It's called prophy paste, and it's used to polish the teeth.
I (or my hygienists) tend to use it at every check-up appointment, and all round the mouth, not just the front few.
But then, I'm probably charging more!!
All it's done is to remove tea/coffee/wine (Hopefully not tobacco) stains. It's not magically made the teeth whiter.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
I can't remember what it's called, but theres a smokers toothpaste in a flat tub in powder form that is sold in most chemists. That might be similar."On behalf of teachers, I'd like to dedicate this award to Michael Gove and I mean dedicate in the Anglo Saxon sense which means insert roughly into the anus of."

Brilliant, cheers.
I'm not a smoker (never have been, never will be) so it was food/drink staining. He did only apply it to the front four teeth - there are some threads on whitening ones teeth but I'm not really bothered - I was simply surprised at the difference!
On a slightly different subject, what are your views on Fluoride in toothpaste? I was in a health shop today and was given a scare story about how fluoride is harmful :rolleyes: I noticed in Tesco today that all the toothpaste I checked contained Fluoride...0 -

Do you mean EUCRYL? Tub about 3" across and 0.75" deep, green printing on lid? I used to use it every so often and it did make my teeth feel very clean and shiny.0 -

You might not be as old as me! When I was a teenager there was a stuff called pearl drops, sold in the toothpaste isle in a little upside down bottle that was to make your teeth shine.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
