With all of the celebrities in Hollywood having bright white smiles and looking perfect in magazines, it is so hard to not want to have white teeth just like them but it is so hard to achieve this. Some people are just naturally lucky to have their teeth so white but others go to the extent of paying for expensive whitening at the dentist. There are also cheaper alternatives like whitening kits that you can buy from places such as Boots, which I haven't tried. I opted for the cheaper alternative of trying whitening toothpaste but didn't just want to use any company but one that I knew I could trust. So when I saw Aquafresh on offer and saw the word whitening beside it I decided to purchase this and give it a try.
I have tried many toothpaste's in the past, ranging from Tesco's own brand to Colgate and so on to achieve white teeth but still they just leave them not really white but just a typical tooth colour of that few shades down from bright white. I suppose having a good toothbrush also helps but still the toothpaste does the main job. I tried buying one of the whitening toothpaste in the past and it left me with sensitive teeth so I don't know what exactly that was doing to have given me that.
The packaging of the toothpaste is quite eye catching; it is a metallic blue colour, so it instantly stood out to me on the shelf. When the box is off the blue metallic tube still shines and has the navy blue Aquafresh logo on the side with the usual symbol of toothpaste in the three-striped red white and blue. It also has directions on the back, ingredients and what it aims to do while using it.
The toothpaste claims that it will flight plaque to help protect gums, help strengthen teeth and restore natural whiteness and lastly, give you long lasting freshness. The toothpaste is easy to squeeze out of the tube; they recommend a pea-sized amount for young children and a small strip for adults. The toothpaste comes out in red white and blue strips but obviously as time has gone on mine now comes out in a pinkish blue colour since it has all faded into one. It smells really minty which is quite fresh smelling and will keep your breath fresh also.
So after I have put the strip onto the toothbrush I run it under water quickly then start to brush my teeth vigorously to get them as clean as possible. Once I have finished brushing and the toothpaste has foamed up as much as it can I rinse it out and then check the mirror to see the results that it has given me.
I look up into the mirror and smile to see my teeth, they look really clean but there isn't really much of a change. However, I have now been using the toothpaste for about two to three months now and although I still wouldn't say my teeth were Hollywood white, they have gone a shade lighter probably but I didn't expect too much to really happen unless I paid a LOT. It definitely cleans my teeth really well though and the toothpaste has lasted a while as coming onto my third month.
This toothpaste I purchased on offer at Tesco where it was something like buy one get one free or the second half price. The actual retail price of it is £1.96 for the 100ml tube which according to Tesco Online is still on offer of Buy One Get One Free so if you wan this I suggest you go to your local Tesco now and stock up on this great offer. The deal is on until the 15th of January.
This toothpaste is a good buy but I am not sure if it will continue to be my toothpaste choice for too long as I still want whiter teeth and have so many other brands out there to try still. I will continue looking and reviewing but for now this does the job of keeping my teeth clean and my breath fresh and it is worth the money as it lasts. For more information on the product, go to the official website of Aquafresh which is quite simple http://www.aquafresh.co.uk .
