I just got back from the dentist. I scored high on good oral health. No cavities. But I'm always complaining to my dentist about wanting the whitest teeth on the planet. He thinks my teeth are already white enough. "Have you tried the Crest Whitening Strips," he asks. Yes, I answer, and they don't do a thing for me, I tell him.
But what's interesting here, I just caught a report by the well-respected and well-researched http://www.consumerreports.org/. And they claim, the best tooth whitening toothpaste is:
Ultra brite All In One Advanced Whitening.
Consumer Reports tested 41 toothpastes, toothpastes that all boast about whitening your teeth. And they found that most brands do not live up to the hype or expensive price tags. But only one was really superior at stain removal. And this one wasn't too abrasive, meaning, the toothpaste would not harm teeth and gums. And that is---Ultra brite. And what a bargain at just $2.19 a tube, 6 oz. But it's not available on all store shelves. You can get it at http://www.drugstore.com/ and drugstores like CVS.
Ultra brite doesn't even contain peroxide, and yet is able to whiten teeth beautifully. The winning toothpaste is also good at fighting cavities and tartar.
No, I haven't tried Ultra brite yet, but I am going to give it a shot and let you know how well it whitens. I read several reviews about the toothpaste, and a number of coffee drinkers gave Ultra brite, the big thumbs up!!
I haven't used this in years, but I like the idea that it is highly rated by Consumer Reports AND not super-expensive. I am going to try it.
ReplyDeleteNo cavities - good for you!
Thank you for checking in. I agree with the Consumer Reports standard, but why is the toothpaste not readily available on store shelves? I've got to do more digging on this one.
ReplyDeleteHey all---Just saw in my CVS circular today, ULTRA BRITE on the front page. On sale---only 99 cents with your CVS card this week. I made a note of it, in the article. Im buying a few.
ReplyDeleteWalMart doesn't stock nor Walgreens. When asked clerk had never heard of it. I reminded her CR said 'best buy' for the $$ twice in the past ten years. Too cheap for them to carry I guess. God forbid they should help us underdogs. It probably flies off the shelves at that price and I'm sure not too much profit for the stores. It's much better than anything else five times the price that i've used over the years. Finally located some at CVS but sparse supply compared to the more expensive and less effective products. For shame WalMart.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog when searching for "Ultra Brite"
ReplyDeleteMy family has been using this toothpaste for years and all of us are always complimented for our shiny white smiles, so I'll have to agree with the reviews that Consumer Reports gives it!
I can usually find it anywhere, but surprisingly I see it carried at the dollar store, and I'll usually buy a couple at a time.
you can buy this at Walmart for .97 cents---- i love it....i think it is the best toothpaste out there!!
ReplyDeletetry the dollar store, I got my ultra brite at dollar tree after reading good reviews. It makes my teeth feel really clean!
ReplyDeleteUltrabrite can be found at Wal Mart for a dollar! I have used it for 4 months and my teeth are VERY white.
ReplyDeleteIt's (ULTRA BRITE) a nice toothpaste. You can also try with Crest Pro-Health Whitening toothpaste is an affordable toothpaste that helps to prevent the development of cavities, bad breath and gingivitis.
