Colgate Teeth Whitening Products to Give You a Dazzling Smile
Brighten your teeth and achieve a more confident smile with Colgate teeth whitening products. CVS Pharmacy's range of Colgate toothpaste, gels, mouthwashes and toothbrushes helps remove stains for whiter teeth between dentist cleanings.
Is Colgate Teeth Whitening Safe?
Colgate teeth whitening products generally contain hydrogen peroxide to help bleach stains and brighten the color of your teeth. These ingredients are okay for most people to use daily in weak concentrations. Dentists often even recommend products such as hydrogen peroxide mouthwash for gentle in-home treatment of gum disease and ulcers or cleaning dentures.
One downside of teeth whitening products with peroxide is that these products can sometimes increase sensitivity by irritating pulp tissue within your teeth. This sensitivity is more likely to occur if your enamel is worn down, as small holes in the dentin of your teeth provide a path to the nerve.
Sensitivity-reducing toothpaste, such as Sensodyne, may help ease the pain and allow you to use Colgate teeth whitening kits more comfortably. However, check with your dentist first, as cavities and other conditions can also cause sensitivity and require prompt treatment to help cure the pain and prevent further progression.
Does Colgate Teeth Whitening Toothpaste Work?
Colgate teeth whitening toothpaste has an American Dental Association seal of acceptance in recognition of its proven ability to help care for the health of your teeth and whiten their appearance. Colgate Optic White Advanced toothpaste is ideal for brightening teeth that have become dull due to age, staining and many other causes. It offers an effective yet easy way to whiten teeth compared to trays and gels.
Colgate Optic White Stainfighter toothpaste is another excellent option that may be better if you're susceptible to sensitivity. This toothpaste whitens teeth by polishing stains off the surface without using hydrogen peroxide. It may be a gentler option if you're prone to sensitivity or gum irritation.
How to Use Colgate Teeth Whitening Pen
Colgate's teeth whitening pen helps brighten your smile overnight, making your teeth look noticeably whiter with regular use. The gentle formula doesn't harm enamel and is less likely to cause sensitivity than other hydrogen peroxide-based teeth whitening gels. It's also vegan and free of gluten and sugar.
To use this product correctly, simply paint it over the surface of your teeth before bedtime after you brush and floss. The formula works best when left for at least 4 to 6 hours, and you shouldn't eat or drink during this time to avoid washing it off.
