Teeth Whitening Scams and Rumors

These are common misconceptions about teeth whitening

Whitening toothpastes don’t work. They don’t do anything regular toothpastes can’t do. They just cost a whole lot more (up to $7 for a tube of Rembrandt).

Toothpaste-any toothpaste-removes only surface stains. That yellowness that’s bothering you is likely not on your surface enamel (which is transparent and can be polished with toothpaste), but rather in the dentin inside your teeth (where toothpaste can’t reach). Your dentin gets yellower as you get older, even if you don’t smoke tobacco or drink coffee. It’s the yellow within this dentin that hydrogen peroxide can bleach away-when applied correctly and for an extended period.

There are a lot of home teeth whitening kits being promoted online that are expensive and simply don’t work. I have already tested all these products (along with my team of dental experts), so you don’t have to worry about any of those scams here. I’m only going to tell you about 100% legitimate teeth whiteners.

So, can you whiten your teeth at home? Yes, but you will want to use one of the above teeth whitening products. These are the top three products that whiten teeth the best out of the 29 tooth whitening products that my team tested.
