little white truths

Verdict

While this isn't a bad product, it's also not one I would buy - in large part because $20 is far too much to pay for toothpaste, but also because I'm happy to use the standard toothpastes I've always used and I see no obvious benefit to switching to something like this.

It's an odd product that looks a little like putty and it does feel a bit that way in the mouth. It doesn't foam up like standard toothpaste so the product takes some getting used to, plus the taste is quite tart so you may or may not like the sensation of having the stuff in your mouth.

I personally don't mind using it but it's something I still haven't quite adjusted to, so I'm aware of brushing my teeth now because this product feels and tastes so different from the regular stuff that I always notice when I'm using it. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's worth mentioning all the same because I suspect that some people will find it too 'different' and won't like it for that reason.

The tart taste (it's kind of herbal and medicinal at the same time) is also something that hangs around and I'm aware of it for a while after brushing my teeth, whereas normal toothpaste leaves me feeling minty and I soon forget that I've used it. Not with this. Water tastes a little odd for a while after brushing, so this isn't one of those 'invisible' products that you forget about immediately after use. Again, that's not necessarily a bad thing but it's worth mentioning all the same.

Another thing to note is that my tub isn't responding to the summer well and it's all but melted into a thin goo. That doesn't sound particularly appealing (indeed it's not) but I'm certainly glad I've put this into Project Pan 2017 because I can't see it lasting for as long as standard toothpaste before going rancid.

On the claims, it's hard for me to comment on whether this does things like help heal gums, but it does work ok as a toothpaste and my breath doesn't stink so that says something.

An ok product but not one I would buy.
