Trident White Gum For Stronger Whiter Teeth

Many of us are obsessed with white, clean teeth. Please, no cavities.

Several articles ago, we discovered that cheap brand Ultra Brite Advanced Whitening Toothpaste ($2.09, for a big tube) is the number #1 BEST whitening paste around, according to the latest Consumer Reports' studies.

Meantime, sugarless gums are getting in on the whitening kick now. Trident and Orbit Gums, both claim they can whiten teeth beautifully with their special whitening agents blended into the gum.

Trident White Sugarless Gum ($1.19, Walgreens) promises it can whiten your teeth in as little as 4 weeks. If you really love to chew and chew gum, this one's for you.

Trident White has an ingredient in it called---recaldent. Recaldent is a tooth strengthener containing molecules that bind to calcium. This sugarless gum has xylitol in it, too. Xylitol is a sugar-free sweetner that helps protect teeth from decay by stabilizing a neutral pH level in the mouth. Huh? Alright, that's getting a bit complicated here, but it all sounds like good science.

So how do we go about brightening our smiles, lifting stains, making stronger teeth, and fighting away tooth decay?

According to the folks at Trident, just chew 2 pieces of Trident White Sugarless Gum after eating and drinking. Chew 2 pieces, 4 times a day, for 4 weeks. That's one busy mouth. Another plus here, chewing gum burns some calories, not a thousand, but a minor few. But also, chewing gum prevents you from eating, so that way, you're burning calories, too.

Maybe, brushing with Ultra Brite Toothpaste, AND chewing Trident White Sugarless Gum equals double the whitening agent strength.
