well most "whitening" toothpaste only contains abrasives (usually little "bead" like thing) that get rid of surface stains, to actually get you teeth whitened you need a toothpaste with some kind of peroxide/bleach in it (when you get them profesionally whitened they use peroxide but at a much higher concentration than any whitening toothpaste might have)

How much fluoride is in your water?

Fluoride toothpaste is a active key ingredient in toothpaste that fights cavities, gingivitis, plaque build-up, tartar and bad breath(from the bacteria in your mouth). It is in all toothpaste's such as Colgate or Crest. On the label it says not to swallow and that it should be external use, not internal. Unfortunately, according to recent studies on Oral and dental health care, people have died from ingesting fluoride toothpaste, so they are trying to come up with alternative solutions to this problem.
