Advantages: Great clean taste, cheaper than other toothpastes

Disadvantages: Doesn't feel clean for very long, can actually burn mouth sometimes, not noticeably brighter!

Having tried many toothpastes this is a relative newcomer to the toothpaste market and when it was launched I gave it a go. The box states all the usual, that it helps maintain healthy teeth and gums and prevent any further gum disease etc. I didn't therefore see anything amazingly different from any other toothpastes. I was interested to see however if it did make my teeth "ultrabrite"!!

I loved the actual taste of the toothpaste, it made my mouth taste really clean and I felt initially that it was very thorough. However, you know when you get that feeling that your teeth need cleaning, when they feel like they haven't been brushed in hours. This is how my teeth and mouth felt very shortly afterwards. I actually do still have a tube of this in my bathroom cupboard and have used it on occasion when I am just going out briefly. However, when I leave the house in the morning, or when I go to bed I am much more comfortable using something else like Colgate which leaves me teeth that feel clean for a lot longer.

Finally, I have to mention that my teeth were NO brighter than with any other toothpaste and the overall package makes me think that I would rather pay more for one of the leading brands.
