Review on Colgate Whitening Toothpaste Breath Strips Oral Care by Daniel Bates

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Contains plastic strips that get stuck in the gums.

Breathing strips are actually small squares of plastic that get stuck in the gums. I learned this the hard way. I had swelling around the gums on one of my teeth and went to the dentist. And so he pulled out a square "breath strip," which he said was actually a piece of plastic that could damage your teeth and gums. Stay away. Supposedly they're going to phase this thing out in the next few years, but I'll never buy that company junk toothpaste again. I thought this thing was supposed to help you stay away from the dentist, not send you there. All of this is one big marketing scheme to deceive consumers. From now on I will try natural things like toms. It's garbage. It also turns out that the cross does the same. Do a Google search and you'll find numerous news reports showing that many toothpaste manufacturers include small beads of plastic (polyethylene) in many of their brands that get stuck in your gums. They placed it there to make it look nice and colorful. What are shadow business practices.

Pros
  • Fights tooth decay
Cons
  • Only available in white
