TRIED AND TESTED
SMILE BRIGHT Our panel delivers their verdict on whitening toothpastes SENSODYNE PRONAMEL GENTLE WHITENING, £4 Bryony I liked the milder taste of this toothpaste. I’d buy this if my teeth were feeling sensitive. Alison I really liked the minty flavour of this one and it made my teeth look brighter. Emma This had a mild taste and said it was ‘gentle’ on the packaging, but I did see a slight improvement in the colour of my teeth.
ORAL-B 3D WHITE ARCTIC FRESH, £3.50 Bryony My teeth felt very clean and the freshness remained all morning. Alison This toothpaste was easy to dispense and my teeth did feel clean and fresh. Emma I really liked the taste of this one and my mouth felt fresh all morning. I did notice a small change in stain removal.
PRO FORMULA ALL-DAY PROTECTION COMPLETE WHITENING, £1.25 Bryony Easy to open with one hand and had a pleasant taste. Great value! Alison I was pleasantly surprised by this: I liked the mint flavour and it worked at lifting stains. Emma This had an interesting texture, and I definitely noticed a small change in whiteness over the trial period.
COLGATE ADVANCED WHITE, £3.50 Bryony This had a nice lasting freshness and I noticed that my teeth did look a little whiter after a few days. Alison I liked the texture of the micro-cleaning crystals and my teeth looked slightly whiter. I’d buy this. Emma My teeth felt squeaky clean after using this and, of all the toothpastes, this was the one where I noticed the most change.
