A huge amount of dental care products are sold in Russia. In addition to toothpastes of a domestic manufacturer, a lot of products from Germany are supplied to the Russian market by American and Indian firms.

Whitening pastes are primarily needed by smokers, coffee lovers, as well as those who love cola, tea and other coloring foods. Such means will return the enamel to its natural shade; there are options when the teeth are lightened even by several tones.

The main thing is to use such pastes correctly so that, because of the desire to quickly obtain a brightening effect, not to harm the teeth. You cannot use such preparations thoughtlessly, otherwise you can erase the enamel layer and increase the sensitivity of the teeth.

Whitening pastes can only be used by those who have healthy teeth (there are no cracks and the enamel is not damaged and thinned), and the gums do not bleed and do not have a "loose" structure. If everything is in order with this, then pay attention to the rating of whitening pastes.

• REMBRANDT with a low content of abrasive bleaching agents. Delicate paste does not spoil the teeth: gentle whitening occurs due to the content of citroxaine. Whitening teeth by 3 tones made this paste very popular with consumers, but you can only boast of such an excellent result after 2 months. During this time, you will have to buy more than one tube of the product, since its gramme is 75 ml. Calculate your possibilities, the price of REMBRANDT is quite high. But the result is also justified. It has a strong mint taste, but it will relieve you of an unpleasant odor in the mouth.

• LACALUT White with oxidizing agent. The German remedy is able to cope with the pigment that gives the teeth yellowness, it makes it transparent. In addition to an oxidizing agent, the paste is rich in hydrogen peroxide and urea, sodium bicarbonate. The composition contains abrasive particles, but cleaning from the drug is not traumatic. The composition is able to resist caries and the development of gingivitis. Applied intermittently (each course - no more than 1 month).

• SPLAT (whitening plus category). Experts believe that this domestic product is no worse than its European counterparts. Gently whitens teeth and protects enamel. A month after application, the smile will become 50% whiter, teeth will be brightened by at least one and a half tones. In addition to the main function, this paste has a therapeutic and prophylactic effect: it reduces sensitivity, prevents the development of caries, remineralizes enamel, has an antibacterial effect and stops gum bleeding. In terms of price range, this paste belongs to the segment above the average.

• PRESIDENT White Plus (no fluoride). The whitening intensity of this toothpaste is very high, which is why it is used only once a week. By the way, it is produced in tubes of 30 ml, which makes it convenient to use at such a time interval in terms of shelf life. Intensive whitening provides an interesting composition, which includes Icelandic moss extract, abrasive polishing agents: silicon, calcium glycerophosphate, sea shell derivative (diatomea family).

• Blend-a-med 3D White with a high fluoride content. In addition to whitening, this paste also strengthens the teeth. The product is presented in six flavors and will leave pleasant sensations in the mouth all day long. Prevents the formation of caries, has antibacterial properties. The price of this product will be a pleasant surprise, but those who have too sensitive teeth should not pay attention to it: Blend-a-med 3D White contains pyrophosphates, which will only increase the destruction of enamel with its thinness.

An effective quality whitening toothpaste will quickly get rid of plaque. Among such copies there are both cheap products and expensive ones. It is not always necessary to ignore the budget option, just as you should not choose pastes from only well-known brands.

In Russia, you can find inexpensive teeth whitening products from Bulgarian, Indian and other European manufacturers. Pastas are brought to us, for example, from Finland, Korea, Great Britain, Germany and other countries.

• SENSODYNE (category "recovery and protection"). Paste for daily care of damaged and sensitive teeth.The formula of this product is NovaMin - a unique component that acts on the enamel with a regenerating effect, creates reliable protection of the dentition from caries, but firstly reduces sensitivity. SENSODYNE is expensive, perhaps because of the brand's exposure to the brand through advertising. Another nuance that consumers should be aware of: the pasta comes with an enhanced menthol flavor.

• COLGATE (Total 12 from the "professional cleaning" category). The complex composition of this gel paste prevents bad breath and keeps you fresh for up to 12 hours by killing bacteria on the gums and teeth, as well as clearing them out of the tongue and cheeks. This product is from the professional line of dental and oral care products. The paste perfectly removes plaque, prevents inflammation, creates enamel protection, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the teeth.

• "Biocalcium" from SPLAT Professional (category "complex care"). The paste not only strengthens and restores the enamel layer, but also whitens and polishes it.

Thanks to sodium bicarbonate, which is also contained in this paste, a reliable protection against caries is created in the mouth. The tool is affordable, does not have a harsh taste, and we must remember that this is still a paste for the care of sensitive teeth, and not a whitening compound. Whiteness on the teeth will appear after long-term regular use: by 1 tone in 4-5 weeks.

• DABUR Red with natural ingredients from an Indian manufacturer. The product is created exclusively from natural ingredients: mint, clove oil, red pepper, ginger.

It is recommended to use this paste at bedtime.

Here are some more tips for choosing a toothpaste.

• Choose hygienic toothpastes to maintain cleanliness in the oral cavity, it is possible with plant and propolis extracts.
• For sore gums, give preference to formulations with a healing effect. Such pastes are marked "asset" or "phyto".
• To remove plaque, including coffee, yellowness from smoking, bleaching compounds are better suited.
• Sensitive toothpastes are designed for sensitive teeth.
• The fluoride content will create protection against caries and neutralize bacteria in the oral cavity, but it is undesirable to use such a paste for a long time.
• Soda in the composition will help to whiten teeth, but this tool also needs to be used for a short time, because soda corrodes enamel and irritates the mucous membrane of the mouth.
• The safety of the paste is affected by the amount of parabens in it, this figure should not exceed 2%.
• The presence of abrasives is indicated by the RDA mark: so, if this indicator is more than 100 units, then be careful: long-term use of such a paste can destroy the enamel.
