I was sent 8 products to help me achieve perfect pearly white teeth and here is my reviews on the products.
Step 1: Brush
GUM Technique Plus toothbrush (R57.40)
The GUM Technique toothbrush is designed to provide advanced cleaning with its quad-grip handle designed to allow the recommended 45 degree angle for optimal cleaning. Clinical studies showed a 33% reduction in gingivitis in six weeks. The special non-slip thumb grips are uniquely positioned so that the bristles are effortlessly placed at the angle for optimal below-the-gumline cleaning.
The Dome Trim® bristles are clinically proven to clean below the gumline, where periodontal disease starts, thereby reducing plaque, gingival inflammation and bleeding. The extended SuperTip eliminates plaque from hard to reach places. The ergonomically designed handle provides a comfortable, thicker grip for more effective brushing.
My thoughts on the product:
This by far , has been the best toothbrush I've ever used . I love the size - it's so flexible and gets the work done!. All my life I've always used larger brushes and it was always tough brushing in circular motion as instructed by dentists. I also adore the fact that it comes with a cover-keeps the germs away!.
GUM Original White toothpaste (R52)
(Information obtained from ivohealth.co.za)
The improved formula is scientifically proven to effectively remove stains and help prevent their reappearance, while strengthening gums and teeth.
My thoughts on the product :
Lights,camera,action. Do you want pearly white teeth that would be fit for a Hollywood close up scene?then I think this product is for you. It helps to whiten and brighten teeth , leaving them healthy and fresh. A little amount goes along way and it tastes really refreshing.
STEP 2: CLEAN IN-BETWEEN
GUM Original White floss (R51)
GUM Original White Floss, made with micronized silica, helps remove stains between teeth and provides effective interdental plaque control.
I think this product is fabulous for getting in between your gums. I love the quality of it- the floss is not fragile at all and it does what it claims to do.
GUM Easy Flossers x 30 (R50.31)
GUM Easy Flossers are designed to make between-teeth cleaning simple, fast, and effective by holding the floss at the right tension with an easy-to-grip handle, allowing you to focus on the cleaning action between your teeth, rather than managing the floss around your fingers. Flossing will remove dental plaque from areas between the teeth most commonly missed by tooth brushing alone.
My thoughts on the product :
This product is fantastic for people like me who loves food but always get food stuck in between my teeth while I'm out and about with friends. Its easy to use and convenient with it's travel size case that comes with the floss. It's a handy dandy heaven! I always have this in my handbag - love it to bits!.
GUM Soft-Picks Advanced (R89)
GUM Soft-Picks Advanced are disposable dental picks with soft rubber bristles that gently massage and stimulate gums. GUM Soft-Picks Advanced have a longer and curved-shaped handle to allow you to simply and comfortably clean between back teeth and other hard-to-reach places. These easy-to-use between-teeth cleaners also have a sturdy handle for a controlled grip when cleaning around crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, and orthodontic appliances. The flexible and tapered synthetic rubber bristles fit easily between most teeth, removing dental plaque where gum disease often starts and toothbrushes alone cannot reach. Each package comes with an on-the-go travel case for convenient use anytime, anywhere.
My thoughts on the product :
I have an entire post solely dedicated for this product you can check out my thoughts on it here
GUM Flosbrush Automatic (R104)
This nifty gadget automatically dispenses a measure of shred-resistant floss on an ergonomically designed handle. The used floss is stored in a chamber within the handle, completely separate from the clean floss. The GUM Flosbrush Automatic contains enough floss for 250 uses.
By far , this is my most favourite oral care product. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT - it's versatile , convenient and easy to use. With the regular floss you may injure your fingers by wrapping the floss around too hard , but with this product your hands will thank you!. This is my holy grail item and I think I'm going to forever repurchase it. You get rid of the nasty floss by just a scroll!If you were to purchase anything that I mentioned today , I highly recommend you to try this one out first. You won't be disappointed .
STEP 3 : CLEAN YOUR TONGUE
GUM Tongue Cleaner (recommended retail price R51.35)
(Information obtained from ivohealth.co.za)
GUM Dual Action Tongue Cleaner efficiently removes dental plaque, food debris, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue. One side of the tongue cleaner consists of two rows of bristles that reach into the tiny folds and crevices on the tongue surface to dislodge the dental plaque and debris. The other side of the cleaner consists of two rows of scrapers that remove the loosened plaque and debris for thorough cleaningMy thoughts on the product :
I totally adore the fact that Sunstar Gum came out with a brush for your tongue . This was the first time I've came across something like this and I was impressed. It does exactly what it claims to do. It leaves my tongue fresh , clean and it's so gentle on my tongue- which I love!
STEP 4 : RINSE
GUM Original White mouth rinse (R84.18)
Use the GUM Original White range for naturally white teeth and healthier gums. The improved formula is scientifically proven to effectively remove stains and help prevent their reappearance, while strengthening gums and teeth.
Original White Rinse’s StainClear stain-control solution gently removes stains from tooth surfaces (including the hard-to-reach interdental spaces and microscopic crevices of tooth enamel) while providing a protective coating that prevents stain adhesion and accumulation. The patented combination of Fluoride & Isomalt promotes advanced mineralisation for stronger and shinier teeth. Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E & Allantoin help keep gums firm and healthy.
This makes my breath super fresh at the end of my routine. It has a pleasant taste and has no alcohol which as a muslim , I really appreciate . My teeth feel smoother after a rinse with this- it gives me a reason to smile!
Overall I'm highly impressed with this range and I highly recommend anyone wanting healthier , whiter and fresher teeth to give it a try. You won't be disappointed .I hope y'all enjoyed my review and found it informative. In case you've missed my unboxing video on youtube you can check it out below
