Dental Woes

This year, I started taking really good care of my teeth. I would try to brush after every meal (when I was home) and before bed. After each brushing, I would use a fluoride rinse (Act) for preventing cavities once a day, and Crest Pro Health Rinse for the rest of the brushing sessions.

But somehow, my teeth were looking worse and worse. Kiwi started noticing it about 3 months ago. There were brown stains developing at the sides of my teeth near the gums, where apparently my toothbrush could not reach.

I kept on with the brushing and rinsing and flossing, but somehow my teeth were still brown. I finally googled. And found out that people have been complaining about the same problem. Apparently because they've all been using Crest Pro Health.

I am really, really, upset at this. How can this happen? Mouth rinses are supposed to protect your teeth, not make your mouth look like you've been eating shit. I am stopping its use right now. Too bad I actually have a full 1 litre bottle of Crest Pro Health sitting in my bathroom cupboard. I also have a full, unopened tube of Crest Pro Health toothpaste I bought to try after I was done with my current Colgate toothpaste.

I think I will have to throw these out. I can't give it to someone. Then someone else will have ugly teeth. ARGH!
