Do whitening toothpastes actually work?

Yes, whitening toothpastes will help to whiten teeth by removing surface stains, such as those caused by drinking coffee or smoking.  Although they will not physically whiten teeth like peroxide based gels or strips, they contain special micro-polishers which effectively remove surface stains helping to return teeth back to their natural whiteness. They are also ideal for maintaining your white smile after a course of professional teeth whitening.

Keep in mind that whitening toothpaste can’t change the natural colour of your teeth or lighten a stain that goes deeper than a tooth’s surface and If you’re not satisfied with the effect of whitening toothpaste, ask your dentist or dental hygienist about other tooth whitening options including teeth whitening strips and gels.

Can I use a whitening toothpaste everyday?

Yes, you can use WhiteWash Whitening toothpastes like you would use your normal toothpaste. However this is not always the case with all whitening toothpastes as some can be extremely abrasive, so it is best to check with the specific toothpaste manufacturer.
 

How often should I brush my teeth?

Dentists recommend that you brush your teeth at least twice a day for 2 minutes with a toothpaste containing fluoride.
