Best Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

A dental hygienist's whitening toothpaste review

First, it is important to understand what a whitening toothpaste can do and even more important to know what it can't.

It's just toothpaste after all, and usually won't fix all your tooth color concerns.

Since there are so many choices, whitening toothpaste reviews are a good way to learn what toothpaste brands work well for others, which cause teeth sensitivity, and which brands are most affordable.

Read the label

Fancy marketing and packaging can be deceiving.

It is equally important to understand how the stain got there in the first place so you can avoid future staining.

Of course you shouldn't avoid all staining foods, because some of them are good for your health:)

But, most of us can cut down on staining liquids. Drink more water... It's good for you, has no calories, keeps your breath fresh, and won't stain your teeth.

Always wash staining foods or liquids down with a quick swish of water.

Some stains seep deep into your enamel and can only be removed with a teeth whitening product. Toothpaste won’t help because it doesn't stay in contact with your teeth long enough and quickly becomes diluted from saliva. These stains need a teeth whitening product like whitening strips or trays.

Whether you choose a well known product like Crest whitening toothpaste or a less common choice such as Zoom whitening toothpaste, always look for the ADA seal of approval.
