How We Chose the Best Teeth Whitening Products

We considered the following key factors when choosing the best teeth whitening products by SNOW. 

Ingredients

The ingredients list is the resume of any teeth-whitening product, letting you know that a brand is crafting whitening solutions that are dentist-approved, effective and safe to use. 

For instance, our products are specially formulated using hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyapatite and potassium nitrate to protect your tooth enamel and gums and efficiently whiten your teeth. Our products also contain soothing and delicious ingredients like mint and aloe to make the whitening process a truly refreshing experience. 

Ease Of Use

The best products are those that seamlessly fit into your daily routine. Consider factors like application time, whether it's a strip, gel, or tray system, and if it requires any special aftercare. A product that's easy to use ensures consistent application, leading to better whitening results.

Take our whitening foam for instance. It doubles as both a whitening toothpaste and a dental device cleaner for your braces and aligners. It slots easily into your morning and nightly brushing routine, helping you create a healthier and whiter smile 24-7.

Affordability

Price doesn't always equate to quality. While it's essential to invest in a good product, it shouldn't break the bank. Compare different products within your budget range and see which offers the best value for money.

That’s where our at-home teeth whitening kit takes center stage. Our diamond version is at the forefront of LED whitening technology, offering you professional-level results for a fraction of the cost (for only $99) in comparison with professional whitening treatments, which often cost $800 and higher. 

Awards

Awards and recognitions are a testament to a product's efficacy and popularity. If a whitening product has received accolades from dental associations or beauty experts, it's a good indicator of its quality and effectiveness.

SNOW’s whitening products have been featured on the Ellen show in recent years. We are also the proud recipients of numerous awards in 2022, including ‘Best Toothbrush Of The Year’ by Beauty Innovation and ‘Best At-Home Whitening Kit For Lasting Results’ by ELLE Magazine. 

Our brand speaks volumes on our experience and expertise in cosmetic dentistry, and we’re happy to share our very best whitening solutions with you. 

The Best Over-the-Counter Tooth Whitening Products

Let’s talk about the best OTC tooth whitening products that SNOW has to offer:

SNOW Teeth Whitening Kit

Our teeth whitening kit is undoubtedly the best teeth whitening kit on the market. It contains everything you need for a long-lasting, beautiful smile, from the LED light to the desensitizing gel and whitening serum.

Our LED light technology works by activating the active ingredients in the whitening serum to target and remove tough intrinsic stains. And because our products are designed with sensitivity in mind, you won’t experience any discomfort when using this kit.

With 75 treatments per kit, you can get up to 14 shades whiter with just one purchase. And, as we mentioned before, these products are created with sensitivity in mind. Their formula is free of harsh ingredients that could damage your teeth or gums.

One thing we loved about this product is that it's highly effective for anyone who has dietary restrictions. It's vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and doesn't contain any animal byproducts or parabens.

We’re huge fans of the bonus teeth-whitening wands that come with our kit. They’re perfect for touching up your smile throughout the day or taking care of hard-to-reach areas in your mouth.

Magic Teeth Whitening Strips

Our whitening strips for teeth are one of the most popular and affordable ways to get whiter teeth. They’re easy to apply, great at removing stains, and gentle on sensitive teeth.

The Magic Teeth Whitening Strips contain enamel-safe hydrogen peroxide to whiten your teeth without any sensitivity or irritation. Plus, they're fast-acting and give you visibly whiter teeth in as little as 14 days.

Our thorough review of this product found that it contains patented P3 Technology®, a rare combination of natural ingredients that soften and form a protective coating on your teeth.

With a reported 100% teeth whitening power, our magical teeth whitening strips are your go-to option for fast and reliable results. Also, our customers have noted how easy it is to use and praised its delicious lavender and minty flavor.

SNOW Whitening Foam

If you want a reliable tooth whitening product that won't cause sensitivity, then look no further than our whitening teeth foam. It’s easy and fast to use, with natural ingredients to safely remove tooth stains without irritating your gums or enamel. Just brush your teeth twice daily with this foaming whitener to achieve a brighter, whiter smile.

The foaming formulation prevents enamel erosion, while its light mint flavor leaves your mouth feeling refreshed. Plus, it's safe to use with braces, crowns, veneers, bridges, or sensitive teeth. You can use this foam as a gentle whitening toothpaste for everyday use, with visible whitening results in just a few days. 

It contains hydroxyapatite and arginine. Hydroxyapatite is a natural mineral that smooths and polishes the surface of your teeth, while arginine, an amino acid, strengthens enamel. With regular use, these two powerhouses work together with other ingredients like hydrogen peroxide, mentha piperita, sodium cocoyl glutamate, and glycerin to make your smile brighter and whiter.

