There are so many toothpastes out there that it is often
confusing knowing which brand, which flavor, or which type
(i.e., gel, paste, tube or pump).
Over the years I have tried Close-Up many times, using the
tube until it was gone, then going back to my main choice,
Crest. I was brought up using Crest, and even though the
other brands are just as good, and taste great, I have
never found another brand to really replace my mainstay.
Close-Up toothpaste comes in a paste, gel, and with
whitening agents. If you prefer the feel of a paste, or
of a gel, you will enjoy using Close-Up.
The paste is smooth and spreads well on your toothbrush. A
small amount will work very well and your mouth will feel
clean and fresh, even kind of tingly after it’s use.
I have tried the gel once - it is thicker than the paste
and does cling well to the brush, but using a gel has
never been my preference. It seems like you need to brush
harder or longer to get the gel to totally ’’dissolve’’ and
to not have little pieces of gel sticking to your teeth.
The paste seems to rinse out quicker and easier than the
gel.
The flavor is pleasant leaving a cool, minty taste in your
mouth. You definitely do feel that you have fresh breath
after using Close-Up!
Give it a try - You may find yourself switching brands
for good! :o)
