The best teeth whitening methods

Fancy giving teeth whitening at home a go?

It doesn’t always have to be expensive or painful for sensitive teeth. Here are some more gentle teeth whitening methods you could try:

• Toothpaste

The most common whitening ingredients in toothpaste include hydrated silica, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate, which are used to polish and remove any surface stains.

You could also try as an alternative, activated charcoal.

• Mouthwash

As well as toothpaste, there are a selection of whitening mouthwashes available too.

These are often super simple to use and are an easy addition to your oral hygiene routine.

• Tablets

You can now get your hands on toothpaste tablets where all you have to do is chew, brush, then rinse.

• Strips

For a more intense teeth whitening method, you could try using strips.

Some of the best teeth whitening strips include hydrogen peroxide – although it’s important to be aware that even low levels of this can cause alterations in your tooth enamel.¹

D3NISTHEMENACE – 5/5 stars
"Premium stuff!! Ever since i tried this toothpaste ( few years back) i only use this! Other toothpastes don't feel as fresh and clean as this one .Defo recommend. I buy about 10 at a time so it lasts for long period."

Belkis – 5/5 stars
"From the first day of useage I noticed the effects immediately. The toothpaste doesn't taste like charcoal and leaves a minty freshness.

Potential side effects of teeth whitening products

There can be some side effects, such as:

• Teeth sensitivity – as a lot of teeth whitening products use potentially abrasive ingredients like hydrated silica, they may wear down the enamel slightly and cause sensitivity.
• Mild irritation of the gums – similarly these ingredients may cause mild irritation of the gums.
