What is the best toothpaste for whitening?

13 doctors weighed in across 6 answers

None: Toothpaste does not really whiten the teeth because the amount of time you brush is not long enough for the whitening agent to be in contact with your teeth. Tooth paste can make the teeth appear whiter by polishing them. The best way to whiten is with dentist made bleaching trays that are custom fitted to your teeth and whitening gel. Or otc white strips.

None: Toothpaste itself will not really whiten teeth because it does not stay on long enough.

Most are not good: Most toothpastes do very little to whiten teeth. It is best to use the products that were made for tooth whitening to whiten the teeth.

None: Whitening toothpastes contain an abrasive to remove surface stain. They do not alter the color or brightness of the tooth itself. See your Dentist for a professional cleaning. Then follow his/her advice as to whitening techniques that will work for you.
