So to get this out of the way: Yes, this toothpaste is not the traditional mint flavor, it's like a weird orange-y citrus flavor.I definitely admit that I didn't like it at first, but I LOVED how clean it made my mouth feel, definitely more than any toothpaste I've ever used.I think this is attributed to it foaming more than most toothpastes.It creates a thicker foam which (according to the box) is supposed to get in between your teeth and clean them better, or something.Whatever it's doing, I can definitely feel it.After using a bunch of the major toothpaste brands out there (Crest, Colgate, Arm & Hammer), AND comparing it to other Aquafresh toothpastes, I'd say this is the most effective toothpaste I've used.To cite a specific example, my teeth feel cleaner after one minute of brushing (with the same toothbrush) than TWO minutes with other toothpastes. (note: yes, I know you're supposed to brush for two minutes+, I'm just using this as a comparison example)Anyway, I've been using it for almost a year now, and I've gotten used to the flavor.I guess if given the choice I'd prefer mint, but I actually don't dislike the flavor anymore, it's fine with me.It's just a preference thing, I'm sure.Some people said this tastes like medicine.I don't agree.Meanwhile, I HATE all cherry flavored candy/soda/actual cherries because I think THOSE taste like medicine.So yeah, it's just dependent on the person.
To address the "dog breath" issue, nothing personal, but I've seen this happen with other toothpastes/flosses/toothbrushes (with myself and family members), and I think it's not the toothpaste's fault, so much as it cleaning out areas of your teeth that perhaps weren't being reached before, and as a result, the smell of the bacteria being unearthed might come to the surface.I dunno, I'm not a dentist, but that's just my guess.
All in all, I'd say if you are interested in trying this toothpaste, check out the travel size section of the drug store; I've seen this toothpaste offered in travel size, so it'd be an easy/low risk way to sample it and decide for yourself.
I just hope they don't discontinue this version, since it seems so many people hate it :(
In all fairness, my teeth do feel clean. But at what price? This tube went straight off the counter into the trash.
You know how some things taste like other things smell?Aquafresh Extreme Clean Whitening tastes like the smell of a combination of turpentine and Vicks VapoRub.(My hubby agreed, saying I nailed the description.)Nasty doesn't begin to describe it.
As some other reviewers have noted, this Aquafresh toothpaste has a terrible taste.To me, it has an acrid chemical taste, like when you're outside and someone covers themselves with bug spray.The first time I used it, I actually grabbed the tube in alarm, confused that perhaps I had picked up something other than toothpaste.On the other hand, it did make my mouth feel extremely clean...but almost numb like how it feels after getting work done at the dentist's office.Even though I didn't brush my teeth any differently than usual, it somehow felt as though the toothpaste reached every possible surface area in my mouth.Again, it was almost alarming.I've never felt so torn about a toothpaste!Will I continue to use it?Yes, for as long as I can without vomiting.Not much to say other than this is a great toothpaste to use.It leaves your whole mouth feeling clean.
