The Dirt on... The Dirt
After a lot of research, I decided to try this product because it is one of the only toothpastes (well, it's not really a paste at all but you get my point) that doesn't contain sucralose which I am allergic to. Cinnamon, btw, is the only flavor of Dirt that doesn't contain any sweetener at all (the other two contain Stevia extract just FYI). To use it, you wet your toothbrush and dip it into the glass jar and then brush your teeth. It doesn't foam and it turns your teeth brown -- until you rinse. Then your teeth are nice and white and feel smooth. After using it for a week, I decided to brush once with regular toothpaste again to see if I could sense a difference in how my teeth felt. The difference was negligible-- if regular toothpaste is a 10 in that category, The Dirt would be a 9. BUT... I noticed that I had fresher breath for longer after using The Dirt than I did after regular toothpaste. The Dirt never felt overly abrasive and I like the fact that I'm no longer putting a myriad of chemicals in my mouth twice a day. The little glass jar isn't ideal if you're someone who spills stuff a lot (this stuff ain't cheap!). Over time, my teeth may not be as white as before simply because it doesn't contain whitening agents, so we'll see. But overall, it's worth trying. I'm going to continue to use it.
