Brighten your smile with Colgate Max White

As much as I would like to deny it, I don’t exactly have the best teeth in the world and my smile certainly wouldn’t blind anyone. The thing is, the cost of a professional whitening is miles out of my budget. Even the little home kits are fairly pricey.

The other drawback to the home kits is the time factor. Between working, taking care of the kids, trying to tame the household mess, walking the dog, and other frivolous things like sleep, I just don’t have the time that some of those kits require. I suppose I could fill one of those tray things up and watch TV but honestly when the evening rolls around and the kids are in bed I’m usually so fried that I don’t want to HAVE to do a darn thing.

Enter Colgate Max White. This toothpaste doesn’t promise to give you movie star teeth, but it will indeed help you out. While my teeth are not dazzling and sparkling, Max White has helped clear away the surface stains that have been caused by my obligatory two cups of coffee every morning. I also drink tea several evenings per week and enjoy a glass or two of red wine from time to time, so over time they had all conspired to dull my teeth down a few notches. After using Max White religiously for a few weeks, I was definitely able to see a difference. I also noticed that my teeth felt incredibly smooth in comparison to regular brushing. They felt almost as smooth as they do after a professional cleaning at the dentist (almost!).

As an added bonus, the minty flavor is extremely refreshing and lingers. Most toothpastes seem to wear off quickly, but Max White kept my mouth tingly and minty for as long as I avoided eating or drinking.

I’ve already recommended it to a couple of friends and I do the same to you. Colgate Max White isn’t going to solve all your dental issues, but it will help brighten your teeth enough to stop feeling shy about flashing your smile. You can pick it up for just over $3 in most stores.
