  • I use Rembrandt - costs €8.90 for a standard tube, compared with €1.19 for the standard brands, but it is miles better (or do I mean smiles better:rolleyes: )
    I am also a smoker who used rembrant for a year. The result was very sensitive teeth. The dentist advised me to stop using it and now I can only use sensodyne. So be careful.

    Thanks for that - I've been using it for a few years now, following a couple of surgery whitening sessions (also Rembrandt), and haven't noticed any adverse affects so far, but will certainly keep an eye out!
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.
