Fancy giving teeth whitening at home a go?
It doesn’t always have to be expensive or painful for sensitive teeth. Here are some more gentle teeth whitening methods you could try:
The most common whitening ingredients in toothpaste include hydrated silica, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate, which are used to polish and remove any surface stains.
You could also try as an alternative, activated charcoal.
As well as toothpaste, there are a selection of whitening mouthwashes available too.
These are often super simple to use and are an easy addition to your oral hygiene routine.
You can now get your hands on toothpaste tablets where all you have to do is chew, brush, then rinse.
For a more intense teeth whitening method, you could try using strips.
Some of the best teeth whitening strips include hydrogen peroxide – although it’s important to be aware that even low levels of this can cause alterations in your tooth enamel.1
