I was going to get this crest toothpaste today which stated that it "whitens" your teeth. My mother said that i shouldn't get those teeth whitening toothpastes because they're bad for your teeth. So i just switched to this colgate one that supposedly just cleans your teeth well. Why exactly is whitening toothpaste bad for your teeth?
--------------------
Whitening toothpaste is not "bad" for you....but for people with sensitive teeth, it is more abrasive which can make teeth more sensitive. Whitening toothpaste really does not "whiten" your teeth significantly, but it does help prevent additional staining because of its abrasiveness and take care of very minimal surface stains. Any toothpaste you can buy at the drugstore will not hurt your teeth, so use what you are comfortable with. Colgate is great, so you did make a good choice. =)
