14 best whitening toothpastes for brighter teeth and fresher breath

This product promises fast-acting, long-lasting whitening. We wondered if these claims were a little too lofty but we were impressed. The formula actively removes stubborn stains created by coffee, tea, red wine, and even smoking, and while our only vice from that list is a daily green tea, we certainly had enough surface stains for this toothpaste to have something to work with – and work it did. The formula contains high levels of whitening silicas, which provide effective stain removal, without harming tooth enamel. This meant there was none of the sensitivity that some extra-strong whitening products can cause. Plus, it’s packed with fluoride, which helps strengthen enamel and protect against tooth decay, as well as polyphosphates and PVP, which help prevent tartar and plaque build-up – what more could you want from a toothpaste? Our breath smelt fresher for longer, compared with using other toothpastes, and our teeth looked brighter and at least a shade whiter – which is pretty impressive.
Minty yet mild, this toothpaste was easy to use, and, while it contains baking soda – a mild abrasive that removes surface stains – it doesn’t feel grainy. It doesn’t foam up as much as other toothpastes we’ve tested but you definitely feel like you’ve had a good clean. We noticed our teeth looked a little whiter after a couple of weeks but they also looked really shiny and bright. As a bonus, we experienced absolutely no sensitivity issues when testing this toothpaste, and we were really impressed by how well it removed plaque around the gumline.
