why is it better than regular toothpaste?

Without posting a bunch of links to research, I would break it down into this: Most regular toothpaste have artificial sweeteners, flouride (which I have read can be harmful over time, and a bunch of other questionable chemical creations. On Guard has simple natural ingredients, with pure essential oils, which kill harmful bacteria, and are even good at fighting illness, through ingestion, topical contact and inhalation. On Guard is also sweetened with xylitol, made from birch trees, which has also proven to inhibit bacteria growth. (By the way, xylitol is also a great sugar substitute, being good for your teeth.)

I have veneers on several of my front teeth and they started to get a bit darker over the years, so I tried this toothpaste....I would say the toothpaste helps, but you have to be faithful using it daily. It doesn't happen right away, but I can now see an improvement. I think it's worth giving it a try. Nothing else worked for me.

Flouride has proven to help teeth, though it is not good for other body parts.Some people might have a reaction to fluoride with their gums, so they SHOULD use another type of toothpaste, such as a Baking Soda paste.However, they might need to brush 3 times per day, compared with someone who only brushes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.Compared to those of us who may skip brushing every other day, anybody might have better results.ONLY YOUR DENTIST KNOWS FOR SURE, Shirley.

I don't know the direct answer but I find, from everyday experience, that the glycerite has a smoother taste that disperses so much better. It goes further, lasts longer, and I believe glycerine is also good for your health generally.

Not sure? I started using a children's toothbrush, but now use my electric toothbrush. May just be a sales gimmick? But the toothpaste is awesome!

since you asked i compared it with other toothpastes i have in the house. opalescence has .25%w/v which is about the same as in colgate total and kid's crest. sensodyne has less (.15%w/v).

I've never seen a toothpaste that was as fluid as liquid soap. No, I would buy a toothpaste dispenser, just to be on the safe side.

I actually prefer to use it with an electric toothbrush, mainly because it's easier to make sure you get all the powder off the brush when you're done (assuming you leave the brush on for the rinse). Either way, you'll probably want to make a little paste with it by adding water, otherwise it's just a fat mess.

It is certainly easier. Not sure that it is as efficacious. Only time will tell. My gums are not in a very good state, so I have started off behind the eight ball in regards to healing them. So far, after using the powder for 2 weeks, I cannot see any difference in them. I am also using vitamins, oil pulling with wild oregano oil, spearmint and golden seal to swish with.

I've actually owned both of them and the more expensive one is much more effective at cleaning your teeth. You get what you pay for in this case? The batteries do run down quickly on the cheaper version. I usually carry the cheaper version on vacation so that I don't have to bring my charger for my more expensive toothbrush. It's more convenient. :)

It's personal preference. I find that the day white is stronger than the night white which could be because day white has a shorter processing time. I only use the whitening for a week after I visit the dentist twice a year

Potentially, as it would clean off the bacteria, I imagine it could help gum & tooth illness? However, my dogs wouldn't lick the stuff, so I can't answer with authority. We get our small dog's teeth cleaned ultrasonically (no anesthesia) every three months, and it makes a big difference in her breath. We also like a vanilla mint toothpaste (rarely use it, but when we do, the clean scent remains a good 12 hours minimum). The toothpaste is "enzymatic" and is called C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste.

Doesn't whiten but does a much better better job cleaning than a regular toothbrush. I have been using th for years and love them

I was not aware of the two versions until just now. However, I used the regular one. I have pretty sensitive teeth and did not experience any problems whatsoever. Now that I know about the speed whitening product, I will try that one and post my comments shortly thereafter. I am very pleased with the results I have achieved with the regular version. Saw results after one use. I used it the first time for 20 minutes. I used it every day for two weeks, and then continued to use it for about 3 times a week after that. I have recommended it everyone!

Yes. However, sometimes you have to clean out between the bristles and the center piece. After a while not all of the toothpaste is rinsed out or used. I just use my clean fingers to do that job. BTW this is our second Ultero. My husband was one of the testers befoer it was released to the public. Even if you skip a day it keeps you teeth in very good health. We also use some mouthwash occasionally. Hope this helps with your enjoyment of your purchase.

This product is thinner than toothpaste. I tried using it as toothpaste, but I quickly abandoned that effort. It's better used as a tongue gel. Toothpaste has more substance to it.

Yes. The actual product is less viscous(read runnier) than a standard toothpaste.
