Smile Pretty: Supersmile Mandarin Mint Professional Whitening Toothpaste

Colgate and Crest, I love you, but I'm pretty sure you've been replaced. I'm sure if you met Supersmile Mandarin Mint Professional Whitening Toothpaste, you'd understand.

For starters, it lifts surface stains (think coffee, tea, tobacco and red wine), thanks to Calprox®. It also maintains and enhances the vibrancy of professionally bleached teeth -- not something I have, but good to know nonetheless. It fights cavities with fluoride, and it's even kosher (not that I need my toothpaste to be kosher, but it can't hurt).

Plus, it tastes fantastic. I expected the toothpaste to taste pretty weird -- much like brushing your teeth right after eating an orange -- but instead, it just has a hint of citrus that actually leaves breath smelling unbelievably fresh.

And my favorite feature? It restores bonds to their natural whiteness! As I've got a bond on my front tooth (an unfortunate run-in with a movie theater seat at age 7 left me with a chipped tooth!), I'm unable to whiten my teeth -- but it's good to know my bond will look as white as ever thanks to this toothpaste.
