5 thoughts on “Dr. Collins Restore Revitalizing Toothpaste 3 Pack”

1. I read one or more reviews on Amazon that stated how good their teeth felt after using this ‘Restore’ toothpaste; I did not experience anything different than the usual toothpaste.
   
   What concerned me most was that ‘Restore’ is made in China (where they spike their milk with Melamine and children die as a result),which I assume is why this product is on sale, and that no ingredients are listed other than the active ingredient NovaMin (Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate). I also would have preferred a toothpaste that contains fluoride.
   
   Hope this helps.

2. I can’t really review this product because I have not used it yet. But I can say that it is made in China, which I did not know until I got it. With all the scare about toothpaste made in China, I set it on the shelf for possible future use and went to the dentist and purchased more SootheRX (which contains twice as much Novamin, but costs $40 for two tiny tubes).

3. I’ve been used this toothpaste for a month, the pain still there. I am looking for another product.

4. I had my back molar filled, but the discomfort continued on. The tooth and the area around it always felt burny and itchy and had a metallic taste. There was also sensitivity to cold and to sugar. Even very salty items would cause the condition to flare. Once it started, it would not stop. My tooth would just sit there, pulsating, itching from the inside, and I felt like it was driving me mad. OTC painkillers did nothing. I went to the dentist two more times to just have them look at my tooth, only to have them say both times that they saw nothing wrong with it other than demineralization and to use fluoride rinse and anti-sensitivity tooth paste. I did those things, but was still forced to resort to Orajel and/or clove oil to get even an hour of relief. Soon enough, even that didn’t work anymore. All seemed hopeless…. But then I Googled “tooth remineralization” and this came up. I checked out some of the reviews from other sites, and it seemed promising. I am a skeptic about so-called miracle products, and I don’t exactly like the idea of spending more than $7 on a toothpaste that I have to mail away for. BUT IT WORKS. It’s only been 11 days and I am almost completely free of the flare-ups. I do have to be meticulous about brushing my teeth after every meal/snack. I use this stuff in the morning but don’t rinse, so as to let it do its thing. A few hours later, I rinse my mouth with fluoride mouthwash. I brush with Isoactive toothpaste after lunch, and then use this stuff the rest of the time. I am SO GLAD I TRIED THIS, It is the miracle I had been praying for for months.

   It is a little gritty but after you get used to it, it’s no big deal. Something about its gritty texture seems to me to be a part of it doing its job.

   Some reviews on other sites have said it is made in China. My tubes both say Made in USA.

   THANK HEAVENS FOR THIS TOOTHPASTE.

5. I think the best way to use this product would be to first thoughraly clean, bleach, remove tartar, etc, using plaque removing type products. Then brush, but not rinse with flouride containing prduct, to leave some flouride on the teeth, then brush with this product. I this way when it does create a layer there is not plaque or discoloration trapped beneath, and also it does need some flouride in order for it to work.(the layer created is a flouro-apatite layer)
   
   It think using it properly has helped in less sensitivity, and a stronger tooth surface.
   
   I think it is also helpful to take a calcium, magnesium, vit-D supplement so there is suffiecient calcium excreted in the saliva for the chemical proces to work, (and to help the jaw bone)
   
   This is an economical product for those that cannot afford the more expensive, higher novamin concentrated products.
