Effectiveness

Lots of people want to know if using whitening toothpaste can actually whiten your teeth. The short answer is that teeth whitening toothpastes usually contain mild abrasives that gently scrub the teeth. Also, some whitening chemicals such as sodium tripolyphosphate can help break down or dissolve stains. While these types of toothpaste are considered safe for daily use, some people can experience tooth or gum sensitivity and might find these products too abrasive. [1]  If you have some staining or discoloration on your teeth and are looking for a product that can improve the whiteness of your teeth by several shades, you should look for another whitening method.
