Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsIt is better than cupboard-based peroxide and baking soda; hint of mint; very foamy.

I've purchased this several times so I thought I'd write a review; it's whitening ability I would only rate as a 2 on a scale of 1 to 5; what is mostly does it sanitize my mouth and make me worry less about any kind of infection. I would not advise gargling with this, since the more you swish it around, the more a gross white foam rises up, but that's because that's what happens when you mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, which are the two primary ingredients here. I follow up using it with pure baking soda as a toothpaste, then swish rinse really aggressively with water, followed by regular toothpaste with my Oral B toothbrush, followed by another thorough rinse with water. I seriously do not want cavities and can't afford to go to a dentist, so this is my homecare dental plan. After years of coffee and tea, I can't say my teeth are white at all but I don't have any cavities and my mouth is healthy.
As I said, I wish the whitening were MUCH stronger. It gets teeth about as white as a normal use of peroxide and baking soda made into a paste would, but this has a bit of minty flavor - very subtle, though - so is a little more user-friendly than trying to swish those two around, especially if you are an easy gagger, which I am.
I started using it during the pandemic and I'll keep on, but maybe add a round of White Strips and see if they work as well as they advertise.
