My dentist found some problems and I ended up getting some major scaling work done on my teeth and gums. This is not a pleasant process by any stretch of the imagination. When I went back for a follow up and some cleaning, my hygienist told me about <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2I8eBGc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spry<\/a> and recommended I stop using my current toothpaste and mouthwash.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"angersentral\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B01N1U2DQH\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"09e8063eadd44a869e60ee5dc6668402\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>She explained that the products we use, such as Colgate, Crest and others use some chemical that drys out the mouth, and that this didn\u2019t help my periodontal problems. Per her recommendation, I bought a tube of Spry toothpaste and mouthwash at Whole Foods, the only store in the area that sells it. As expected, it was a bit pricey.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been using it ever since and now I can recommend it to others. Here is the reason. Last week I went in for a standard cleaning, and a few minutes in, my hygienist said \u201cOh MY GOD!\u201d Needless to say, this is not what you want to hear. I started thinking about bulk buying <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2wQjIIz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Poligrip<\/a> when she clarified what she meant.<\/p>\n<p>She said that she had expected my usual staining on my teeth and some problems with one molar. (Which I expected) Instead there was no staining on my teeth at all, the expected problem with the molar not only wasn\u2019t there, but had actually reversed itself to some extent. The only plaque she found was a few specks in areas I couldn\u2019t reach.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"angersentral\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B00FZNMHZS\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"5528b67a9c970f09d6190e3a848fc06c\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It turns out that an additive into the major brands of toothpaste apparently causes teeth to be stained brown or yellow. For most of us, we would have assumed this was caused by drinking coffee. My hygienist\u2019s research told her that the cause was the additive, and that this started being generally added about 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>So, I would say that this is, at least in my case, pretty definitive. I stopped using my normal brands and went to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=spry&amp;rh=p_85%3A2470955011&amp;dc=&amp;crid=2V3F2YNBBV50C&amp;qid=1582998677&amp;rnid=2470954011&amp;sprefix=spry%2Caps%2C157&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=angersentral&amp;linkId=21be528c32145c2094c2d4cad59797f2&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spry<\/a>. My teeth are now in better shape then they have been in the last 15 years. Granted, I also, per my dentist and hygienist, made some changes in how I maintain my teeth, still, the complete lack of staining made my last cleaning far less uncomfortable then in previous visits. (they didn\u2019t bring out the electric chisel and explosives)<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to go to Whole Foods to buy these products, you can also get them from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=spry&amp;rh=p_85%3A2470955011&amp;dc=&amp;crid=2V3F2YNBBV50C&amp;qid=1582998677&amp;rnid=2470954011&amp;sprefix=spry%2Caps%2C157&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=angersentral&amp;linkId=21be528c32145c2094c2d4cad59797f2&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon.com<\/a>.
