Back in December, I wrote a post about Sensodyne giving away free samples of Pronamel toothpaste. Well, they’re at it again, but this time Sensodyne is giving away a free sample of their popular extra strength with fluoride formula. If taste matters to you, they’re going to be giving away the fresh mint flavor.

Fresh Mint Sensodyne Benefits

According to Sensodyne, their Fresh Mint flavored toothpaste has the ability to:

…build increasing protection against painful sensitivity of the teeth to cold, heat, acids, sweets, or contact, and aids in the prevention of dental cavities.

Friday is Professional Product Sample Day

My dentist and dental hygienist readers are going to start to love Fridays even more because Friday is “Professional Product Sample Day” at Dental Heroes. Each Friday, I will scour the internet looking for quality professional dental products available only to dental professionals. Many of you already have established relationships with suppliers and reps who provide you with product samples. However, without sampling products from companies you don’t have existing relationships with, how will you know if the products you use and recommend are the best available option? Well, you don’t. So, I’ve made it my mission pick out those samples that I think will be of most value to you.

Today’s Free Sample: Soft Shine™ Cosmetic Polishing Paste

Today’s free sample, Soft Shine™ Cosmetic Polishing Paste is brought to you by the well-established brand, Waterpik®. Waterpik®, of course, is most notable for their oral irrigation products, but today’s free sample provides a glimpse into their other high-quality product lines.

Soft Shine™ Cosmetic Polishing Paste Features

• Veneers: Effectively polishes marginal edges.
• Composites: Safely restores full luster.
• Gold: Restores to original shine.
• Porcelain: Safely removes heavy staining.
• Natural Teeth: No need to change pastes!

Aquafresh is currently offering a sample trial size of their popular Aquafresh® Extreme Clean® toothpaste. Aquafresh released this product a few years ago to address the need for a toothpaste that leaves their customers’ mouths feeling extra fresh and smelling great. I can tell you from experience that this toothpaste does just that. However, it also ” kills 99.9 percent of odor-causing bacteria and contains fluoride to prevent cavities,” according to Aquafresh.

To claim your free sample, visit the Aquafresh® Extreme Clean® website.

You may remember a few weeks back that I reviewed Dr. Collins interdental cleaners. Well, for those of you who don’t know, interdental cleaners are essentially tiny brush-like “sticks” if you will, used to clean plaque and food particles out of the spaces between your teeth. They’re a great supplement to dental floss, and can break up the monotony of flossing everyday.

Flix Sticks – Dental Floss & Interdental Cleaner Combined

I’ve been thinking lately that there must be a way to incorporate the benefits of both interdental cleaners and floss into a single product. Well, it turns out, a company by the name of Mirage Dental Products Limited beat me to the punch. They produce a hybrid interdental cleaner and floss product dubbed “Flix Sticks”. Cool name, huh? What makes this product so unique is that it utilized floss mesh and a tapered edge as opposed to a brush-like tip, common in the typical interdental cleaner. Both of these features should make for maximum plaque removal and ease-of-use.

Free Samples

Everybody likes free samples, right? Good thing, because Mirage Dental is currently offering free samples, so be sure to sign up for your free Flix Sticks now before they run out. I’m filling out the form to get mine right now!

Colgate is currently offering a free battery-powered, kids-themed toothbrush as a promotion for their “Save the World from Cavities” initiative. This is a joint Colgate-Palmolive and American Dental Association initiative designed to “empower children to take control of their dental health”.

To receive a brush of your own, complete the steps below.

Steps Required to Receive Free Battery-Powered Toothbrush

1. Take an official form (Download one here) to your next dental visit.

2. At that check-up, ask your dentist to stamp or sign the form.

3. Purchase a Colgate® toothpaste or toothbrush.

4. Send the form (along with one proof of purchase from a Colgate® toothpaste or toothbrush) to Colgate and they’ll send you a free battery-powered tootbrush!

That’s all there is to it. Enjoy your free toothbrush!

*Update* I found out recently that the link I was using to this offer was not working properly. After correcting it(or so I thought), I noticed that Arm and Hammer is re-directing the link to the wrong page. Guess we were sending them too many people. The good news is, you can still get your free sample. Simply copy the following website address and paste it into a new browser window: http://www.tryarmandhammer.com Enjoy!

For a limited time, Arm & Hammer is offering a free sample of their Advance White toothpaste. The free sample is “Brilliant Sparkle” flavored. Don’t ask me what that is. But, based on the mint graphic found on the box I would guess it has a minty flavor. Go figure.

Arm & Hammer states on their website that this toothpaste, “Uses the same ingredients that dentists use to clean their patients’ teeth.”

Judging by my past experiences with Arm & Hammer toothpaste, it would seem to me that this blend would have to be considerably different than previous versions to taste anything like the toothpaste dentist use on my teeth.

It’s worth a shot. I just signed up for my free sample, so not request your free sample of Arm & Hammer Advance White toothpaste as well.

Unfortunately, this offer is no longer available from Aquafresh. However, you can find current coupons and free samples from Aquafresh on their savings page.

I just ran across another great free toothpaste sample offer. This time, Aquafresh is offering a free sample of Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste.

All you need to do to receive your free sample is fill in the form here.

Enjoy.
