Why Use the Best Whitening Toothpaste?
Everyone wants a perfect smile complete with glimmering pearly whites, however this is often hard to maintain no thanks to drinks that stain our teeth, like coffee and red wine. Luckily, the best whitening toothpaste for you is available to help lift those yellowing stains.
The Five Best Whitening Toothpastes for Real Results
Using whitening toothpaste is a form of extrinsic whitening, meaning the grainy texture of the toothpaste works to remove biofilm and surface stains for people who want their teeth to be as white as they once were. This works well when the tooth’s enamel is stained from drinking and eating. For those who wish to have teeth whiter than their natural tooth color, you must use intrinsic whitening methods that involve a gel, like whitening strips or whitening trays. Intrinsic whitening works to whiten the inner structure (dentin) of the tooth.
Simply brushing your teeth with whitening toothpaste everyday won’t make your smile three times whiter but it will get rid of those superficial stains, making a big difference in your smile.
