The Best Teeth Whitening Products You Can Buy In 2022
Granted, if you went back a little over a century and told the Edwardians that in the future a toothbrush would cost upwards of £100, they’d probably have had you lobotomised. But now we know that an electronic toothbrush with a rotating head is a modern grooming essential because it can remove up to 10 times more plaque for your pegs and gunk from your gums, too.
If you’re still driving manual, it’s time to change gear.

Everyday Toothpaste
Arm & Hammer Total Pro Clean + Repair
It’s no good just brushing your teeth with plain water, nor should you experiment with shampoo, soap or the aforementioned bleach. What you’ll need instead is a reliable everyday toothpaste to get the job done properly.
There are thousands on the market, many of which claim to be able to give you teeth so white they can’t dance. To whittle them down, look for something with gentle whitening properties, a nice minty scent and low abrasion to keep that precious enamel intact. As well as fluoride, look for products that contain sodium bicarbonate that gently scrubs away at stains.

Premium Toothpaste
BlanX Classic Whitening Toothpaste
Darkening teeth is a natural, albeit terrible, part of ageing. However, the process is sped up by stain-causing foods and beverages like coffee and acidic fruits, requiring more heavy-duty kit.
Most premium toothpastes focus on delivering targeted results such as whitening or fixing issues like sensitivity – so always check the box. Some whitening ingredients, including sodium bicarbonate, work because they’re abrasive, but that can also damage the enamel on your teeth. This paste opts for a natural, gentler active ingredient – arctic lichen – which can also prevent the build-up of bacteria.

On the one hand, getting food stuck between your teeth is a great way to carry around a snack for later while keeping your hands free to Tinder. On the other, it’s an open invitation to all sorts of dental nasties; if the food is acidic, it will literally sit there rotting your teeth. Which means you may get a first date, but you certainly won’t get a second.
