Whitening Toothpaste Ingredients

Opalescence whitening toothpaste contains sodium fluoride as the main active ingredient for teeth whitening although Sodium Benzoate and Sodium Hydroxide are also listed as ingredients.

• Safe for daily brushing
• Contains sodium fluoride to help prevent cavities and strengthen enamel
• Cool Mint flavor for fresh breath
• Removes surface stains

How it works

Like most whitening products, this toothpaste works as oxygen molecules from the whitening agent react with stains in the teeth it will not however bleach or alter natural teeth colour.

Some whitening toothpastes contain abrasive ingredients to remove stains but this will weaken enamel, cause gum problems, or make your teeth more susceptible to decay and sensitivity if used daily but Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste is gentle enough to use daily.

Does Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste work?

While this toothpaste does contain sodium fluoride it can remove light staining but it’s not a replacement for professional teeth whitening or a home whitening kit. It will not change the natural colour of your teeth in the same way that professional whitening or home whitening kits which contain Carbamide Peroxide do.

Since it’s gentle enough to use twice a day, or after each meal it makes an ideal toothpaste to maintain whiter teeth that have already been whitened but don’t expect it to remove heavy staining by itself.
