When I first found myself on Amazon shopping for toothpaste, admittedly, a brighter smile wasn’t the end goal. I was actually looking for a fluoride and paraben free product without so many harsh chemicals and came across Hello’s Antiplaque + Whitening Toothpaste ($15 for a pack of 3), which I had recognized from the stores. With over 5,000 reviews, it had an impressive 4.8 star rating, so I settled and added it to my cart without much ado.
However, just two weeks later, I began to notice improvements whenever I looked in the mirror. Hello’s Antiplaque + Whitening Toothpaste whitened my teeth like no other product had before — and believe me, I’ve tried every strip, gel, and mouthwash imaginable. I have been aware of my brown stained teeth for years, often wondering if it was a light shade of yellow or just an off-white. I even approached my dentist about getting them professionally whitened, but never followed through on the appointment.
The real reason I rave about this under-the-radar product is because recently, I discovered that I wasn’t the only one who noticed a huge change. After meeting a colleague for coffee (ugh, see?), the conversation kind of shifted to the topic of veneers. I told her I would if the procedure didn’t seem so intense, to which she replied “Um, you already look like you have veneers – your teeth are so white!”

The compliment was all I needed to go back and order another tube of Hello Antiplaque toothpaste. This time, I looked carefully at all the ingredients and their benefits—invigorating peppermint, odor-enhancing tea tree oil, moisturizing coconut oil—along with what it doesn’t have, which are dyes, peroxide, SLS sulfates, parabens, microbeads, triclosan and gluten. It’s also vegan, fluoride-free and, judging by the reviews, has quite a fan base.
“My son turned me on to this toothpaste,” wrote one happy customer on Amazon. “I am a tea drinker and have noticed a significant difference in the whiteness of my teeth since using this! I like the product and the taste is not overpowering. Buy it!”
Others noted that it is gentle enough to use if you have some sensitivity.
“Definitely helped my oral health a lot!!” said another reviewer. “I am extremely sensitive to my gums and teeth and this is so much better than the regular top brands out there in all areas, even with pain caused by sensitivity and tartar build up from crutches and prevent it too… I recommend it to everyone for sure.”
Additional reviews noted that it tastes refreshing without being too minty, doesn’t burn like other toothpastes, and a tube lasts more than three months. Luckily, when you buy Hello’s toothpaste, you can choose between a solo option ($7) or order a three-pack, so you can stock up for a while.
I will add that my favorite review of the bunch was someone talking about the whitening benefits and how they love that Hello toothpaste is “not part of the media hype.” It really is a well-kept secret – and, unfortunately for them, I’m advertising it now!
