Complete oral care. Review on Pepsodent Adv Toothpaste

Whirrrrrrrl whirrrrrrrl. Damn I hate that drilling sound. In fact I am scared of that sound. I almost always land up in fright whenever I have to visit the dentist. If you have visited the dentist, chances are that you remember that sound.

I have very sensitive teeth. My dentist says that the outer layer of my teeth (The Enamel) is very thin and that it gets ruptured even while brushing my teeth. He recommends a very soft toothbrush and highly efficient toothpaste. In the search for the same, I’ve compared many Indian and international toothpastes. I believe, the best test for a good toothpaste is when you don’t eat for a long time and then move your tongue over your teeth, one can find a lot of tartar on them. The most capable toothpaste would give the smoothest feeling of the teeth, as there is less accumulation of unwanted stuff in your mouth.

The two contenders – Colgate total and Pepsodent. The rest, don’t even come close. Be it a toothpaste, which has 3 colours or has oxygen bubbles. The gel ones are out of the question as they basically strive for getting a kiss as one get real fresh breath.

Colgate total is a great toothpaste. It has a very long lasting effect, even hours after brushing, but Pepsodent beats it by atleast 4 extra hours of intensive protection. The proof – 3 years ago, I got 4 cavities filled. A year later, it grew up to a whopping 13 teeth being affected by bacteria. Besides the hole in the pocket, which causes the pain in the heart, the restoration process pains in the mouth too. For days after visiting the dentist too, eating was not as much a pleasure as it was. Only after I got used to the somewhat misaligned teeth (which ought to be after half your tooth is drilled and then filled) could I eat my meals. The very sound of the drilling machine made me postpone my appointment with the doc several times.

Well, excellent brushing does make a difference, but without a good toothpaste, it is no good. After I started using Pepsodent, after 2 years, I only have 2 cavities. Well, a regular and disciplined brushing habit did pay off, but not without the support of Pepsodent.

If you are not using Pepsodent, chances are that you would make a new friend, probably, he is a dentist too.
