Safe teeth whitening is possible!

I can't even tell you guys how many times I've been THIS close to using those toxic bleach treatments for teeth whitening, but thankfully every time something stopped me…

  • It could be that over the years I've been trying to get away from bleach around the house–I'm down to just a splash every few months in our laundry, and it's very rare to use it for any cleaning these days.
  • Or maybe it's that we pay for filters to keep the Chlorine out of our drinking water and showering water.

Yes, bleach whitens faster and brighter than the peroxide-based strips, but the thought of putting toxic bleach into my mouth on purpose just grosses me out.  These strips also may strip your tooth enamel and make your teeth more prone to restaining and becoming extremely sensitive.

But the peroxide-based strips are also known to cause sensitivity in your teeth and gums, not to mention the other iffy ingredients you'll be ingesting.  

I just knew there had to be other options, so I started experimenting with quite a few and I'm so glad I did!

My safe teeth whitening tools are helping!

It's a slower process than the results I could get with the strips, but the safer products I've been using ARE working since I've been consistent with using them.  I've noticed in recent photos that my teeth, while not perfectly sparkly white yet, are getting better.  Of course I stink at remembering to take before and after photos, but this one at least gives you an idea:

So here's what sits on my bathroom counter and how I work on teeth whitening:

safe teeth whitening

I'll share my routine and explain one-by-one what these safe teeth whitening tools are and how I use them.

You don't need to use all of these though!

You can try one at a time if you’d like–or start with one and add more as you can, but I’m inpatient and prefer to hit things from all sides, so I use a combination of products…

  • In the morning I put just a little of each of these three powders into my hand:
    • Shine toothwhitening powder in mint or cinnamon flavor (see the benefits of all of these below).  If you can only get one, I'd suggest this one for sure.
    • Regular baking soda that I put in a little container like this one for more whitening.  Some say this can be hard on your enamel, but I trust these guys and they say that as long as you don't brush your teeth too aggressively it's fine.
    • And this tooth polish (with a safe, small amount of peroxide for whitening).
  • I then add 2-3 drops of this Healthy Mouth Blend (original OR nut-free formula–again, see more about the benefits below).  Unless I'm taking homeopathic remedies for some reason, then instead I'll add 2-3 drops of this cinnamon or lemon essential oil drops.  (Because mint can antidote homeopathics–> read more here.  Just be sure to dilute any essential oils before using to brush with.)
  • I wet my toothbrush and get all of this paste on and brush my front teeth first, then the rest.
  • On alternate mornings or when I'm in a hurry, I use this whitening toothpaste, because sometimes you just want a toothpaste!  Or I'll use this lemon toothpaste if I'm taking homeopathic remedies.
  • I try to remember to rinse my mouth out after drinking my morning coffee or after having red wine, although I'm normally a white wine gal.
  • When I brush before bed I use this charcoal whitening toothpaste.  In the past I used my friend Jill's charcoal whitening powder, but it was messy.  If you want to save some money you could try that though and the other options at that post.
  • See photos of all of these below and discount codes!
  • NEW:  here's a new option someone told me about–safe teeth whitening strips for faster results!  I've only tried these once and did notice a difference, but then I forgot to keep going.  I think you have to do it a few times to really see a difference.  If you try them, let me know how it goes!

How to SAVE $$$ on these safe teeth whitening tools & more about the benefits:

  • Use the code KOP to get a discount at this link to get the following:  
    • The Shine powder has white kaolin clay powder for whitening without damaging enamel, AND Hydroxyapatite for remineralizing! It lasts for a LONG time.
    • The toothbrushes we love are biodegradable and they just plain clean your teeth better because of the bristles–most toothbrushes have the bristles too close together so you can't effectively wiggle between the teeth and down into the gum line.  I just saw this on their site:  “We're donating 100% of the profits from BrushEco sales to organizations that are committed to creating and implementing solutions to our global plastic problem.”  Wow!!!
    • And the Healthy Mouth Blend fights bad breath, it's organic, gluten free, soy free, GMO free, Fluoride-free (Fluoride can cause mottling on teeth over time), SLS free, and NO additives, toxins, ‘questionable ingredients', or artificial anything!
  • Use the code KOP for 15% off on new orders at this link to get the following:
    • The charcoal whitening toothpaste pulls out toxins, it's Fluoride-free–no poison control warning needed like in conventional toothpastes!
    • The whitening toothpaste is also Fluoride-free, and has the Hydroxyapatite for remineralizing.
    • The silk antimicrobial dental floss has a safe wax so it glides nicely.
    • The safer flosser picks are non-toxic and biodegradable too!
    • The kids strawberry toothpaste has the same safe ingredients as the adult formulas, with a flavor kids often like better than mint.
    • Try their new probiotic mints to help with a healthy gut!

      I can’t narrow it down to ONE, but I can narrow it down to two:

      The Shine powder for the scrubbing & whitening power of those ingredients and the Wellnesse whitening toothpaste for when I’m in a hurry but still want whitening. 🙂
