Product Information

We also spoke to experts to learn how different ingredients affect sensitive teeth and gums. Experts we interviewed include: Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening Toothpaste: We loved how well this toothpaste improved our breath and left us feeling refreshed. The toothpaste is designed for sensitive teeth, and we can confirm that we didn’t experience any issues with teeth sensitivity. We didn’t care for the flavor, though, and found the gritty texture unpleasant.

We all know that the food we eat and drink daily passes from our mouths. By our teeth, but have you ever wondered what will happen if your oral cavity is not healthy? You will become prone to gingivitis and periodontitis. If your condition is not treated, you will eventually lose your teeth, and imagine what will happen if there are no teeth in your mouth. That will completely disrupt your aesthetics?Yes, whitening toothpastes you find in stores are generally safe to use. A good tip to keep in mind while shopping for a whitening toothpaste is to look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance, says Dr. Yost. The ADA’s process for accepting a new product involves analyzing chemical, efficacy, and safety data, as well as product testing. The seal also ensures that a toothpaste’s advertising claims have been evaluated.

Since the primary ingredients target gum health, the teeth whitening results aren’t as impressive or long lasting as other products. Teeth whitening at the Dentist Compared to home whitening solutions, procedures performed by a dental professional can also be considered as safe methods of whitening. Consultation with a specialist allows you to learn about all the different options available as well as any inherent risks. Plus, you may be able to get a clear picture early on as to how many shades brighter your smile will become. The main disadvantage of such whitening is the high price and the need to repeat the treatment from time to time to maintain the effect.

Dr. Ang also notes that whitening toothpastes won’t be able to whiten intrinsic stains, which affect the inner layer of your teeth.

The flavor is the best we tried among the other teeth whitening toothpastes on this list. Whereas most other toothpaste flavors are dominated by an intensive peppermint flavor, this toothpaste features a light hint of mint that we found refreshing. We noticed that it also gave off a slight tingling feeling that left our teeth feeling sparkling clean almost an hour after brushing. However, since it doesn’t contain some of the more common whitening ingredients, like peroxide or baking soda, it might not have as much of a whitening effect as other products. It’s important to remember that whitening toothpastes can take some time to work. In our two-week testing period, we only saw improvements by a shade or two. It can take up to six weeks of regular, daily use to see more dramatic results. Even then, you probably won’t see the kind of change that would result from professional teeth whitening or teeth whitening strips.This toothpaste leaves out some of the more intense teeth whitening ingredients, meaning you will see less overall whitening. Whitening Toothpaste for Tartar Control Tartar-control toothpastes may contain pyrophosphate which helps to keep tartar from forming on teeth. Advanced toothpaste formulations contain sodium hexametaphosphate, which helps prevent tartar and stain formation above the gum line. Stain Removal from Teeth Stain removal whitens teeth by using physical and chemical actions such as mechanical stain disruption (e.g., from silica) and chemical stain disruption (e.g., from sodium hexametaphosphate). These combined actions help to disrupt and destroy the stain on the surface of the enamel, exposing a cleaner, whiter surface. Several whitening products base their benefits on these types of actions. Effective whitening toothpastes contain special silica particles that gently polish the enamel. Many Crest products like Crest 3D White contain a dual silica system that is a combination of cleaning silica and a special whitening silica to gently clean and polish teeth for premium whitening. We noticed an improvement in teeth whiteness and brightness over the course of the first week, but unfortunately, that was where the whitening effects seemed to stop. Even with continued testing, we didn’t see any noticeable improvement over the next few weeks, although the toothpaste was able to maintain the initial results.
