I think White Glo toothpaste messed up my teeth

[Ockie]

Bought White Glo about two or three weeks ago and have been using it since. I am a smoker and a frequent consumer of red wine (ja ja....I know...but I am not interested in the "well...if you gonna do that then accept the consequences" crap)

Anyway....started using it to try and get rid ... Or at least lighten the stains. It is mostly on the sides of my back teeth so not that visible to others....but it bugs me.

Anyway....my teeth are now sensitive as FCK!!!! Specially the one sides back teeth. When I am not brushing it is ok....sometimes when I eat or drink something cold I get a slight shooting pain...but when I brush and the tooth brush hits certain teeth I want to K@k myself.

I have used Clynomyn tooth paste before and it would cause slight sensitivity after a few days but then that would go away...even with continued use....but NOTHING like this.

I have now stopped using the White Glo paste and bought Sensodyne Rapid Relief and also Sensodyne Repair and Protect. I hope this solves. I have no fillings and have all my teeth which I am rather proud of.

Anyway.....if any of you are thinking of getting White Glo....just take this into consideration ....it could turn every brushing event into a torturous experience.

Or


Maybe I was just unlucky.

Oh...and as a side note....stains are unchanged....so now my teeth are sensitive as fck and still stained.

Use Aquafresh with a little bicarb to whiten the teeth, then use Sensodyne to seal the cavities in the teeth before the sensitivity hits.

It is OK okie you don't need teeth to give a man a blowey, you should be oK

Maybe consider seeing an oral hygienist regularly (every few months) and let them clean your teeth properly, polish some of the stain away etc. rather than using toothpastes that don't gel with your teeth.

Won't false teeth save him more in the long run?

Oral hygienist isn't really expensive 2 or 3 times a year.

Always be careful of what you put into your mouth.

For those of us who have no enamel left on our teeth, the whitening products or other remedies will do nothing good.

I don't have obvious stains but my teeth are bone white or to be honest, pretty yellow.
I can only get it closer to white by using Listerine and rinsing with water/chewing gum after drinking coffee.
It can be perfectly clean and smooth but it's still going to be yellow.

Actual enamel regrowing (not the claimed remineralisation) might hit the market one day.

Can we please leave the bitchyness and sarcasm to the gays? It is kinda our thing and trademark. Thanks.

Should we look at African science for a solution?

Tend to agree - any toothpaste with some whitening feature in it tends to mess up mine. Now only buy toothpaste without any whitening functionality.

Make your own toothpaste using coconut oil (the expensive not cheap kak), bicarb and peppermint essential oil.

Go to the dentist and pay the R2000 for a custom mold of your teeth and get the gel.You sleep with it every night.
It works within days, but ya the sensitivity is always an issue.I used to keep sensodyne in my car because thats how sensitive it got,literally used to eat toothpaste just to relieve the pain.I wont do it again unless im in a photoshoot.

Ockie, don't use these surface whitening pastes. They take away from your surface dentine on the necks of your teeth and leave open dentine tubules. Leave your teeth alone for a while. They will desensitise themselves. You can speed up the desensitisation with sensodyne or some such. When they feel better in a few months go and get your fangs polished at an oral hygienist.

Pro tip: wine is acidic. Don't brush ur teeth within an hour after drinking wine. The tooth minerals are softened and u will keep brushing more and more tooth away each time. So brush before wine. Mouthwash before bed.
