I have been using Supersmile toothpaste for several years, it works for me since I have a lot of crowns.  But, it is expensive.  I was wondering if anyone has used a drugstore whitening toothpaste that worked for them?

Thanks.

I use SuperSmile and am very pleased with the results. It is pricey. Now, they sell the pre-rinse as a seperate product. My husband uses the pre rinse and regular over the counter toothpaste and is happy with the results. He soes not have the hard to whiten teeth that  I do but it's an option that works for him.

I am not a fan of Super Smile, but I use either Crest 3D White or Colgate Optic White, usually have a coupon for one or the other.

I often use a drugstore toothpaste along with the SuperSmile to make it last longer.  The drugstore paste in the morning when I do a quick brush, then SuperSmile at night when I do a longer brush.

I bought the 2 pack  super size of super smile , and i had used it before , i just don't like the consistancy of the paste , it won't stay on tooth brush and even on your teeth  while you are trying to brush, the price is not an issue for me , but i will not buy again. I have always liked Arm & Hammer whitening paste. Don't get me wrong the Super Smile might be a better whitening, if i didn't have to deal with it falling off toothbrush.

That's what I would do, too. Though I don't use a whitening toothpaste I use the IntelliWhite whitening pens and alternate them with an inexpensive whitening pen as maintenance. Works for me.

I actually don't really care about the whitening aspect.  I use the SuperSmile more because of sensitivity.  That works better for me on sensitivity than the drugstore brands that specialize in it.

But I can manage with once a day since it is pretty pricey.

Thanks @geezerette That's a good idea.

I have sensitive teeth also. I finally found an affordable drugstore toothpaste which has been a godsend. The Colgate Total SF Advanced Whitening. It's formulated with an anti-sensitivity ingredient and it works! The SF stands for stannous fluoride and that is what makes the sensitivity go away. That type of fluoride is better than sodium fluoride which most other brands use and it doesn't work for me.

I like using plain old baking soda a couple times a week because I can't use alot of toothpaste that's on the market.  I wish Beekman 1802 would make a natural toothpaste.
