Whitening toothpaste generally have two methods of action:
1. Bleaching agents: Chemicals that break down "coloring" molecules.
2. Abrasives: physical removal of stains by the addition of "rough" substances.
Whitening toothpaste generally lack scientific research. Most statistics quoted are poor studies sponsored by dental companies with very subjective results from a low number of participants.
This is not to say that bleaching agents and abrasives are ineffective. Due to health and safety regulations for non-prescription health products, the amount of "whitening" chemicals added are low.
