does anyone know what kind of toothpaste works better for whitening?

i really wanted to know because i bought some col-gate green mint toothpaste which said it has teeth whitening in it to make my teeth look whiter so i'm really wanting to know
--------------------
Any toothpaste brands that say they are ADA approved means that their statements have been tested by the ADA to prove that they are true. If one of those toothpastes says that they whiten teeth, then that is the best way to go. The thing is, toothpaste only removes surface stains. Teeth are naturally white underneath your enamel. If you see yellow that looks like it is under the white-looking enamel on your teeth, then that is perfectly normal. This yellowish substance is called dentin. It can be whitened through bleaching. This also dehydrates your dentin though, which is what gives it the white-looking appearance.
