When I was younger I remember my dad getting pearl drops. I don't know why, but I wanted to use it. I'd ask my dad if I could use it and usually he would refuse me saying I was too young to be using it. It seems silly looking back on it now why I wanted to use it in the first place. Usually kids go after sweets, but I wanted to try Pearl Drops.
I think what attracted me to the bottle was the way it used to stand it looked so neat. The colours attracted me too. It just looked so different compared to other toothpastes. The bottle was shaped differently it wasn’t in a tube like other toothpaste and I think that made me curious. I remember the first time my dad let me use it. It tasted different to ordinary toothpastes. It tasted nicer and made my teeth feel different after using it. It made them feel cleaner. After using it the first time I would find ways of using it again. I would always make sure that I only used a tiny drop so my dad wouldn't notice. I only really needed a small drop to make my teeth shine and it was good having people say what lovely teeth I had. As long as I took a little drop then my dad wouldn’t find out. I think it was more that my dad was stingy with things. He counts the sweets by his bed so he knows if anyone has taken 1. That's my dad for you. We just tend to laugh it off.
Anyway since childhood I didn't use pearl drops again until about a month ago. I couldn't believe it when I saw it in the shops I had no idea that it was still being made. So obviously when I found it again after all those years I jumped at the chance of buying it the added bonus of it being in my local pound shop. I was reunited with my beloved Pearl Drops and now it was all mine to use, oh well apart from having to share it with my husband. I don’t count the drops each bottle has so my husband is free to use it, but if my dad comes round then I might think again. But, at least I don’t have to sneak around using it I could finally be open about my Pearl Drops addiction, lol!
Usually Pearl Drops will cost you about £3 I got it for £1.
I don't use Pearl Drops on it's own I have my own routine. I will brush my teeth with toothpaste and then finish off by using Pearl Drops. I have also noticed that, that gives me the best results. Over a few weeks my teeth have regained there whiteness and they are shining like a star. The taste of Pearl Drops is really pleasant especially the spearmint flavour which I bought. The bottle looks really neat the colours white and green.
After using Pearl Drops my teeth feel really smooth and clean. They look white, bright and not as dull as they had previously looked. Over a prolonged period of usage my teeth get even better. Even for £3 it has got to be worth it to have shiny teeth.
I used to smoke so when I gave up I still had yellow stained teeth, but now thanks to Pearl Drops they are getting better. Pearl Drops is a specialist whitening tooth polish. Continued use helps remove new stains so that you maintain your brightest smile. Pearl Drops contains no harsh abrasives, bleaches or acidic pH. Contains fluoride to strengthen your tooth enamel and protect against decay.
It is said that after three weeks of twice daily use you will notice the difference. It is concentrated with four special polishers to help polish your teeth their smoothest and shiniest. Every drop contains thousands of soft particles that polish your teeth as you brush.
Pearl Drops is available from Boots, Superdrug, Sainsbury and Tesco, major retailers and independent chemists.

My final words are if you care about your teeth and want them looking their best then I would definitely recommend this to you it has worked for me.

I think looking after your teeth is very important after all nobody wants to end up with missing teeth do they?

Review of Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpaste by

Advantages: Money back
Disadvantages: Need for money back
Pearl Drops:
Pearl Drops is a tooth whitening polish, made by Carter Products LTD. I am always quite sceptical when it comes to these magic formulas which make you more beautiful, but this one in particular intrigued me.
I usually like to think of myself as quite thick-skinned when it comes to being influenced by advertising. I have to say, however, that the Pearl Drops commercial got me hook, line and sinker. They offered guaranteed whiter teeth ... ...Boots where I bought the Pearl Drops for £3.99. This is a reasonable price, though you have to take into account that there is only 50ml of the stuff, which is not very much at all. I suppose the container is quite unique. Having opened the box you find an upside down triangle shape resting upon a pedestal. This is a very simple yet clever design, because there is no squeezing needed to get the paste out, as gravity does all the hard work. It's very ...

Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpolish
Review of Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpaste by
natalierees
Advantages: Readily available, white teeth
Disadvantages: need to use normal toothpaste as well
Until recently I used Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpolish on a daily basis - I don't use it daily anymore but on to that later.
The ideal behind this product is that as it states it "Gently removes stains for natural whiteness." Considering my teeth are not in bad condition (no fillings etc) they still needed a bit of whitening.
This is readily available in chemists and all supermarkets and is in very disctinctive packaging and is £2.39 in my local ... ...The tube has a big Pearl Drops logo emblazoned on it so would be hard to miss on the shop shelves.
I find it interesting that this is not marketed as a toothpaste but as a toothpolish. I have certainly found that this is not a product that I would actually use to clean my teeth. Normal toothpaste lathers up nicely when you use it but I found that Pearl Drops do not and in order to make my teeth feel really clean and fresh i need to use a normal ...

I thought it would do the same job as Colgate Whitening toothpaste but I was persuaded to give it a try! Just a few days after using Pear Drops, I felt happier with my teeth and surprisingly, my gums were feeling better to. A while before my gums started bleeding an awful lot and after getting treatment for them, they were fine. They were still a bit sore when eating or drinking ...

Flash those Pearlies luv!
Review of Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpaste by
lulu2004
Advantages: Fresh Breath, Clean Teeth, Improved Whiteness
Disadvantages: May be Abrasive
...this, instead of my usual pearl drops tooth polish, and by the time i had checked my receipt, i had already walked out of Tescos with it. so although, reasonably happy with the colour of my teeth, I thought i’d give it a whirl… no harm done if it didn’t work. Perhaps my mistake could be put down bad packaging design- Both the tooth polish and tooth whitener are extremely similar in appearance.
*** The Packaging***
Pearl drops whitening toothpaste ... ...and religiously have been using pearl drops for the past three weeks. (in conjunction with my normal toothpaste too) it is made by carter products ltd, in folkestone.
“Continued use helps remove new stains and plaque so that you maintain your brightest smile day after day”
*** The Toothpaste Flavour and Strength ***
Pearl Drops by itself, is not too strong and minty. i think ‘fresh’ would be the most suitable word. It is not abrasive and contains ...

Whiter than white
Review of Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpaste by
sarahpervin
Advantages: whiter teeth
Disadvantages: expensive
...drink tea/coffee. She recommended pearl drops daily whitening tooth polish so I popped to the co-op and purchased it for the rather steep price of £3.99! Expensive I know but worth a try.
In the box you get a colour chart to compare the colour of your teeth now to the colour of your teeth in say three weeks time so you can prove it works. They claim that you will notice the difference after two weeks and do offer a money back guarantee as long as ... ...that is valid for cause I’ve chucked the box! Duh!
The product comes in a white tube with a screw cap that stands on its head so to speak, do not turn it upside down else you will never get the toothpaste out!
The product contains no bleach or abrasives but does contain fluoride to strength tooth enamel.
Anyway enough about what it looks like the question is does it work? Well the answer is yes I have noticed a slight improvement but don’t forget ...
