Christmas is often said to be the season of sparkle so there’s no better time to give your teeth a bit of sparkle by whitening them for the festive season. At home teeth whitening has become very popular this year, mainly because of its convenience and affordability.
Teeth whitening at home can be done in a few short steps, and depending on the teeth whitening product or method you choose, it could cost you as little as the price of a bottle of wine or run into thousands of pounds.
I’ve been testing some affordable yet effective home teeth whitening products that may come in handy as Christmas approaches and you want your smile to sparkle. Here are a few options…
Charcoal

Charcoal products are very trendy in the beauty and dental industries right now, and that’s largely due to its ability to draw out impurities and stains. Depending on where the charcoal is from, it might even have the magnetic ability to pull out and attach to stains on teeth leaving it stain free and whiter.
Toothpaste brands have been claiming to make teeth whiter for years but this one from Arm & Hammer does appear to actually do so.
The charcoal in this Arm & Hammer Charcoal White gently removes impurities from the tooth’s enamel surface caused by daily stains, and it also contains baking soda that not only deeply cleans teeth but also whitens it. So you get 2x the teeth whitening power.
Holland & Barrett Teeth Whitening Powder

This may not look pretty in your sink but it promises to give you a bright sparkling smile in no time.
This charcoal Teeth Whitening Powder aids whitening by helping to remove stains and discolouration from the surface of your teeth. Simply put a pinch of the powder in the palm of your hand and dip a wet toothbrush into the powder. Brush teeth for two minutes, then rinse. Brush again with water to remove residue. Do this for twice a day, for a few weeks and you’ll see a real difference.

RM Natural Whitening Toothpaste
