Want those pearly whites without the hefty price tag? That's where teeth whitening toothpastes come in. They offer a budget-friendly alternative to professional whitening.
We've put together a list of our favourite teeth whitening toothpastes on the market as well as some tips and tricks so you get the most bang for your buck.
The main teeth whitening ingredients in toothpaste are hydrogen peroxide and hydrated silica (naturally derived). Toothpastes can also contain charcoal or coconut oil to help assist in the whitening process.
The difference between using toothpaste and going to the dentist is the speed of the results. Where you may get results in one session at the dentist, toothpaste does take a longer to brighten.
On average, most teeth whitening toothpastes take around three to four weeks to take full effect. In saying this, you can usually start to see a difference within the first few days.
Oral B claims to remove 95% of stains in 3 days whereas Colgate's latest products remove up to 10 years of discolouration in four weeks.
Keep in mind that this is based off twice, daily brushing.
Teeth whitening toothpastes are around or under $10 depending on where you're buying it from. You can usually save a few extra dollars at stores such as Chemist Warehouse or Priceline.
If you are using a teeth whitening toothpaste, try to avoid acids, tannins and chromogens as they have a tendency to stain enamel.
Avoiding certain foods can also help keep your smile bright. The main culprits of teeth stains include:
