If you’re like most Americans, you’ve been using one of Colgate’s or Crest’s countless toothpaste variations for as long as you can remember. But you still get cavities, your gums bleed when you floss, and your teeth never look as white as promised.

So what gives?

The truth is, we’ve been taught to trust toothpaste that doesn’t actually improve oral health. Despite their fancy names like “3D Whitening Brilliance Blast” and “Pro-Health Advanced”, these products aren’t formulated to address the real causes of cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.

It's true -- I've always hated going to the dentist. Everything about it just made me cringe. 

So when I went for my first teeth whitening session a while back, needless to say I was less than excited. But my umpteen-cup-a-day coffee habit had steadily turned my pearly whites into a dull gray. I had to do something. 

A few minutes later, there I was, laying back in that goofy little recliner, a 100,000 watt light glaring just inches from my nose, eyes wide and hands shaking, as the dentist slid in the thingy packed with the bleach whitening peroxide solution.

HOOOOOLY CRAP! I thought I was going to go through the ceiling. The pain was so severe, like nothing else I had ever felt.
