not for those with white fillings
I have been using Colgate optic white toothpaste for a little while. I gave it a try because CVS (a drug store) was having a sale that made it free with coupons. I was drawn to it because of the ads on the TV claiming white teeth in a week. I am a tea drinker so my teeth are a bit yellow from it. I will try almost anthing if it is free.<br /><br />If you spread it on the teeth and smile for 4 minutes (meaning dont touch your lips to your teeth) it not only whitens faster than just brushing but removes more plaque.<br />It works quite fast. I have never seen results like this before from a whitening toothpaste. Actually I have NEVER seen results at all before from a whitening toothpaste.<br /><br />if you have white fillings on your front teeth, you may notice the fillings lightening faster than the real tooth. This is problematic.<br />It does not get teeth as clean as other colgate toothpastes and tastes disgusting (like gargling peroxide).<br />As many have said the price is steep, but I happened to get 2 tubes for free with a recent CVS deal so I cannot really comment on the price. Free is free after all. For a free toothpaste it was very good.
