These devices often include a self-timer to inform the user when the two minutes for brushing are up.

Some whitening toothpastes have abrasive ingredients that can make a toothpaste seem gritty or grainy. You'll want to consider the feel of the toothpaste to make regular brushing as comfortable as possible.

While you brush away plaque and debris and prevent cavities, the addition of whitening ingredients like hydrogen peroxide can also remove stains caused by things like drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or even smoking. “Most toothpastes, whether they're labeled whitening or not, have some kind of a mild abrasive in them to safely remove surface stains from the teeth,” says Edmond Hewlett, DDS, professor at the UCLA School of Dentistry and consumer advisor for the American Dental Association (ADA). The toothpaste has a fresh mint flavor that doesn't overpower and is a significant improvement over other natural toothpastes that often have a baking soda-like taste.
