Can Colgate Brilliant White change the colour of teeth?
Whitening toothpaste mainly removes surface stains and does not change the internal colour of natural teeth.
How should whitening toothpaste be used safely?
Use the product as directed with a soft brush and stop if sensitivity or gum irritation develops.
What should you do about darkening or persistent staining?
Have unexplained darkening, strong sensitivity, or persistent staining examined.
Frequently asked questions
Can home care replace an examination?
Home care can reduce irritation or plaque, but it cannot diagnose a hidden tooth, gum, or oral-tissue problem.
