Every toothpaste you pick up promises at least two things: fresh breath and white teeth. Because nobody wants to see you smile with a mouth full of piss yellow teeth. You might think white teeth are attractive, but as far as being natural, theyre the dental equivalent of fake breasts. Thats right the natural color of human teeth is yellow. Sure, staining them with coffee or cigarettes makes them darker, as does not brushing often enough, or smoking meth. But the pinnacle of oral health doesnt make your mouth look like Brad Pitts either. (By the way his teeth are fake. The company I work for made them.) In fact your desperate attempts to scrub your teeth white can actually damage them. Stiff toothbrushes are abrasive and weaken teeth by stripping off the enamel. On top of that, whitening toothpaste brands are mostly bullshit. If you cough up the dough to get your teeth professionally whitened, theyll bleach the enamel, which also damages them. So despite TV commercials insisting that healthy teeth should be as white and polished as a stormtroopers crotch plate the whole gleaming white teeth thing is one of those cultural beauty standards.
