Review (5/5): A diamond in the rough for awesomely clean teeth
I've used this product for over a year, and had great results with it. As other reviewers have stated, it can be messy so there is a slight learning curve- but overall I've found that the results from MMM are unparalleled, and when used properly it's quite cheap.
Tips:
-You do need to follow the directions to avoid a mess, but it's not that difficult- brushing in the shower is a great way to avoid any clean up.
-The powder can cling to your gums a little after rinsing, so I always brush, rinse, then lightly brush over my teeth again with water and the rinsed toothbrush. Works to get all residue off every time.
-some other reviewers said it made their teeth sensitive, but I have the opposite experience! I have some very sensitive teeth and MMM always improved the sensitivity. I even had a roommate who would put MMM on his teeth and let it sit to help with his teeth sensitivity issues.
-Pregnancy safe! This was all I would use when I was pregnant and trying so hard to avoid any unnecessary chemicals. So glad that it was all natural and gentle, safe even to swallow.
I used this product as a toothpaste substitute.
My dentist loved it, and I've had great results with it in this manner. In fact, when I've run out of it and used regular toothpaste, I notice a horrible breath issue and taste in my mouth the next morning. My SO noticed the same thing too! We figure the MMM is more effective at reducing mouth bacteria which you grow accustomed to when using normal toothpaste.
I've also always found the taste extremely mild. Never bothered me. The texture is different from normal toothpaste in that it doesn't foam, but I feel you brush better this way! You actually feel a lot more of your teeth and gums while you brush.
Give it a try!