Magic Teeth Whitening Powder

Our whitening powder for teeth is another great option to whiten teeth, especially when dealing with tooth sensitivity. Use it daily for maximum results and to effectively remove surface stains from the tooth enamel. Its active ingredients, like baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, and hydrogen peroxide, are 100% natural and safe to use.

Magic Teeth Whitening Powder is clinically proven to reduce surface stains and discoloration while also preventing further staining. Using this powder is super easy. Simply sprinkle it over your daily toothpaste and brush your teeth as usual. It doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or toxins, and it’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free. 

Our magical teeth-whitening powder is made with a blend of natural ingredients, including oat starch, silicon dioxide, and globulus leaf extract. They work synergistically to remove stains and discoloration from your tooth enamel, leaving you with a brighter smile. As a dental-formulated powder, it keeps your teeth healthy and reduces sensitivity.

Arctic Frost Teeth Whitening Mouthwash 

Our tooth whitening mouthwash is the ultimate on-the-go solution for anyone struggling with stained teeth. It’s a great addition to your regular dental routine that effectively refreshes your smile without using abrasive products or chemicals.

Arctic Frost Teeth Whitening Mouthwash is an excellent choice for anyone with sensitive teeth too. Our fluoride-free mouthwash uses natural ingredients to safely and effectively whiten your teeth, all while giving your enamel long-term protection from discoloration. 

Its powerful hydrogen peroxide formula removes surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, and smoking in just one use, so you can show off that pearly white smile quickly and easily.

The low-foaming formula also contains anti-inflammatory ingredients that soothe mouth irritations, making it gentle enough for those with sensitive teeth. Plus, its cool mint flavor leaves your breath fresh and your mouth feeling clean all day long.

Our daily whitening toothpaste not only makes your teeth up to seven shades whiter, but also fights stains and offers long-lasting freshness to help you achieve whitening results of the highest caliber.

It’s sulfate and fluoride free and gentle on dental enamel. Additionally, it’s proudly created in the USA in an eco-friendly facility and is free from animal cruelty.

LED Whitening Electric Toothbrush

Our electric toothbrush is an essential tool for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. LED Whitening Electric Toothbrush comes equipped with a blue LED light for whitening, a built-in timer to help you brush for the recommended two minutes, and a whitening mode that removes up to 100% of surface stains. The bristles are ultra-soft but effective at cleaning even the most sensitive teeth.

It has four unique modes: Whitening, Deep Cleaning, Sensitive, and Polish, helping you customize your brushing experience with a personalized cleaning for your teeth and gums. What we love most about our whitening toothbrush is its unique sonic technology. The sonic vibrations deeply clean and whiten your teeth with a gentle and effective brushing action.

Best Teeth Whitening Products to Use at Home(FAQs)

How Can I Use Teeth Whitening Kits Effectively?

You can use teeth-whitening kits effectively with a little patience and diligence. Start by reading the manufacturer's instructions because application methods can vary from product to product. 

First, you'll start by cleaning your teeth, then applying the whitening solution or strip as directed. When you’re done, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking while the product is on your teeth. Consistent use over the recommended period is key for best results.

Is At-Home Tooth Whitening Safe?

Yes, at-home teeth whitening is safe when used as directed. Most products contain peroxide-based bleaching agents that are approved for oral use. However, overuse or misuse can lead to tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. If you have oral health issues like gum disease or cavities, first consult a dentist before starting any whitening regimen.

How Can You Prevent Tooth Sensitivity?

You can prevent tooth sensitivity by practicing good oral hygiene, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, and avoiding excessively hot or cold foods and drinks. Use a teeth-whitening product that contains ingredients like potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride to help reduce sensitivity. If the sensitivity persists like a bad rash, then get a dentist on speed dial pronto.

Why Are Your Teeth Sensitive After Whitening?

You often feel increased sensitivity after whitening your teeth because of the whitening agents and active ingredients. They penetrate the tooth enamel to reach the discolored molecules in the dentin beneath. This temporary increase in enamel porosity makes your teeth more susceptible to temperature and pressure changes, which causes sensitivity.

Which Ingredients Can Cause Tooth Sensitivity?

The main ingredients in teeth whitening products that can cause tooth sensitivity are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. They break down stains but can also temporarily increase the porosity of the tooth enamel, leading to sensitivity. The higher the concentration of these ingredients, the greater the potential for sensitivity.

How Long Do Teeth Whitening Products Work?

The effect of teeth-whitening products typically lasts 6–12 months, depending on your oral hygiene practices and dietary habits. Consuming staining substances like coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco can make teeth discolor quicker. Regular touch-ups can help the whitening effect last longer.
