Could your smile be brighter? Find out how to turn your smile from drab to dazzling, just by adding some brightening power to your regular oral care routine.
The easiest ways to brighten your teeth are to floss daily, see your dentist regularly and brush with a whitening toothpaste. The use of a whitening toothpaste like Colgate® Optic White® can help to remove mild surface stains that stem from the delicious but discoloring things we consume every day, like coffee, tea and dark colored foods.

Brushing with a normal toothpaste can help keep your teeth clean and white; all toothpastes have mild whitening benefits. Abrasive action and polishing from brushing, along with a professional dentist cleaning, are effective methods for removing some external stains.
A whitening toothpaste contains additional chemical or polishing agents to help make teeth whiter. Brush twice daily with a whitening toothpaste that also helps to fight cavities and reduces plaque, and you'll not only be whitening your teeth, but also practicing good dental care.
