My 30-something mom had a field day buying new products in the 1950s. Frozen waffles to fish sticks; bright green bar soap to toothpaste promoted with a catchy jingle: “You’ll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with…(rhymes with went).” Smoking was cool back then, even if it stained your teeth.
Turns out, we shouldn’t have cleansed our faces with harsh perfumed soap. And, the ingredients in the popular toothpaste did as little to diminish yellowing as the fish sticks did to stimulate our taste buds.
Didn’t matter that brands made outlandish claims back then. After World War II, consumers flocked to novel and convenient products dressed in jazzy packaging, and romanticized on the little screen in millions of living rooms. That’s what sold them.
Convenience still matters today, but when a product doesn’t deliver on its claims, it’s off to the graveyard. With dozens of formulas in 2024 promising to whiten our teeth, you can absolutely count on one called Smileactives® to perform brilliantly. I do! No jingles necessary.
I safely and efficiently use Smileactives at home. This super duper Pro Whitening Gel works with my regular toothpaste, so it doesn’t affect my brushing routine one iota. More on this powerful treatment in a moment.
My dental hygienist removes plaque buildup in my mouth a few times a year, which helps prevent gum disease. Although the final step of her routine is brushing with a fancy piece of equipment, it never diminished the yellow tinge on my teeth. I love all shades of yellow, at least in my wardrobe, and on daisies and sunflowers. But it’s never a good look on teeth.
YELLOW TEETH ARE MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK
Fact is, a substance called dentin – sandwiched between a tooth’s enamel outside and its pulp inside – gives most of us naturally yellow teeth. Dentin is made of minerals, an organic compound, and water, and can actually be gray or black, but is usually pale yellow. The translucent enamel that lays on top of the dentin exposes its color.(1)
If your enamel is especially thin or translucent, due to good old genetics, your teeth will look even yellower. Enamel can also thin over time, and become stained from factors including smoking, and pigments in substances such as coffee, tea, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and dark-colored fruits and sodas.
My teeth and gums became sensitized when I tried whitening strips two decades ago. Using them also became a vicious cycle. They’d whiten my teeth, but increase their sensitivity, so I’d stop using them. No surprise, my teeth would become yellow again!
Fortunately, beauty science has made big strides since then. Thanks to sophisticated technologies, we can rejuvenate skin, beautifully color hair, and whiten teeth – right at home – without irritating our scalp, face or gums.
Whiter, brighter teeth in just seven days – with routine brushing
Choosing the best of the countless brands on the market, however, can be challenging. My due diligence involved checking out the science behind numerous formulas, their active ingredients, and how they work to eliminate discoloration.
Smileactives impressed me on all fronts. Its active ingredient is the same as the one dentists use to whiten teeth. And, its proprietary Polyclean® Technology creates a fine foam that gently penetrates the enamel to whiten the whole tooth – back, front and top – and gets into all grooves and crannies. It also lifts and removes stains on dental work including crowns, veneers, and dentures.
MORE TO MAKE YOU SMILE
I especially liked that I could use Smileactives with my regular toothpaste – fluoride or non-fluoride – every time I brush. I wouldn’t need strips or trays. My regular brushing schedule wouldn’t take a second longer. And, my teeth and gums wouldn’t feel sensitive*.
To prove its claims, Smileactives performed a clinical study of 52 users, whose teeth became up to five shades whiter in only seven days. After 14 days, participants’ teeth became up to eight shades whiter. Those are mighty impressive results.**
My teeth have never been whiter since I started treating them to Smileactives about seven months ago. See for yourself.
I also started using Smileactives Tartar Control Fluoride Toothpaste, which is packed with cutting-edge, good-for-you ingredients, including amino acids, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. It’s formulated to fight cavities like Smileactives Pro Whitening Gel fights discoloration.
Besides its quality formula and advanced technology, Smileactives was developed by the same biochemist who invented the one-hour, light-activated tooth-whitening process. So you can be sure it’s the real deal when it comes to teeth whitening.
By the way, the American Dental Association recommends brushing for two minutes twice a day, and using soft bristles to minimize the risk of gum abrasions. Either manual or powered toothbrushes can be effective, but make sure to replace toothbrushes every three months – or more – to avoid brushing with frayed or matted bristles.
Smileactives is so confident you’ll love its Pro Whitening Gel, it invites you to use it for 60 days, and if you’re not beaming from ear to ear, return the tube – EVEN EMPTY – for a full refund, less s&h!
There’s more to make you smile. Buy one tube of Smileactives and get the second tube as a thank you gift with your introductory order, a $29.95 value!
