Choosing whitening

  • Expect whitening toothpaste to tackle surface stains, not change your natural tooth colour.
  • For professional whitening, check the practitioner is on the GDC register.
  • Whitening isn't done for under-18s and isn't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, according to the NHS.
  • If you have sensitive teeth, ask your dentist before trying whitening products.
  • Cutting down on tea, coffee, red wine and smoking helps stains return more slowly.
