Sparkling New Teeth

I was accompanying my brother in law the other day, visiting a private dental clinic as he had toothache and were unable to chew properly. I was attracted to the ads on the wall, promoting a whitening toothpaste. I like coffee so much that sometimes I forgot to care about my teeth..yeah, guilty as charged! We went back later on, with me feeling more cautious about my teeth.  



Everyone wants that dazzling, bright-white, picture-perfect smile, that tells those you come in contact with that here is a winner. Movie stars and starlets have that smile (specifically, white teeth). For some, it is natural, and for others, they have probably have to resort to finding the best whitening product or see a professional cosmetic dentist to get the “Look”(for instant result…). One of the most popular methods of whitening your teeth is with whitening toothpastes(cheap, but takes longer time to get result…).



A million dollar question: What is the best whitening toothpaste? Nearly every brand has its own top selling toothpaste and advertises that it will whiten your teeth while also being healthy for your teeth. Just like brushing with fluoride.

With so many choices available, how do you know which is the best whitening toothpaste for you? If you already have a favorite brand, and you are happy with the results, then you may want to stick with that brand. You can find whitening toothpastes in several brands, such as Colgate total, Aquafresh, and Darlie to name just a few.

These toothpastes usually contain mild abrasives to remove surface stains. One of the abrasive ingredients commonly used is baking soda (which also helps to prevent bad breath). They may also have special chemicals or polishing agents that are more effective at stain removal than regular toothpastes.
With regular and sustained use over time, these toothpastes can be effective in removing surface stains. The best whitening toothpaste for you would be one that does not irritate the gums over extended periods of time. While whitening toothpastes are good, they are not meant to actually bleach your teeth.
You can dazzle people with your smile with diligent continuous care and daily brushing. It takes long term usage of any toothpaste to get and maintain the best results. Whitening toothpaste is one of the least expensive methods of whitening your teeth as you most likely buy and use toothpastes on a regular basis.
If you are considering whitening toothpaste, then there are a few things you should consider;
  • Some of the advanced whitening toothpastes contain peroxide at a minimal amount and is not harmful when swallowed.
  • The abrasives in these toothpastes can dull the surface of dental crowns and veneers over long periods.
  • Some of the abrasive ingredients in whitening toothpastes are calcium carbonate, baking soda, silica, and aluminum oxide.
  • It is important to know the ingredients in toothpastes; should you have a sensitivity or reaction to the product.
  • All toothpastes help to whiten just by fact of daily scrubbing the surface stains away, but only the whitening toothpastes have bleaching agents.
When it comes to making a decision, what is the best whitening toothpaste out there? For me, I prefer Colgate Whitening toothpaste. It contains baking soda and Peroxide for extra whitening power, as well as Fluoride to fight cavities and tartar and to protect your teeth and gums.

It is great to open your day with this outstanding toothpaste, and feel ready for another successful day. What else can you ask from a toothpaste? Try it, I’m sure you’re gonna love it.

  3. It’s true that there are many ways to achieve pearly white teeth. There are procedures that dentists do, which include applying whitening products. And of course, the more natural way, like brushing your teeth with your favorite whitening toothpaste. However, be cautious in picking whitening toothpaste of your choice. Chemical make-up of some toothpaste can vary; there are some that are specially made for sensitive teeth. So visiting a dentist for consultation can help you find what best fit you in order to have pearly white teeth.
