The best teeth whitening methods

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:

• Toothpaste

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.

But in addition to this, a more natural ingredient with the same properties is activated charcoal.

• Mouthwash

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.

• Tablets

You can now get your hands on natural toothpaste tablets where all you have to do is chew, brush, then rinse.

• Strips

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

"Premium stuff!! Ever since i tried this toothpaste ( few years back) i only use this! Other toothpastes don't feel as fresh and clean as this one .Defo recommend. I buy about 10 at a time so it lasts for long period."

Belkis – 5/5 stars
"From the first day of useage I noticed the effects immediately. The toothpaste doesn't taste like charcoal and leaves a minty freshness.

"I have used this since start of year as I was recommended it - so much nicer tasting than the 'normal' ones and mouth feels really fresh for longer."

RicoRico – 5/5 stars
"I have been buying this product before and I'm so glad I can finally purchase it in H&B too!! This is an excellent product. It has a very refreshing coconut taste, with no "explosion feeling" like other brands do. Aftertaste lasts quite a while and gives you a great perception of clean.

Potential side effects of teeth whitening products

While the majority of the teeth whitening products we have shown are made from natural ingredients, there are a few potential side effects. These include:

• Teeth sensitivity – as a lot of teeth whitening products use potentially abrasive ingredients like hydrated silica, they may wear down the enamel slightly and cause sensitivity.
• Mild irritation of the gums – similarly these ingredients may cause mild irritation of the gums.

How to choose the best teeth whitening products for you

So we’ve run through our top picks, but the next step is choosing the right product for you.

In order to find something that suits your oral care routine, there are a few things to consider:

• If you’re willing to swap out your current toothpaste
• If you’re willing to add another step to your routine – i.e with mouth foam or mouth wash
• If you’re looking for a product to give you a boost of freshness and whiteness while on the go
