Colgate Wisp

#1 Post by JillD »

I bought a pack but haven't tried yet. Since I began to wear retainers 24/7, I need to brush my teeth every time I eat. (While I was wearing braces, I often got by without brushing every time I ate.) Anyway has anyone tried Wisp? I just cannot imagine swallowing the liquid after I brush with it. I think I will use it only when brushing is not possible. Better than nothing, you know.

I've used them for years. I use them periodically. Often, I find a good rinse and use of a Christmas Tree brush works well. If I want to freshen up a bit more, the Wisp is my choice.

I love them as a freshmen... Not so much for really cleaning, though.

I don't like this much either...just some hard plastic with a mint in the middle?

Bought some recently after breaking my purse toothbrush. I found it yucky-tasting and it didn't get between the wires and my teeth very well. It was probably better than nothing.

I used it on a camping field trip a couple of years back. If you don't have anything, it's fine, it even has a pick on the back! However, it's more for freshening up in between brushing. If you're vegetarian or vegan, be warned, it contains gelatin!
Sentence:
28 months in full upper and lower braces, open coil spring for additional alignment space for permanent teeth to erupt, elastics to align back bite, bite turbos, and palate expander.
