With so many daily lifestyle habits that contribute to tooth discoloration or yellowing teeth, it can be hard to maintain a bright white smile. Thankfully, there are countless teeth whitening products on the market and ways you can avoid staining and strengthen enamel. With that being said, let’s take a look at some of the products I chose for achieving a celebrity-worthy grin!
The Products
1. Oral-B Genius 8000 Rechargeable Toothbrush ($249)
The first step in maintaining a white and healthy smile is making sure to brush at least twice a day with a high quality toothbrush. Ever since I switched to using the Oral-B Genius 8000 Rechargeable Toothbrush I have noticed such a huge difference in both the whiteness and health of my teeth. This highly advanced toothbrush features an oscillating dentist-isnpired round head that removes up to 100% more plaque than a regular manual brush. The Position Detection technology ensures you never miss a spot, and also provides a timer to make sure you’re brushing for the recommended 2-minutes. This brush also features a pressure alert to protect gums from over brushing. Aside from all of the amazing health benefits of this toothbrush, this particular kit also includes a ton of awesome features like the 360 SmartRing with LED lighting in 12 colors AND a way to connect with the Oral-B app on your phone via Bluetooth. Buy at WALGREENS.
2. Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint All-One Toothpaste ($6.49)
Having an effective toothpaste to use in conjunction with your advanced toothbrush is also another way to help achieve a whiter smile. The Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint All-One Toothpaste contains 70% organic ingredients including coconut oil, coconut flour, and peppermint oil, which all aid in whitening teeth. The simple but effective low-foaming formula helps to stimulate mouth, gums, tongue, and teeth, resulting in a fresh and clean feeling. Buy at TARGET.
3. Glide Pro-Health Clinical Protection Floss Picks ($4.79)
Just like your dentist will tell you over and over, flossing everyday is so important in maintaining a healthy set of gums and teeth – which also goes hand in hand with having a whiter smile. The Glide Pro-Health Clinical Protection Floss Picks help remove plaque and food particles between teeth. Some of the effects of plaque build-up include bad breath, cavities, and even gingivitis overtime. I personally prefer the floss picks over regular floss as they make it easier to slide in tighter spaces and the farther back teeth. Buy at WALGREENS.
4. Crest 3D White Dental Whitening Kit ($99)
I have been using Crest White Strips for years but their newest whitening kit with the blue light system has by far been the most effective product in whitening my teeth. The kit includes 20 no slip Whitestrips and a unique blue light. After wearing the strips for approximately 1 hour, simply turn on the blue light and hold up to the top teeth until the light goes off. Repeat this step with the bottom teeth afterwards. The blue light system uses the same technology dentists use, which weakens stains so that the whitening ingredients can work more effectively. Results can last up to 36 months and is a much more affordable way to whiten your teeth and in the comfort of your own home (or wherever you want to go)! Buy at ULTA.
