Whitening toothpaste makes teeth gradually whiter with regular use. Different brands use different ingredients for teeth whitening. There are two types that use different ingredients: surface stain removers that remove discoloration and the other containing bleaching elements that change the teeth' colour. Hear our expert, Dr. Sumit Chhatwal, to know more about what ingredients to use and what not.
Whitening toothpaste contains different ingredients and works accordingly. The three main ingredients and toothpaste you buy usually contain one of the three ingredients - mild abrasives, hydrogen peroxide, and carbamide peroxide. Mild abrasives don't bleach your teeth; they remove the surface stains by scraping the enamel.
Hydrogen peroxide is a bleaching agent used in many other different products. It works by changing the color of your teeth than scraping the stains. The last ingredient in the list, carbamide peroxide, works similarly to hydrogen peroxide. It is widely used in whitening gels. So look for these ingredients accordingly.
Ingredients mentioned above remove surface or superficial stains and takes few weeks to show some effects, whereas, bleaching agents such as carbamide peroxide, hydrogen peroxide added in toothpaste show effects in 2-3 days.
By choosing a toothpaste with finer abrasive particles like calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, hydrous silicic acid, and a few more, you can expect reduced yellowing along with an effective reduction in irritation in teeth and gums. Finely grained abrasives are much more tooth-friendly and can be used with confidence.
Large size can cause abrasions and damage to the enamel, causing dentinal hypersensitivity. So, it is better to go with the small-sized ones.
The prices of the whitening toothpaste vary as per the no. of the content of ingredients. For example, You can get a whitening toothpaste for Rs 100, and you can also get one for Rs 1000. Pricing should not be the sole deciding factor to get the one suitable for your teeth.
Certain kinds of toothpaste contain mild abrasives, whereas some higher quantities of hydrogen peroxide for whitening. Read the ingredients thoroughly mentioned on the box, and a word with a dentist is a good option.
Prices are affordable, but regular use of these whitening toothpaste is contraindicated without consulting a professional.
