What brand of toothpaste whitens your teeth the best?
Are your teeth yellowed and stained? Do you wish to have pearly white teeth? There are so many whitening toothpaste options on the shelf, but which one works the best? What ingredients should you look for in toothpaste? A tooth is made of many different parts: the root, the pulp, the dentin, and the gum tissue. The crown is the top part of the tooth above the gum, and it is covered by the enamel. Enamel is the hardest substance in your body, almost as hard as a rock. This enamel can become stained if not taken care of properly.
