Which Are the Best Tooth Whitening Toothpaste Brands?

Are you trying to get the whitest teeth possible, at the lowest price?  If so, then whitening toothpaste is probably going to be one of your top considerations.  What should you know about buying these products?  What is the top toothpaste for whitening?

First, you need to understand that no toothpaste is going to whiten your teeth to the point that can be achieved through dental bleaching – even toothpastes that contain a bleaching agent (peroxide) cannot achieve these results no matter how much you use them.  Therefore, if your teeth are very discolored, you need to make a trip to the dentist.

If you need just very basic whitening, then you’ll find that Ultra Brite All In One Advanced Whitening is the top choice, and offers more whitening power than other brands.  Surprisingly, it is also considerably cheaper than other options on the market.

The second place goes to Colgate Total, which actually carries the ADA seal of approval (unlike Ultra Brite).  However, this toothpaste is not just about whitening your teeth.  There is an antibacterial agent here that can actually treat beginning stage gingivitis.

Other toothpaste brands on the market that offer decent results are Rembrandt and Crest Whitening.  However, you need to remember that no whitening toothpaste, regardless of the claims made on the box, will give you any kind of dramatic results. 

Often, the results you will see with these options are really nothing more than you would find with regular toothpaste and more frequent brushing (since most whitening toothpaste brands suggest brushing more often).
