Product Review: Aquafresh White & Shine Toothpaste for Whiter Teeth

Have you been looking for a way to whiten your teeth without the hassle of using the messy whitening strips or trays? If so, I recommend Aquafresh White & Shine Fresh Mint toothpaste for a hassle-free way to whiten your teeth. A while back, my son received a free sample of Aquafresh White & Shine toothpaste. After about a month of using the toothpaste, I took a double take at his teeth. They were white and shiny. Now, you have to realize that my son has never been one to have white teeth. In fact, I had been concerned about how yellow his teeth were. I asked him what he was doing differently, and he said nothing except that he was using the sample tube of Aquafresh White & Shine toothpaste.

About this same time, I was trying to get myself ready for my high school reunion. One of my goals was to have whiter teeth. So I went out and bought the expensive Crest Whitening strips. I forced myself to put the strips on. When I peeled the strips off, I could barely stand it without feeling like I was going to gag. I'll admit that the whitening strips did whiten my teeth somewhat, but once the reunion was over there was no way I was going to continue to use them. I would rather have yellow teeth than continue the hassle of using the whitening strips.

But after seeing such amazing results with my son's teeth, I had renewed hope of having white teeth. I ran to the store to get my own tube of Aquafresh White & Shine toothpaste.

Aquafresh White & Shine toothpaste comes in a fresh mint flavor which we both find very appealing. I can always tell when my son brushes his teeth because his breath is minty fresh.

I wish the tube had a flip open top like my Colgate toothpaste had, but instead it has a large cap that screws off.

I was concerned that I would be sacrificing the health of my teeth and gums by switching to a toothpaste designed for whitening instead of tartar control. But at my last dentist appointment the dentist said my teeth were healthy. So obviously Aquafresh White & Shine also does a good job of preventing plaque and tartar.

On the box, Aquafresh White & Shine toothpaste says, "Not only helps whiten teeth . . . also uses micro-buffing particles to actually polish away imperfections . . . for that perfect smooth finish."

And then it happened . . . I was having lunch with a friend when she stopped me mid-sentence and asked, "How do you get your teeth so white?"

That's when I knew that Aquafresh White & Shine toothpaste was my new favorite toothpaste.
