While whitening toothpastes do prove to be effective in removing stains and help restore the natural color of the teeth, it takes almost three to four weeks to achieve the desired results. On the other hand, the whitening treatment performed at the dental clinic is time saving as the procedure takes only about an hour to complete and gives immediate noticeable results which last for more than 2 years. Whitening toothpastes contain polishing agents that gently polish the teeth and help to improve the overall appearance of the teeth. It is usually recommended by the dentist after the professional dental whitening treatment has been performed at the dental clinic. It is important to note that whitening toothpastes use enzymes and abrasives which scrub the stains off the teeth. Therefore, whitening toothpastes should be used under the guidance and recommendations by the dentist as these toothpastes have the potential to damage the teeth enamel and gums over a period of time.
