I use the whitening crest mouthwash occasionally at night instead of the complete care. I brush my teeth once or twice per day and rinse with crest complete care two times per day.

It's not just what it does to your teeth. Now I just drink water and very rarely, fruit juice. I even gave up my Diet Coke because I don't think it helps. I quit drinking soda because I'm fat!
