Do Teeth Whitening Toothpastes Really Work?

We all want a whiter, brighter smile and there are many different products out there for delivering varied results. Whitening toothpastes, though, have special abrasives and detergents in them that buff and whiten your teeth with every use.

But, are these toothpastes meant to be used every day?

Jaimee Morgan, D.D.S., a cosmetic and restorative dentist in Salt Lake City, says that it is OK to use these products every day. Whitening toothpastes are not as strong as traditional tooth-whitening gels or trays, which usually contain a peroxide agent that penetrates the tooth to get rid of stains from within. These products cannot be used every day, as they will corrode your teeth.
