Disclosure: This post was sponsored by ARM & HAMMER™ Oral Care as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.



The gel itself in the tube is a little thicker than toothpastes that I have experienced with Crest and Colgate, and I was actually rather relieved to not find any of the breath-freshening strips in this product. Recent research has shown that those flakes cause more harm than good, so again, I am extremely happy with this noted fact.

ARM & HAMMER™ Truly Radiant™ Clean & Fresh Toothpaste was a -unique- experience like any other. Arm and Hammer products have been known -and passed down as old wive's tales in my family- as a go-to cleaning agent for the toughest stains and best cleaning experience.

The application is easy, just as any toothpaste and actually sticks to the brush better than my Colgate toothpaste. 

While brushing, I can feel the gentle burn from the attacked bacteria and it honestly has felt like I am in a dentist's office while brushing. The sensation along my tongue doesn't burn as much as Crest does, and it about as gentle as Colgate. Though, I can almost feel my teeth becoming cleaner with each brush.

The only thing that I did not like about Arm and Hammer 's Truly Radiant Clean & Fresh Toothpaste was the after feeling on my teeth, it felt like I had a layer of fake plastic on each time I brushed, almost like it dried out the capability of saliva only around my teeth. This feeling usually subsided for me within about 5 minutes after brushing, but it was still enough worth noting.

As far as the whiteness of my teeth, I have noticed a slightly better result -faster- than with Crest, and it has proven much more efficient than Colgate. 

The last notable cause from this toothpaste was along with whiter teeth, the downside caused a noticeable more sensitive feel to my teeth, cold beverage were much more painful. Though, I cannot be sure if this is note-worthy to the "strengthen enamel" or not, but that aspect seemed a bit on the weaker side. 

SPIN BRUSH

*4/5*

The included spin brush had several claims to offer including:
- Dual-action brush head helps clean and polish teeth

- Removes more plaque in hard-to-reach areas than a manual brush does

- Special floss-tip bristles get deep between teeth

I did not find much of a difference with the alleged "special floss-tip bristles" as they didn't seem to get any deeper than a normal toothbrush would. The length in the bristles didn't show to be any different while brushing.

I did feel like I was able to reach more of my mouth and easily maneuver around my teeth more so than a normal brush would allow. I believe a lot of this was due to the tip of the brush being round instead of pointed or squared.

It did feel like the dual-action brush head cleaned my teeth much more effectively than a manual brush would so I was quite pleased. 

The motorization in this brush is quite powerful and seems to take quite a while to wear (as mine has not worn out yet!)

There are two things I wish that I could have seen in this brush to make it better.
I would have liked to have an actual rubberized grip on the toothbrush for better handling and I would have liked better to have a top offered with the brush to cover the bristles effectively while not in use.
