 19/07/2018 - 14:00

      Acetone for aftershave?

      • chumlee on 19/07/2018 - 14:56

        Diesel. Not the fashion label one either

        On special occassions I use toilet water. I'm not paying big bucks for a bottle of the same thing just translated into French

  • Zedsdeadbabyzedsdead on 18/07/2018 - 13:19

    I use coconut oil, swish it around for 20 minutes then brush with activated charcoal.

  • Scab on 18/07/2018 - 13:40

    Just use any toothpaste mixed with some KFC hot and spicy sauce.

    get bad breath by 3pm

    Assuming you don't have dental issues it's probably your tongue, use a tongue cleaner.

    the 12 hour coverage is false advertising

    Said as though you believe other vague descriptions in advertising.

    Isn't that burning sensation just … alcohol?

    • sween64 on 24/07/2018 - 13:23

      Menthol, so yeah

    There is only one toothpaste range on the market which actually contains any actual 'whitening' ingredient (hydrogen peroxide), the Colgate 'Optic White' range (there are two versions both in red tubes). None of the other 'whitening' kinds of toothpaste have any ingredient that causes whitening at all.

    Note the mouthwash in the same range doesn't have any whitening ingredient.

  • Illian on 18/07/2018 - 15:43

    I use Marvis. But to answer your question, that is obviously what mouthwash is for! You know, that thing they sell next to the toothpaste? Yeah, that.

  • dylo on 18/07/2018 - 15:44

    3M Clinpro

    • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2018 - 10:56

      sounds hospital grade, where can we get that :)

      • dylo on 19/07/2018 - 14:44

        Chemist Direct and Ebay. Also some dental supply websites

    • sween64 on 24/07/2018 - 13:24

      Wow! $23 per tube!

      • dylo on 24/07/2018 - 13:56

        Yeah it's not the cheapest lol but I had a lot of dental issues a few years ago and this seemed to be the only product that helped.

    Try “ Colgate Neutrafluor”

    It over the counter pharmacy only, and I been using it over 8 years

    It has higher fluoride content

    • Mummy2 on 18/07/2018 - 17:19

      I use this as I need a high fluoride toothpaste, but I don't find it very minty at all.

      • OzFrugie on 18/07/2018 - 20:52

        Why do u need a high flouride one? Normal toothpaste not high enough concentration of flouride?

      • Speckled Jim on 19/07/2018 - 14:54

        I need higher octane, so it's 100 RON for me.
        Strong, tastes a bit funny.

    • Rel63 on 19/07/2018 - 13:22

      I use bi carb and coconut oil so as not to get any flouride at all.

  • ihbh on 18/07/2018 - 16:01

    It varies. My dentist doesn't always give away the same free one after each clean.

    • John Kimble on 18/07/2018 - 16:14

      Those tiny free samples don't last very long. How often do you go to the dentist or do you not brush at least 2x every day?

      • ihbh on 18/07/2018 - 17:31

        We get a small show bag. :)

    Why did you assume people would take this post as a joke? Toothpaste is serious!

    I use McClean though, have no problems with their paste

    • c64 on 18/07/2018 - 18:25

      is radium the active ingredient?

  • ego22 on 18/07/2018 - 17:21

    Dont ever buy whitening toothpaste.
    Its just more abrasive than regular toothpaste. So it does SLIGHTLY whiten for a short time. The micro scratches its making yellow and dull your teeth in the long run. especially when u stop.

    • OzFrugie on 18/07/2018 - 20:53

      Source?

    • JIMB0 on 19/07/2018 - 14:02

      They are not all abrasive, some use a chemical to whiten.

    1) https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/426213/ora…
    2) 8
    3) No idea, have only used it a few times

    • MoonlapseVertigo on 19/07/2018 - 11:32

      Thanks, i'm going to give this a try tonight!

      • John Kimble on 19/07/2018 - 11:40

        We only bought it because it was half price at Coles last week…

        My 8 might be your 2 though haha

  • badg3rz on 19/07/2018 - 08:51

    I use Biotène as I have dry mouth.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2018 - 10:55

    CEDEL the only commercial Australian Made tooth past i know of.

    Sometimes bad breath has nothing to do with your teeth btw

    Chewing Gum, rich lollies (like skittles, Minties and M&M Candy) don't retain the pleasant fragrance for long and become a plastic like material that takes extreme smelly effort to decompose in the belly

    That can tend to seep out with air.

    Try quitting all gum and chewy treats

  • c64 on 23/07/2018 - 09:01

    colgate don't even print the ingredients on the packet anymore. not buying colgate anymore …

  • Speckled Jim on 13/08/2018 - 23:59

    Just found some "Colgate Total Pro Clean Breath" at our place. I quite like it.
    7/10 hot IMO.
    Whitening? Too soon to tell.

    Did a search to see if still available. Currently $3.50 (50% off) at Woolies:

  • Tames71 on 29/08/2018 - 05:24

    Colgate usually.
