Whiter teeth – something most of us would love to have.
Alas, so many things get in the way. Coffee, tea, and red and white wine are all culprits. But so are curries, berries and tomato-based pasta. There isn’t anything on this list that we’re ditching anytime soon. This is why tooth whitening is an incredibly popular topic.
Professional treatments are extremely effective, but they can also be costly, time-consuming, and painful.
Enter at-home teeth whitening. At its best, at-home teeth whitening fits easily into your routine. We’ve rounded up our top favourites on Amazon that you can try at home to achieve those pearly whites.
Best Teeth Whitening Products
MySmile Teeth Whitening Kit with LED Light, $67.90
For a fast and effective way to whiten your teeth at home, turn to MySmile Teeth Whitening Kit with LED Light.
This kit includes everything you need to achieve a brighter smile in just 10 minutes a day, including a powerful LED light that accelerates the whitening process. The kit also comes with three tubes of carbamide peroxide teeth whitening gel.
The MySmile Teeth Whitening Kit is completely vegan and cruelty-free so you can whiten your teeth with a guilt-free grin.
Oral-B 3D White Luxe Advance Seal Whitestrips (now $22.50, was $44.99)
Don’t have time for a kit? While LED Kits deliver faster results, teeth whitening strips are an easy option. Oral-B 3D White Luxe Advance Seal Whitestrips are this writer’s favourites.
Be sure to purchase the Advanced Seal option.
These are rubbery, rather than thin plastic strips that stick to your teeth. You won’t find that distinctive hydrogen peroxide flavour dripping down the back of your throat. Use once a day for 60 minutes and expect a brighter smile within two weeks.
Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pen (now $22.95, was $29.99)
Use this whitening pen that’s small enough to toss in your bag or pocket for quick touch-ups throughout the day.
Dentist-approved, Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pen contains teeth whitening gel formulated to be gentle on your teeth and gums. Plus, you get two pens in each pack, so you can share the whitening love with a friend (or keep one as a backup for when your smile needs a refresh).
Simply twist the pen to dispense a small amount of gel onto the tip, then brush it onto your teeth.
Sensodyne Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair Toothpaste, $24.12
As mentioned, your enamel is key when it comes to stain prevention.
If you’re using any of the “active” treatments above and are experiencing tooth or gum sensitivity, a whitening agent-free, enamel-strengthening toothpaste is your best insurance against sensitivity and enamel damage.
Sensodyne Pronamel Toothpaste is a fluoride-rich toothpaste that protects and strengthens your teeth and counteracts the wear and tear caused by acidic foods (from fruit to wine and coffee).
Arctic White Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit, $24.95
Arctic White Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit comes with a powerful 5X LED accelerator light, clinically proven to whiten your teeth up to seven shades whiter in just a few weeks.
You don’t have to worry about harsh chemicals slowly eroding your teeth and gums.
The kit includes a specially formulated SLS-free, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly whitening gel that’s safe and gentle in your mouth.
Gem Whitening Pen, $26.37
If you’re looking for a more natural option, Gem Whitening Pen could be your best bet.
This pen is formulated with food-grade hydrogen peroxide and natural ingredients like coconut and mint to provide gentle brightening.
Apply, leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse.
White Glo Accelerator Teeth Whitening Kit (now $27.99, was $34.95)
White Glo Accelerator Teeth Whitening Kit promises eight shades lighter in one week.
The formula contains the brand’s proprietary gel, formulated with carbamide peroxide (which also contains 10% hydrogen peroxide) for a double-whammy treatment.
What difference does carbamide peroxide offer?
Carbamide peroxide remains active longer than hydrogen peroxide. Think of it as a “slow-release” tooth whitener.
Carbamide peroxide also has a slightly longer shelf life so if you frequently forget your tooth whitening regime, this could be the product for you.
Oral-B 3D White Lasting White Enamel Strong Toothpaste (now $9.49, was $15.99)
Our enamel is one of the biggest factors that contribute to the whiteness of our teeth. Thick enamel prevents teeth from absorbing the colours in food and beverages — thin enamel lets them in. Some people are born with thicker enamel than others, but strengthening your enamel should be the top priority when whitening your teeth.
Oral-B has taken this into consideration with their toothpaste.
The Oral B 3D White Lasting Enamel Strong Toothpaste is designed to remineralise weakened enamel while providing 24-hour stain resistance. It stops stains before they start while boosting enamel protection. Love.
