For the ladies who want a whiter smile yesterday, allow me to introduce the AuraGlow Deluxe Home Teeth Whitening System. The whitening gel and LED light combo effectively removes stains caused from coffee, smoking, soda, wine and tea. Users (our editors included) noticed whitening after one to three days, and after a week, their teeth were noticeably whiter. The system includes a self-timer LED light with five LED bulbs and a teeth tray, as well as two whitening gel syringes and 20 whitening treatments. Use the system 30 minutes day for up to 10 days, or until you see results.
Crest 3D White Strips are amazing at whitening teeth, and their newly launched Crest 3D White Whitestrips with Light Teeth Whitening Kit is nothing short of incredible either. The kit comes with 20 whitening strips, plus a blue LED light that helps break down stains so that the strips' whitening ingredient can work more effectively. After a few uses, the signs of our coffee addiction disappeared and teeth were whiter. Be prepared to Netflix and chill, though. This teeth whitening kit requires an hour of your time per session. While our users rave about the kit's whitening results, some reported signs of sensitivity, especially those who were predisposed to it.
Your Ideal Match: All-natural whitening toothpastes
There's something to be said about all-natural beauty products. They make us feel good about what we're putting on (or in) our bodies. Whitening toothpaste is no exception and it's a saving grace for those looking to get a little teeth whitening action minus the sensitivity. Because these natural brands only include clean, safe and organic ingredients, you don't have to worry about your teeth crying the moment you drink a glass of ice water. And while natural anything tends to have a bad rep in effectiveness, these natural whitening toothpastes help scrub away the signs of a joyful life (how many coffee references do we need to make here people), and leave you with a whiter, brighter smile. Editor tested and all.
Say "hello" to whiter teeth and goodbye to angry gums, as this vegan toothpaste effectively cleans teeth and doesn't make your mouth want to cringe from sensitivity.
The toothpaste removes those pesky vino stains without the use of artificial sweeteners or flavors, dyes, microbeads, triclosan, gluten, saccharin or peroxide. Instead, the toothpaste contains a boost of calcium carbonate and hydrated silica (in addition to sodium fluoride) in order to achieve pearly whites. Plus, the minty flavor makes breath fresh and leaves the mouth feeling nice and clean.
Curaprox Black is White Charcoal Whitening Toothpaste contains natural ingredients that remove discoloration without the use of bleach or harsh abrasion. The star of this show? Activated charcoal, which has the ability to cleanse and remove impurities (hence why so many skincare products incorporate it), and your chompers are no exception.
"The most effective way of actually whitening the color of your tooth is with the use of hydrogen peroxide," Lowenberg notes. "But toothpastes with charcoal help remove surface stains effectively." Which makes teeth appear whiter. The toothpaste itself is black, and makes your teeth look like you ate an entire package of Oreos until you rinse, but it makes for a great scare tactic for fellow housemates.
