Colgate Tooth Powder | 100g (3.53 Ounce)

My mom is blind and prefers this toothpaste over liquid toothpaste.If you’re going to travel or you do a lot of red eye travel this is great to take with you so you can brush your teeth on a trip. Powders don’t get blocked with the TSA. Also it takes up such little space.

I love this so much. I adore every single thing about this old timey product.I have been on the hunt for effective toothpowder... or paste... which does the job, and does NOT taste like spearmint. I cannot stand mint flavors and most toothpaste are very intense and harsh to me. I got to the point where I literally couldn’t stand it anymore, and stopped brushing altogether.But... then I realized that wasn’t the best way to deal with it.So... i tried many pastes and powders over the last two years... most of them ultra expensive and no fluoride, etc. Toothpowder's with clay. Toothpowders with xylitol, etc. I wasn’t very impressed with ANY of them.Imagine my surprise when I found OLD FASHIONED Colgate tooth powder on amazon! For pennies!I remembered this stuff from waaay back!I ordered it, recieved it, tasted it ...and never looked back.I was suspicious of fluoride before buying this, but this tastes so wonderful that I don’t care. My teeth feel clean as whistle. It’s very satyisfing to brush with tooth powder, and especially this one. It’s the very best I’ve used.The flavor is WINTERGREEN which, for your information, is not actually a mint (wintergreen is a plant...but it is not in the mint plant family. Look it up).It tastes exactly like white lifesavers, which are my favorite flavored candy since childhood.The flavor is full, but mild in your mouth. No burning or tearing up...like you’ve eaten wasabi ...as you brush. It smells more intense than it tastes.The bottles last FOREVER. These are such an incredibly great deal. I bought my powder about 5 months ago! And I use a lot in my mouth. It’s still got about half left in it.Love. It’s a wonderful relief to find a way to brush my teeth where I can actually ENJOY the process.

Works better than regular toothpaste, I'm not not confident in the fluoride type & quantity however

Pros- Might be the best tasting toothpaste I've used.- Not gritty like I was expecting.- Fluorinated, which is rare in tooth powders.- Cheapest toothpowder I could find.- According to calculations I've seen for other tooth powders the 100g should last 6 months at 2 washes a day. Which means if you buy the 200g 2 pack, one person can brush their teeth for 2 years for about $13 or $6.50/year.- Bottle looks so cute and vintage.- Bottle can be recycled curbside.Cons- Bottle is impossible to open without tools. I used a wine bottle opener to poke holes in the plastic lid, which was enough to move power to an old medicine bottle that I dip my toothbrush into.- The tin comes wrapped in plastic, which is so silly, it will dent in shipping, but it's steel, it's not going to puncture.

It’s great tooth powder like I used in the fifties. But please, tell me how do you open this? You lift the hinged top, but there is no way to get the powder out! I had to hammer in an awl to open a hole. Please look into this problem.

My family used Pepsodent tooth powder when I was a kid. I used to love it. I have never seen it since. I thought I'd try this brand to see if I liked it. I like the flavor and the grit a lot. It tastes similar to Pepsodent. Wintergreen flavor, something like a wintergreen LifeSaver as someone pointed out. I really like that it is a powder instead of the usual paste. Powder does not create foam in your mouth so you don't have it overflowing down your chin. Much cleaner. It cleans the teeth just as well as a paste and leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth. You need a minimal amount so it is more economical than paste. I am glad I tried it.One thing I don't like, which many reviewers complained about, is the terribly designed plastic cap. I deducted two stars for this. First of all I think it should be metal like the can, with an easy to remove sanitary plastic seal around it when new. Instead it is all plastic. And here's the problem. It has a flip-top cap on top of a larger fixed cap, force fitted to the metal spout of the can. The fixed cap has a small hole with a collar around it for pouring, with a thick plastic plug at the bottom of the cap that is molded in place. It is almost impossible to pierce it without incurring serious injury because it is so thick. Many people gave up and some stuck a heated pointed object into it to pierce it, making a mess. That didn't satisfy me. I managed to get the base cap off by screwing it counterclockwise while forcing it upward. I then drilled out the hole with a 5/16" bit in a speed-controlled electric hand drill at slow speed, resting the cap against a block of wood. The bit was an exact fit and the hole came out pretty clean. Forcing the cap back onto the spout, it looked fairly professional. See pictures for details. No one should have to go to this length to open a can of tooth powder. It is ridiculous. Very poor design that is potentially dangerous. Another thing is, the flip-top cap doesn't close tightly. It lifts up with a feather touch. Not what you want with a powder.There are a lot of complaints about the can being beyond the expiration date but they are probably by people who didn't read the back label on the can. The label reads:"EXPIRY 24 MONTHS FROM MFD.""MFD. MONTH, YEAR & B. NO. SEE BOTTOM"The date on the bottom of the can is "10-20 B31," meaning that the MFD. (Manufacturing Date) is 10-31-2020, I think, and the expiry date is 24 months LATER, on 10-31-2022. See pictures for details.

I read about the difficulty in opening, but wanted to try it anyway. It was actually quite easy to open. Once I flipped the round lid and say the hole, I simple used a nail to tap it open. Sure they did not give any instructions. But, come on. What did you think the little hole was for? I just did not want another little jar on my counter. Tastes great. Leaves mouth feeling clean. Glad I bought and ignored "hard to open" reviews
