There are two kinds of tooth discolouration, and they respond to very different things. Knowing which one you are dealing with saves a lot of money on products that were never going to help.
Surface stains sit on the enamel and come from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco. These are exactly what thorough daily brushing removes, and a sonic brush with a whitening mode does it well, lifting the film that dulls your teeth so the natural shade shows through.
Intrinsic colour is different. It lives inside the tooth, set by genetics, age or medication, and no brush changes it. That is the job of peroxide-based whitening, and it is worth being honest with yourself about which one you actually have.
For most people the everyday win is real and unglamorous: keep the surface clean, ease off the staining habits where you can, and your natural shade looks brighter without bleaching anything.
