Brush and Rinse

 I want to start off my introducing how i got to trying these products.  It is thanks to BzzAgent.  They are a website where different campaigns are available to be given to its members.  You do have to be invited in order to join a campaign, so doing surveys are an important process in getting chosen to participate.  Once your invited to join, they send you a package of the campaign and tell you about the product.  You then use the products and review what you think of it.  It is very fun and free to join.  www.bzzagent.com/


 Let us get straight to the review.  First thing i tried was the toothpaste.  I read the claims carefully, and it pretty much says the same stuff as my regular toothpaste.  I don't have poor dental hygiene, so it is hard for me to say yes or no to whether their claims are true.  What i do get from the overall packaging and message, however, is that your teeth will feel cleaner than a regular toothpaste.  I do feel that after i brush my teeth have a squeakier feeling than normal, but its not the gross kind of squeaky clean, so perhaps it does do that.  It terms of the taste, i feel that it is alright, but it doesn't taste as minty as the regular toothpaste i use.  Some people might like that better. Overall, the toothpaste is very normal.  By that, i mean it doesn't specialize in whitening.  So i also can't judge for that;  do i feel like it whitened my teeth.  Not really, but it didn't make it yellow or anything. 

The mouthwash is something i have used in the past.  I'm not a fan of this mouthwash because it turns my teeth a slight blue color.  it is very very subtle, and if you don't look very hard, you won't notice.  But i did notice as with Listerine.  I find all the blue mouthwashes turns my teeth blue.  This is why i like the Listerine whitening pre-wash formula much better.  It terms of whether is kills germs, i feel like it does what it claims.  Although, again, i don't have terrible hygiene and nothing significantly improved while i was using it, so it is hard to tell.

The toothbrush makes me very biased, because i normally use an electric toothbrush and nothing feels cleaner than that.  The toothbrush claims for a cleaner feeling than other manual toothbrushes, so it isn't falsely claiming anything.  However, i'm not a big fan of the plastic bristles on the toothbrush.  I have sensitive gums, so it is quite uncomfortable and almost feels not normal. 

Overall, the products are just mediocre because there isn't a significant difference after using any products.  It gets 3 stars because it didn't make anything worse and still works as the product itself is comparable to other teeth products.
