To top that all off, the gel is a fairly standard peroxide-based whitening gel, not unlike my beloved Plus White gel.
If you’re someone who has some basically-irreversible discoloration from dental fluorosis as-is, this kind of thing leaves a bad taste in your mouth (you know, along with the sucralose). Here’s a whitening product…that is going to noticeably stain your teeth, maybe *cough*. While staining is not unique to stannous fluoride, the fact that it is prevalent enough that Crest felt the need to make a disclaimer about it on the packaging is kind of, well, hilarious.
Products containing stannous fluoride may produce surface staining of the teeth…. Why is that a point of concern? The packaging tells you: Other Information: Rather than the fluoride we’re used to seeing (sodium fluoride) the Crest 3D White Brilliance 2-Step System uses Stannous Fluoride (yes, that is pronounced like Stannis Baratheon). Fluoride is present in, oh, every anti-cavity toothpaste on the market. No, I am not a fluoride conspiracy theorist, so don’t click away. Classic problems!Ĭontinuing? The fluoride. The abrasion does help lift stains, but at what cost? Gradually worn-away enamel, sensitivity, etc. More abrasive than a regular toothpaste, it had a strange grit to it that I did not enjoy. Imagine my delight when I started scrubbing away at my teeth with my Oral B 3000 with that on it… ew.īeyond the sweetener, I noticed that the paste had a particularly odd texture. The way it tastes bothers me…a lot! Every toothpaste I know of uses artificial sweeteners to make the brushing experience more pleasant, but sucralose is not the answer for me. For the love of cats why did you use sucralose, Crest?! It not only tastes horrible but is a migraine trigger for some people (myself included). Now, granted, you don’t intentionally ingest toothpaste…but let’s not pretend a tiny bit isn’t accidentally swallowed from time-to-time. I haven’t come across a toothpaste I truly disliked – sure, I am not a fan of spearmint or wintergreen-type mint toothpastes, but they didn’t make me see red. This, however? This did. Pretty simple process, not too many steps, not too complicated. This is a peroxide-based gel to bump up your whitening. Then, after spitting (I’ll take, “Words you never thought you’d write on your beauty blog,” for $1000, Trebek.), do not rinse, and brush again with the contents of the white tube, Step 2. First, you brush for one minute with the blue tube of Deep Cleansing toothpaste, clearly-labeled Step 1… The Crest 3D White Brilliance 2-Step System is intended to replace your normal toothpaste and is suggested to be used day and night as a part of your normal oral hygiene routine. #Crest 3d brilliance white professional#
Claiming to keep your teeth up to 99% as white as a professional polish/teeth whitening treatment, this product makes some tall claims. The newest addition to the 3D White line, Crest 3D White Brilliance 2-Step System, is sold together in some fairly snazzy, eye-catching packaging that is as fabulous as your teeth should hope to be when done with the regimen. I had used a couple of products from the 3D White line before although I liked them, I preferred my Extreme Herbal Mint, so back to it I went. Needless to say, my teeth aren’t as white as they could be, so in addition to my regular whitening toothpaste ( Crest Whitening Expressions Extreme Herbal Mint) I resort to whitening treatments (I love Plus White gel) from time to time.
