Macleans Fresh Mint

....and yes it is only a toothpaste! While waiting for Ciao to put on the product for my latest opinion I thought I would fill the void with another piece about a product that we all know about. Until that day, when our teeth are merely objects that stare at us from a glass on the bedside cabinet, toothpaste is an essential part of our life. To make it a bit more interesting I thought that I would think of a more exciting title…. So forgive me! I am not particularly loyal to a brand of toothpaste; I generally go for what ever is on offer and am not particularly bothered about what brand it is ... more

For all of my life I have used Macleans Freshmint toothpaste, the sole reason is that it's what my mum always bought! Now that I have to buy my own toothpaste, I still make it Macleans. I may be quite biased in this review, because Macleans is the only toothpaste that I ever use, but if you want to take a look inside my mouth, you will see that this toothpaste is an excellent product...no fillings, and perfect sparkling teeth! Macleans is produced by SmithKline Beecham, which you'll find is the manufacturer of many health care products, the correspondance address is, SmithKline Beecham ... more

Everyone knows how important it is to look after your teeth! Especially now that it is so hard to find a willing dentist! If you live in North Yorkshire anyhow!!

It's not trendy, it's boring white colour and my parents use it but guess what... it works. Surely that's the ultimate requirement for anything we buy. The main thing that I love is the fact that there are no gritty bits in the paste - it's just smooth and white. It doesn't make my mouth feel funny like the Macleans Whitening Toothpaste (foul!). As a smoker, I'm aware of having offensive breath and probably brush at least 4 or 5 times a day. I always get such fresh breath without the nasty stinging sensation of some pastes and the fresh breath lasts. The packaging has improved recently and ... more

Macleans toothpaste does the job of cleaning teeth without the need for fancy extras or pretty stripes. It effectively fights plaque acids that cause decay and strenghtens tooth enamel for strong healthy teeth. Its white paste has a fresh minty taste and leaves you with minty fresh breath and clean, plaque free gleaming teeth. I've tried many different toothpastes over the years such as whitening, baking soda and kiddies fruit flavoured pastes but always seem to come back to good old fashioned 'normal' pastes as it does much the same without the fuss.It is very reasonably priced to compared to ... more
