Radiant white teeth without bleaching - achieve your goal on a small budget

September 23, 2021

Everyone wants a bright white smile without high costs. Some of us struggle with annoying tooth discoloration that cannot be removed with normal oral hygiene. The first step is usually to toothpaste with a whitening effect - but does it really help?

What can whitening toothpastes do?       

To tackle tooth discoloration from coffee, tea or red wine, whitening toothpastes are often used. These toothpastes promise whiter teeth in a short time. The secret of the pastes lies in the abrasives they contain. By brushing your teeth, they get on the enamel and can clean the teeth better - and at the same time whiten them. The principle is similar to sanding with sandpaper - with very small particles.

Whitening toothpastes can remove tooth discoloration. However, according to current scientific knowledge, they are not suitable for daily use due to their strong abrasion performance.

If you use whitening toothpastes, you should be careful to brush with moderate pressure. If the toothbrush is pressed too hard against the teeth, the abrasive effect increases and under certain circumstances tooth enamel is rubbed off in addition to the discoloration.

Good to know: Whitening toothpastes are not for vegans. According to the animal welfare organization Peta, toothpastes can also contain bone meal as an abrasive instead of silicates.

At OnlySmile you won't find whitening toothpastes, but you will find the whitening powder. This works in a similar way and can gently remove tooth discoloration by occasionally brushing your teeth. And best of all: In contrast to whole teeth whitening sets, this is what you get Tooth whitening powder at a lower price. Curious? Take a look at our online shop for further offers! We look forward to you.
