i recently saw somewhere online that they advise snus users to use a teeth whitening tooth paste. i always have anyways, but i was wondering do you guys use it to? if not, do you notice a difference snus makes on your teeth? i'm curious.
teeth whitening toothpaste - do you guys use it?

I used Longhorn for about 3 months. The dentist had a fit. Then I started using snus. Probe, among some others, was a real problem. Well, I read in Consumer Reports that one of the best whitening toothpaste was Ultrabrite. It costs about $1 at Family Dollar or Dollar General. I used it only at night and got rid of all my stains. It works much better than the $3 tubes of other better known brands.

I find it helps keep staining at bay along with regular scale/polishes at the dentist. Was recommended to me on here.

I don't. Mainly because I haven't been totally convinced about the effectiveness.
Some of the research that I've seen suggests there that it may only be effective to keep your teeth white after some other whitening procedure, while other suggest it is more effective than normal toothpaste at removing surface stains
If your teeth are white already it may be good at removing extrinsic stains. If your teeth have intrinsic stains (as a lot of ex-smokers do) then it won't make much difference.
I'd rather suggest purchasing a Sonicare toothbrush. I bought one a year ago and I haven't looked back. No problems with staining and it prevents you from brushing too hard (which can lead to gum recession).
Also as mwood72 said, a regular visit to the dentist and a quarterly clean by a dental hygienist should do the trick.

Originally posted by snusjusI can attest to that recommendation as well. My teeth are always white, even after using snus all day. However, even the lower end models cost over $100.00
I think there are quite a few people here on the forum who are addicted to their Sonicare
I agree that they are very expensive but to me its the Icetool of the toothbrush world. You can get along without it but once you own one you don't ever want to part with it...
