There's no shortage of whitening toothpastes on the market, and all the dentists we spoke with agreed that they do work. The caveat? They'll only remove surface stains, and not actually change the color of your tooth, notes Dr. Lowenberg. In other words, if your teeth are starting to look yellowish due to age, a whitening toothpaste may not help much. That being said, they're inexpensive, super easy to use, and unlikely to cause the sensitivity that can come with some of the other, more intense whitening methods (more on those in a moment). Just make sure to use one every day in order to prevent stains from building up, advises Dr. Lowenberg.

 

Try the Colgate Optic White Renewal Toothpaste ($11 for two; amazon.com), which contains three percent hydrogen peroxide to help remove up to 10 years' worth of yellow stains. Or the cool new Hello Antiplaque + Whitening Toothpaste Tablets ($8; amazon.com) that you chew to activate. And while we're on the subject of brushing, it's important not to underestimate the impact of good dental hygiene in general. "A lot of staining residue tends to absorb into existing plaque so flossing and brushing daily will help keep stains at bay," explains Dr. Sands
