Product Information

Even the biggest smiles can do with some brightening now and again, especially if you’re a fan of smoking or drinking stain-worthy teas and coffees. If you’re not keen on a whitening procedure at the dentist – which can often be quite pricey – incorporating a teeth whitening toothpaste into your daily brushing routine is the best way to keep the brightness of your teeth topped up. It’s key to remember that most whitening toothpastes will only remove pre-existing stains on the tooth’s surface and not actively brighten the natural colour of your teeth, because a product you use every day legally can’t include a high percentage of whitening agents. But with so many toothpastes on offer, how do you distinguish between them all? Some are intended for protecting those with sensitive teeth, while others can provide the illusion of instantly whiter teeth – great for a one-off occasion, but the result won’t necessarily last too long. To help you choose, we’ve rounded up the best whitening toothpastes on the market, along with a short guide about what they can do for you. Perhaps unexpectedly, the Max White also features a unique ‘smart foam’ that aids in the removal of debris but also feels a bit weird if you’re not ready for it. There’s none of the gritty post-brushing residue that some toothpastes leave behind, and your mouth does feel fresh and clean for hours afterwards. We noticed an improved whitening after using it twice daily for a week and didn’t feel any increased sensitivity, either. Another added benefit is the flat, stand-up cap, which is really useful for keeping your sink area tidy. Pearl Drops uses dental grade polishing agents like perlite to gently polish teeth and lift stains without damaging enamel. As it’s classed as ‘low abrasion’ it’s safe to use this toothpaste every day, and most people see results pretty fast. You can also clearly see the little pearl-like blue beads of perlite in the paste, but the paste itself is white (if you’ve used other Pearl Drops products you’ll know its other toothpastes are bright pink and purple). Colgate has long been a staple in many bathrooms, and although it has a wide range of whitening toothpastes available, we’re particularly keen on the triple action of the Max White. It contains three active minerals, which help to polish, protect and strengthen, including potassium nitrate to desensitise tooth nerves and cleaning crystals that remove surface stains.

Whitening toothpaste is designed to be used twice daily, but shouldn’t be used more than this in case of adverse reaction. The main side effects from whitening toothpaste are mild gum irritation and increased sensitivity. If you experience these, it’s advisable to alternate between regular and whitening toothpaste to minimise your reaction.

As tooth enamel wears down, the dentine underneath becomes exposed – so if you wince when drinking something particularly hot or cold, your teeth might be overly sensitive. Sensodyne protects tooth enamel by forming a thin layer over sensitive areas, and actually re-hardens the enamel, too, thanks to a calcium formulation called NovaMin. It’s a pretty pricey option – certainly the most expensive we’ve included here – but Strong Polished often seems to be on offer at various stores and online.

Biomed Superwhite contains only natural ingredients and is made without fluoride, making it suitable for children aged six and up who can’t brush with fluoride while their teeth are still developing. It’s a great vegan-friendly option and will leave your teeth looking subtly whiter if used regularly. Because over-the-counter whitening products can only include a small amount of whitening agents, these toothpastes won’t actively brighten the natural colour of your teeth. That can only be achieved by a dentist’s use of professional products that contain hydrogen peroxide, and should only be used once in a while. Most whitening toothpastes won’t brighten your teeth overnight but, when used regularly, they can remove existing surface stains and protect your teeth against future stains, too. Can I use whitening toothpaste every day?

In terms of whitening, there’s a marked difference after a week or so of using twice daily, although some customers report an increase of sensitivity, too. The other possible downside is the underwhelming flavour – it’s not as minty as other toothpastes and doesn’t make your breath as fresh as a result. But, when you consider how much waste is generated by normal toothpaste tubes, this is a fantastic environmentally friendly alternative.
