Beware of Tooth Care Products

Taking precautions to protect your garments from these products will preserve and protect your wardrobe from permanent stains.

It’s the ying and yang of the world of tooth whitening. If you’re using tooth brightening dental pastes or treatments, use them before you dress in the morning or after you’ve changed when you get in at night. Why? Because these new toothwhitening products are such effective bleaches that when they splatter on to your clothes they can remove the color! What you may see as a tiny white mark that you think will just brush off, is in fact, a colorless spot. That is permanent!

Taking precautions to protect your garments from these products will preserve and protect your wardrobe from the harmful effects of… who would believe it? Toothpaste!
