If you don’t use mouthwash then wyd? It is the fastest way to clean your mouth and integrate stain removing ingredients into your oral care routine with a simple shake and gargle. This formula is packed with fluoride boost and hydrogen peroxide brightener. “Over the years I’ve noticed that as an avid coffee drinker my teeth started to stain,” admits associate shopping editor Daisy Maldonado. “This mouthwash is perfect for a quick rinse that gently brightens my teeth. I also have sensitive gums, so I love that this stuff is alcohol-free.”

The mint flavor will also leave your mouth feeling (and tasting) super fresh. If you’re looking for a charcoal toothpaste that does it all, Moon has you covered with this workhorse formula.
Glowing customer review: I’ve tried charcoal paste before but it didn’t taste good and I didn’t like seeing the black paste in every nook and cranny. This one is different: the taste isn’t bad, it rinses off easily, and I was surprised that an application could whiten this way. I will definitely order again!
Advantages
- Ideal for freshening the breath
- No need to rinse or brush
Disadvantages
- The formula is a bit grainy
This pocket size bleach it’s perfect for the office, on vacation, after a meal, or whenever you’re in a pinch and your teeth might need a pick. Simply run the formula onto your teeth (you can even use your tongue to spread it) and it will begin to dissolve after a few minutes target stains and plaque, all while refreshing your breath. It’s the perfect way to add a little extra whitening to your routine when you need it most—no brushing required!
Glowing customer review: I found the formula to dissolve well and leave no residue on my teeth. It also has a nice mint flavor and is a quick way to freshen breath when you’re away from home. I haven’t experienced any sensitivity to my teeth or gums from using this and it’s good to have on hand for travel or when I can’t brush after eating!
How often should you use a teeth whitening product?
“The frequency really varies from patient to patient, but in general we recommend professional in-office whitening no more than once a year,” explains Dr. Cantor. However, “Over-the-counter products such as teeth whitening strips or pens can be used more often.”
Whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes can be used daily, while treatments such as whitening strips or LED kits should be used once or twice a week.
How long does it take to see results from at-home teeth whitening products?
“Results vary from person to person depending on how receptive a person’s teeth are to the whitening gel and the type of products used,” says Dr. Cantor. “Whitening strips usually work at their peak in two weeks.” You should start seeing results after a few uses. He adds that “after you complete the whitening treatment, how long your teeth will stay white also varies and is affected by how often you drink coffee, tea, dark cola, red wine or smoke.”
What ingredients should you look for in a whitening product?
“Most over-the-counter whitening tools contain a concentration of hydrogen peroxide that ranges between 7% and 10%. The idea is that the higher the concentration, the stronger the whitening product!
