Do Whitening Toothpastes Work?





Teeth whitening is a popular procedure these days. Last weekend my wife and I invited friends for diner, and I found out that out friend Shawn just had teeth whitening. I was quit surprised because he’s not working with people, he’s not smoking, and doesn’t “look the type” who would want to whiten his teeth.

He said that he was so thrilled with the results, that he didn’t even finish the dose he was given, in fear that his teeth would seem too white and artificial.

With all the multitude of teeth whitening products, I decided to check out if whitening toothpastes work too. Since I but toothpaste anyway, I decided to add the extra buck and go for a whitening toothpaste. All the major brands (Aquafresh, Colgate, Crest) have whitening toothpastes. Is it just a marketing ploy? I came across this nice article about whitening toothpastes, how they work and the differences between the brands.
