Best Teeth Whitening Toothpastes
The market is flooded with many teeth whitening toothpastes. There is a lot of hype concerning their effectiveness. Some dentists go so far as to say that tooth whitening toothpastes do not remove discoloration any better than a good two minute brushing with regular toothpastes. However, many reviews claim that special tooth pastes give great results by cleaning the surface stains from the teeth and polishing teeth. We will review two great teeth whitening toothpastes that people have enjoyed.
GoSmile Nighttime-Therapy P.M. has been designed to whiten teeth while providing a pleasing taste and texture by including essential oils. There are also ingredients to alleviate tooth and gum sensitivity. The toothpaste uses lavender, chamomile, and vanilla to formulate a relaxing flavor and smell to soothe you into your night.
Active ingredients include potassium nitrate 5.0% to desensitize teeth and sodium monoflurophosphate 0.76% to prevent cavities.
BriteSmile Toothpaste is sold for $16.50. It is one component of a line of products for use after a tooth whitening procedure. Unlike many tooth whitening toothpastes, it contains no abrasives that can scratch enamel. The whitening agent used, Calprox, has been clinically proven to work safely. It removes the material that sticks to teeth on which stains adhere. It also safely cleans teeth and gums and freshens breath.
Many report great results with the more costly toothpastes that are touted as tooth whitening products. The GoSmile and BriteSmile products have other benefits, even if tooth whitening is not the main reason for using them.
