Review: Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant Toothpaste, Mouthwash, and Toothbrush

I was given the opportunity by Smiley360 and Arm and Hammer to test out their new #TrulyRadiant oral health care line promising a whiter smile in just 5 days. They sent me an oral health kit with a Truly Radiant Whitening and Strengthening Fluoride Rinse, Spinbrush Truly Radiant Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush, and Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste to test and keep.

This review post will talk about my results and my honest opinion on how well these 3 products performed after using it for 7 days.  I included swatch photos with before and after shots of my teeth to show my results.

"NEW ARM & HAMMER™ Truly Radiant™ Rejuvenating Toothpaste does much more than just whiten, it goes beyond the surface to strengthen, clean and repair tooth enamel for a radiant smile in just 5 days and the Spinbrush™ Truly Radiant™ Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush is the only manual toothbrush that features a rotating head, plus elongated, all-access bristles that get deep in-between teeth to help blast away plaque. Truly Radiant™ Whitening & Strengthening Fluoride Rinse is the first and only rinse that whitens teeth, strengthens enamel and prevents stains without alcohol or peroxide." -- Arm and Hammer

Truly Radiant Whitening and Strengthening Fluoride Rinse

Truly Radiant Whitening and Strengthening Fluoride Rinse

Advertised Benefits:

• Get a white smile in just 5 days
  (*When used with Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant toothpaste and toothbrush.)
• Strengthens and restores enamel
• Stain Defense Technology helps stop stains before they start
• Provides long-lasting freshness
• Peroxide-free formulation designed to white without irritation
• Alcohol-free

What I liked the most about the mouthwash was that the one from Arm and Hammer doesn't contain alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. So as you are swishing it around, you feel no intense burn or tingling sensation like it's competitors. After you are done rinsing your mouth, you are left with a nice clean feeling and minty fresh breath. It was able to gradually lift away some previous stains I had on my teeth from drinking coffee and other dark colored beverages. I didn't see new stains appearing on my teeth.

I think using the Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant Whitening and Strengthening Fluoride Rinse really helped make my teeth look whiter and feel cleaner as opposed to using just the Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant toothpaste alone. I will definitely buy this when my bottle runs out.

Spinbrush Truly Radiant Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush
(Soft Bristles)

Spinbrush Truly Radiant Deep Clean Manual Toothbrush (Soft Bristles)

Advertised Benefits:

• Bristles rotate as you brush to help blast away plaque
• Features elongated bristles designed to clean hard-to-reash places
• Available in soft- and medium-bristle firmness

The manual toothbrush I received in my kit was a soft-bristle toothbrush. Compared to soft bristle toothbrushes that I used from Crest, Oral B, and Colgate, I think this Arm and Hammer toothbrush is more firm but it isn't painful to use as a soft bristle toothbrush.

The shape of the toothbrush head is also smaller when you compare it to other toothbrushes on the market. I would classify it as a compact toothbrush and can fit perfectly for people like me who have a small mouth.

The selling point for this toothbrush is that the top circular bristles are able to rotate while you brushing and pushing it against your teeth. I didn't really notice much turning whenever I used it. At most it would make maybe a quarter turn in the direction I was brushing. If you want a rotating toothbrush, this does not compare at all to Arm and Hammer's Spinbrush that is battery operated.

I wasn't too impressed with the toothbrush itself though because something the plastic parts on the toothbrush head irritated my gums. I wouldn't recommend buying this toothbrush and don't think it is necessary to use this toothbrush with Arm and Hammer's mouthwash and toothpaste get the "Truly Radiant" results.

Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste

Advertised Benefits:

• Cleans, strengthens and repairs tooth enamel
• Light and crisp mint flavor
• Cool sensation that lasts and lasts
• Clinically proven to whiten in just 5 days to beautify your teeth and smile
• Fresh from the Dentist Feeling of Clean

Swatch of Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste

I really enjoyed using this toothpaste and I felt that the intensity of the mint was just right. It wasn't to the point of feeling like your mouth is burning. Instead, the taste and sensation is very cooling and is not as strong as the mouthwash. It leaves a sweet mint aftertaste like the sweet mint Orbit bubblegum.

Something important to point out is that the Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant Rejuvenating toothpaste is not very foamy compared to Aquafresh or Colgate Optic White toothpaste. I know there are people who prefer large amounts of foam when brushing their teeth.

With this toothpaste, it forms a light foam with small bubbles just enough to gently polish away stains and debris on the teeth. There is baking soda in this toothpaste but it is finely milled. While using this toothpaste, I did not feel any abrasiveness on my teeth so I didn't have to worry it was damaging my tooth enamel.

Final Thoughts
I am a tea, coffee, and dark beverages drinker so teeth staining or discoloration is a main concern for me. On day 5 of using these products, I felt that my teeth looked a bit whiter but nothing drastic.

I honestly couldn't tell if this toothpaste was making my teeth any whiter or improving its appearance when looking at them in the bathroom. It wasn't until looking at the "before" and "after" photos from 7 days of use that I could see a big difference!

Surprised to say my teeth became a lot whiter than before but I don't think its whitening power will be as strong as using Crest White Strips if you are expecting to see pearly white results in the future.

If you decide to make the switch to Arm and Hammer's Truly Radiant toothpaste or mouthwash, I recommend using both the toothpaste and mouth rinse together to get the best results.
