Teeth Whitening: All of the teeth whitening toothpastes work very well for what they are. The dentist can get your teeth far whiter so you have to understand the concentrations these toothpastes work in are quite low. Results will vary from person to person based on staining, tooth decay, and even previous restorations present in areas of whitening.

Whitening toothpaste: All whitening toothpastes rely on being more abrasive to remove superficial stains from coffee, tea, cigarette smoke etc. They do not contain any whitening ingredients.While they may help initially, continued use can make the teeth darker as the outer lighter color is worn away revealing the darker inner structure. Also may make them more sensitive.

Beware: The increased abrasiveness increases risk of sensitivity.

Sure, a little bit: If you are truly serious about tooth whitening, see your Dentist for professional help. After procedure completed whitening toothpaste or strips can be used to prolong the color change, putting off the time when a repeat of the whitening procedures becomes necessary.
