Hi, I’m Dentophobic. And You Are? {$100 Giveaway}

By 88 Comments

Post sponsored by ARM & HAMMER.

Ok, so I am probably not quite to the phobic state, but I do not like the dentist and I am in good company. It is estimated that 75% of US adults experience some degree of dental fear. Are you part of the in crowd? 

So what do I do about it? I try to avoid visiting the dentist more than the obligatory twice per year. I go in, stare at that handsome man (over there, to there to the right. I couldn’t resist including a picture.) for about five minutes for my check up and vow to not have to visit again for another six months. 

So naturally, I love products that can help keep my pearly whites, well, pearly and white. I recently discovered two products I am pretty fond of for such upkeep, ARM & HAMMER™ Sensitive toothpaste from the makers of Orajel™ and the Spinbrush: ProClean Sonic. Phew, kind of a mouthful right? (he he, punny.)

But, in all seriousness, lets break it down to the nitty gritty of (and who knows, maybe TMI) why I like it.

ARM & HAMMER™ Advance White™ Sensitive with Whitening

Let’s start with the toothpaste. I noticed a difference immediately. When I was brushing, it seemed stronger and different than my normal toothpaste. I wasn’t sure I would like it. But like all big decisions, I slept on it. And guess what? I woke up to an amazing find. No yucky taste, no filminess, or cotton mouth. My mouth felt great and fresh. I couldn’t believe it so I asked my husband if he noticed a difference and he agreed. Wowsers! All that and it will help with my cold sensitivity and whitening too?! Sold!

Get this, my husband just told me that he loves the toothpaste so much that he told all his co-workers about it today at stand up. Now that’s some dedication!

My husband swears by a powered toothbrush. I have never been a big fan of non-manual toothbrushes. I hate the spinning heads. I always manage to pinch my cheeks with them while brushing. How? I don’t know…that’s another story.

Arm & Hammer SpinBrush Powered Toothbrush, Pro Clean Sonic Brush, Soft - 1 ea

When to what to my wandering eyes should appear but a powered toothbrush with no spinners to fear. The Spinbrush Pro Clean Sonic has a dynamic fluid action that pushes the toothpaste and water between teeth. Being a less than faithful flosser that was music to my ears. The moving bristles also help me avoid pressing to hard. I have a bad habit of breaking toothbrushes from pressing too hard. I’ve done it twice. So far I like it and the fact that it has bristles built to remind me in three months to change the head is a bonus. I have enough to think about.

Now, I have something for you to think about.  What ARM & HAMMER Products would you like to try? What would you do with $100?

  8. I just got home from the dentist and imagine my surprise to see your blog about dental phobia! Any product that keeps me out or that torture chamber is alright by me!

  12. I’d be interested to try the laundry pods. I’ve never used those products before and I’d be interested to see how they work. I trust A&H enough to try theirs.

  22. I would love love to try their toothpaste. I am a creature of habit and very particular about my toothpaste. When shopping I vow to try something new but change my mind because I know what I like. I hate wasting money on product that will disappoint. :/ Thanks for the chance to try something new. 🙂

  46. My daughter-in-law is a dentophobe too. She hasn’t been in years and I have to go with her next week because she’s so scared and her mother doesn’t live nearby. I’m not scared – I fall asleep in the dentist chair – I just hate all the hassle, so I haven’t been in about 18 months. I wish there was an easier way. By the way, I’ve been using their laundry soap for years – it’s great stuff.

  76. I would love to try the ARM & HAMMER™ Liquid Detergent HE Compatible, Perfume & Dye Free! My son has horrible allergies to detergent, and this would be perfect for him I think!
