As with anything that claims to make my eyelashes longer, I’m also a sucker for anything that claims to whiten my teeth. I’ve done the whitening strips and even the whitening mouthwash, but both of them made my teeth ache, so I gave up on them. I picked up some Crest 3D Vivid White toothpaste and have used it for over a year, until I switched over to Colgate Optic White just to give it a try.
Whitening: Crest 7 – Colgate 6
Flavor: Crest 8 – Colgate 5
Breath Freshening: Crest 6 – Colgate 7
Price: Crest 6 ($4 for 7.6 0z.) – Colgate 5 ($4-5 for 5.5 oz.)
Final Score: Crest 27 – Colgate 23
Recap: Crest 3D Vivid White is my preferred toothpaste (although I’m always open to new pastes), but I have one quibble–the formula includes these little blue beads that, if I’m not careful, linger on the white porcelain of my sink. Colgate is pure white and that isn’t an issue. However, I have experienced some of my old tooth sensitivity issues with the Colgate, so Crest is the winner.
