Reach Total Care Plus Whitening toothbrush review and giveaway



As I mentioned previously, I have wedding on the brain.  In about one month, I'll be walking down the aisle... not as a bride, but as a bridesmaid!  I am so thankful the dress is elegant and not poofy and hideous.  But thinking ahead to the wedding inherently brings to mind pictures. Lots of pictures.  As in me wanting the best smile possible for all of those photos.  Photos aside, I'll be seeing family and friends I haven't seen and years and I want to look my best.

I was graciously provided with an assortment of dental hygiene products, including the Reach Total Care Plus Whitening tooth brush.  What I liked about this toothbrush was the way it hugged my teeth, especially those hard to clean back molars.  It had a no-slip grip that made me feel confident in being able to hold on the toothbrush while vigorously brushing.  As a hand-held toothbrush, I liked the look and feel of it and felt that it did a good job cleaning my teeth.  Did I mention that I loved the way it hugged both sides of my teeth when I brushed the back molars? The CaCO3 micrawhitening technology also means that using the toothbrush will help remove stains.  I drink a lot of soda, so that's welcome news to me.

I was also sent samples of Rembrandt's 'Deeply White' Collection.  I received both the Winter Mint and Fresh Mint flavors to try, though I liked the Fresh Mint better.  Each of these include peroxide for whitening and also help restore enamel.

Reach Total Care Plus Whitening floss was also included in the samples sent.  I guess I never really considered that between your teeth could use some whitening help too.  If you're already using whitening toothpastes, why not use a whitening floss too to ensure complete whitening?

I haven't yet had the chance to try the Rembrandt Whitening Strips just yet, but thankfully I still have time before the wedding.

Win it!

One lucky Making Ends Meet reader will win an assortment of awesome dental hygiene items similar to the ones that I received.

Wow, I have had more than my fair share of dental problems, but taking good care of my teeth and making them the best that they can be is very important.

I worked in dentisrty for 18 years before I change careers from a dental assistant to massage therapy. I am often complimented on how nice my smile is, but it is because I really pay attention to it. It has become the part of me that I like the best so a bright, white and healthy smile is always a priority for me.

Having a bright and white smile is important because its one of the first things people see when they first met you (see you). When a persons teeth are in good shape, its a good sign that they take good care of themselves.

Having a bright white smile means a lot to me. I think it makes you look healthier and prettier. There is one person at work who doesn't have good dental hygeine and everyone always talks about how yellow their teeth are - I never want that to be me!
