Buy some quality Australian made toothpaste like Grants or Cedal.Mix on brush a match head size blob of optic pain with a much bigger blob of the good aussie stuff. You could get years of cleaning-your teeth may even whiten without pain. Goodluck and go you good thing.

Im not sure you would have to ask your dentist

Depends on your pain threshold. One advantage is if you have doubts about any teeth that have been treated in the past or may give trouble in the future try a tiny bit of pure optic on them. Mexican chilli thrills.

There is a strange sensation which is moderately uncomfortable after using the whitening pen. I think that the intensity of this feeling will differ with individuals depending on each person's discomfort threshold, so it is difficult to say how much it will affect you. My complaint is that despite the varying levels of discomfort that you may be prepared to put up with, it is essentially for no purpose at all, because it makes no difference to the colour of your teeth, absolutely no difference at all! Some people have claimed on the product review site that it has whitened their teeth, but my experience has been that it made no difference at all. I've thrown my pen and whitening toothpaste in the rubbish because I'm not prepared to put up with the unpleasant taste---which may be called Geographic Tongue, I've not heard this term before.

Hi Anna, No, absolutely not! The condition you mention is harmless. No need to be scared at all. Given the products on the market which are doubtful with regards to health of enamel and separtion, this is a very safe product to use which does produce excellent results.

Thanks for your question Gaye. Based on the description you have provided, it sounds as though you may have purchased parallel imported Colgate toothpastes which are imported to Australia by a third party and not by Colgate. These products are legitimate Colgate toothpastes but may be different in formula and consistency to the Colgate toothpaste varieties that you normally use. We'd be pleased to send some replacement toothpaste of your regular variety for you to use. Please contact our Consumer Information team on 1800 802 307 if you'd like us to arrange this for you.

Hello Gaye, It seems that Colgate have responded to your question, which is just as well because I did not know the answer. My article was about how totally ineffective Colgate's teeth whitening toothpaste and special pen have been, and wanted to warn others not to waste their money on these two products. I see that Colgate are offering you a replacement which is good.

Read the ingredient panel on the tube. That should answer your question.

Hi Smj031, Colgate Optic White Luminous Mint Toothpaste contains 1000ppm of Fluoride. We hope this answers your question.
