For that million-dollar smile.
If you’re looking for a brighter smile, chances are you’ve probably looked into teeth whitening.
Going to the dentist to whiten your teeth can cost you an arm and a leg, but with whitening toothpastes from almost every tooth paste brand you no longer have to worry about dishing out the average $5000.
According to top dentists, the best whitening toothpastes do more than just offer minty freshness and the bare minimum of whitening your teeth. The texture, ingredients and technology play a big part in the overall quality of the toothpaste. Try out a whitening toothpaste that works to magnify your pearly whites.
It removes 90-95 percent of enamel stains, protects against cavities and is gentle on the teeth. Victoria Veytsman, DDS, who manages Karlie Kloss, Dascha Polanco and Danielle Brooks’s teeth calls this paste her go-to. The best part is, it’s affordable and you can find it anywhere.
Carly LeVine, DDS, who is based in Los Angeles and treats many Los Angeles A-listers, suggests not to be fooled by shiny packaging. She tells Refinery29 that most whitening toothpastes use harsh chemicals to scrub off stains that ultimately damage the enamel. Unlike most whitening tooth pastes, this one is low in harsh chemicals.
Brian Kantor, DDS, who treats stars such as Penelope Cruz and 50 Cent, told Refinery29 that this toothpaste is perfect for quickly brightening your teeth. The toothpaste will make your teeth instantly brighter due to the Bluverite technology which deposits blue micro-particles creating the illusion of whiter teeth. It also removes teeth stains and makes the teeth appear whiter than they originally were.
If you’re wiling to dish out a few extra bucks, Michael Appa, DDS, who treats celebrities such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson, Lea Michele and Chloe Sevigny, developed his own whitening tooth paste that tastes like a candy cane. The formula contains micro hydroxyapatite to strengthen teeth and scrub away stains.
If using all natural products is your thing, Tom’s simply white toothpaste helps brighten your teeth without using bleaching chemicals. With this product the results aren’t as fast as the others, but the multitasking ability will make you happy.
Periodontist Todd Welch from Jackson, Tennessee raves about it, saying, “I can’t imagine buying any other brand of toothpaste now. If you are looking for a line of natural dental products, I highly recommend Tom’s of Maine for you and your family. As a periodontist, I do feel it is prudent to use fluoridated products to help maintain cavity-free teeth.”
You can even a use a whitening mouthwash after brushing your teeth with whitening toothpaste for an extremely brightened look.
Instead of undergoing an intense whitening treatment, go with one of these whitening toothpastes and spend that extra money you save on a new lipstick to show off your transformation.
