Flashing sparkling white teeth leaves an everlasting impression. Teeth whitening is an important aspect of self-grooming and hygiene. After all, everybody wants whiter and brighter teeth.
Professional teeth whitening by a dentist is helpful, especially for those with sensitive teeth. Besides that, you’ll get a complete check-up of your teeth.
However, you can avoid seeing a dentist as there are many teeth whitening products/kits for convenient home use. And it’s easy and cost-effective. After careful research, we found a few brands that could do the trick for you.
Crest needs no introduction to the DIY at-home whitening world. Their latest innovation raises the bar to a whole new level. Comes in a handheld device form, Crest retains their popular strips and revs up its famous brand through the use of blue light effects.
Wear the strips for an hour. Then, hold up the light to the strips for further 10 minutes (five minutes each on top and bottom). Apply light to upper and lower teeth until it turns off automatically. You’ll receive full results in 10 days.

Breaking news: It’s not just the stains on the front of your teeth that can make them appeared discolored. Staining in between the teeth also contributes to an overall dingy appearance. Flossing in general is super important in preventing this, but you can up the ante even further by using this floss, which is infused with hydrogen peroxide.
FYI, you get just the roll of floss (without the plastic holder that you typically get) so figuring out how to pull it out and cut it takes a little bit of getting used to, but it’s well worth the extra effort.
Spotlight Oral Care Dental Floss for Teeth Whitening effectively cleans plaque, food and debris from between your teeth while gradually and safely whitening teeth over time.

If you are on the market for a slower, steady, more cost effective (yet efficient) whitening treatment, a toothpaste is the way to go. Dr. Weiner maintains that “you can’t go wrong” with Opalescence, a dentist developed whitening toothpastes. “This toothpaste is gentle enough to be used daily and will whiten up to two shades brighter, and with the fluoride percentage fortifying your teeth further, it’s a great product,” she exclaims. In just one month of twice daily uses, this sodium fluoride infused toothpaste promises to lighten up your teeth two shades.
Results can be seen effectively
Lightens two shades in a month when used as directed
Formulated to release fluoride quickly & efficiently to strengthen tooth enamel
Uses an optical chemical to create the illusion of a much whiter smile

Activated charcoal is created from carbon-rich materials burned at high temperatures, like coal, coconut shells, and wood. In skincare, there are claims that it binds to and removes impurities from the skin, but more research is needed.
Charcoal can be found in a bazillion different skincare products these days, but it’s also a popular ingredient in the oral care space. It’s an effective abrasive, an ingredient that buffs off stains on the surface of your teeth.
“This toothpaste does a great job at binding to the stains and discolored deposits and lifting them off to leave teeth brighter,” says Dr. Marashi. He adds that he especially likes using it as a maintenance product after using a hydrogen-peroxide based product, like strips or a gel.
Contains no parabens, artificial dyes/flavors, sodium lauryl sulfate, gluten or preservatives

Now, many people think that even the teeth whitening toothpaste really work, or will work. But in reality, they do not help much, particularly if you have really badly stained teeth.
The teeth staining or pigmentation can be both intrinsic and extrinsic. Extrinsic is usually taken down by bleaching methods. But the intrinsic type is really hard to get rid of.
While teeth whitening can be dependent on the person, we can’t go past the Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous Whitestripes for their ease of use and American Dental Association’s (ADA) seal of approval.
And when it comes to minimal effort, maximum impact, the Crest 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste is gold class. Just switch your regular toothpaste out for this one and you’re golden.
So, there you have it! The above are our teeth whitening reviews.
