Crest Toothpaste 3D White Brilliance Vibrant Peppermint, 4.1oz (Pack of 3)

Product Information

We appreciated the easy twist top cap that prevented some of the messy overflow you often get from flip top lids, as well as the toothpaste’s refreshing peppermint flavor and smooth texture. However, it did take about a week to see results, which is longer than the advertised three to five days.

It whitens your teeth by incorporating in the pellicle protein of teeth and breaking it down. The pellicle is a thin protein layer on teeth that provides adhesions for stains and plaque. By its buffering ability, Sodium hydroxide also maintains the normal ph of the mouth and Rinse with a whitening mouthwash like Crest 3D White Diamond Strong. Its gentle foaming action safely whitens teeth by removing surface stains while also strengthening weakened enamel for a brighter, more resilient smile.Yes, many of the whitening toothpastes available in stores today can actually help whiten your teeth after a few weeks of daily use. This is because they contain specialized ingredients that can lift and brush away surface stains. In fact, says Brittany Ang, DMD, tooth whitening toothpastes utiilize many of the same ingredients as professional-level whitening systems, just at lower concentrations.

Whitening Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth Sensitivity toothpastes may contain different compounds to help stop tooth pain, including stannous fluoride. If you experience tooth sensitivity, the best whitening toothpaste may also utilize multiple compounds to effectively whiten while treating sensitive teeth on different levels. Yost notes that some ingredients can be harsh or abrasive and might even lead to tooth enamel damage when overused. For example, ingredients like baking soda and activated charcoal can help lift surface stains, but they may not be a good match for people with sensitive teeth. If you try out a new teeth whitening toothpaste and experience tooth and gum pain or sensitivity, it’s worth switching to another product with less aggressive whitening ingredients.

Stain Removal from Teeth Stain removal whitens teeth by using physical and chemical actions such as mechanical stain disruption (e.g., from silica) and chemical stain disruption (e.g., from sodium hexametaphosphate). These combined actions help to disrupt and destroy the stain on the surface of the enamel, exposing a cleaner, whiter surface. Several whitening products base their benefits on these types of actions. Effective whitening toothpastes contain special silica particles that gently polish the enamel. Many Crest products like Crest 3D White contain a dual silica system that is a combination of cleaning silica and a special whitening silica to gently clean and polish teeth for premium whitening. Overall, we found that this formula had a light, gentle flavor similar to spearmint gum, which didn’t irritate sensitive teeth. However, we did notice the toothpaste was more watery than other products we tried. This toothpaste is designed to whiten your teeth using enamel-safe ingredients so you don’t need to worry about harming your enamel with harsh whitening products. We thought the gentle ingredients are a good fit for people with sensitive teeth, and the light, minty flavor wasn’t too overpowering. The toothpaste’s active ingredient, fluoride, is known to protect against cavities. Quinn Yost, DDS, MSD, of Milk Tooth Pediatric Dentistry & Wellness Shoppe in Hermosa Beach, California

Whitening Toothpaste for Tartar Control Tartar-control toothpastes may contain pyrophosphate which helps to keep tartar from forming on teeth. Advanced toothpaste formulations contain sodium hexametaphosphate, which helps prevent tartar and stain formation above the gum line. Teeth whitening at the Dentist Compared to home whitening solutions, procedures performed by a dental professional can also be considered as safe methods of whitening. Consultation with a specialist allows you to learn about all the different options available as well as any inherent risks. Plus, you may be able to get a clear picture early on as to how many shades brighter your smile will become. The main disadvantage of such whitening is the high price and the need to repeat the treatment from time to time to maintain the effect.

Crest 3D White Brilliance Whitening Toothpaste

Teeth can lose their whiteness over time for a couple of reasons, but the most common and treatable cause is staining from eating certain foods or drinking a lot of dark colored beverages, like coffee or tea. When choosing a whitening toothpaste, Dr. Yost says to look for ingredients like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which are known for their ability to remove these surface stains. Since the primary ingredients target gum health, the teeth whitening results aren’t as impressive or long lasting as other products. Despite the intense flavor, we didn’t find that the toothpaste caused any problems for sensitive teeth, and it worked well at removing surface stains that had been building up over time. While whitening strips or professional teeth whitening still offer the best results, we think this toothpaste is a great way to maintain the results of more concentrated treatments.

After this, I recommend crest 3d to my uncle, who was suffering from the same issue because of excessive smoking. After one week, I was surprised to see that crest 3d toothpaste had faded most of the stains. After this, I started recommending this toothpaste to most of my patients who don’t want expensive scaling treatments.
