Teeth whitening powder 'so effective' on yellowing even shoppers over 60 'love' it

As we age, one part of the body we tend to neglect is our teeth, but looking after those pearly whites is more important than ever in later life. Specialists from MySweetSmile (MSS) explain that with age, dental enamel naturally becomes thinner and increasingly porous, absorbing years of discolouration from tea, coffee, wine and various foods. "This makes whitening both more desirable and more risky with the wrong products," an MSS specialist said. The brand's Teeth Whitening Powder is currently available for £19.99, reduced from £24.99 on Amazon (representing a 20 percent saving for customers), with a formulation that avoids numerous problematic ingredients potentially present in alternative teeth whitening products.

For instance, peroxide-based formulations can penetrate thinned enamel and trigger sensitivity or discomfort, according to MySweetSmile. Such products may also contain abrasive components like charcoal, which physically wear away enamel, alongside harsh chemicals that can lead to gum inflammation, particularly with receding gumlines - a frequent occurrence amongst older individuals. "MySweetSmile's formula is specifically designed to avoid these risks," the brand confirmed. According to the manufacturer, the Teeth Whitening Powder is '100 percent peroxide free', capable of brightening teeth without compromising or weakening enamel.

"It is non-abrasive and dissolves stains rather than scraping them off," according to MySweetSmile. It is also "enhanced with Strontium Chloride", which creates a protective layer over nerve endings to prevent sensitivity, with the brand claiming it has 100 percent zero gum irritation across all clinical trial participants, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The powder underwent clinical testing by Dermatest Germany, and over 95 percent of participants experienced zero sensitivity following 28 days of daily use.

The product is available in two flavour options: mint or strawberry, both identically priced. To apply it, customers simply dip their toothbrush into the container, brush for two minutes, and repeat twice weekly - allowing the results to develop gradually.

For alternative choices, Smile Therapy offers the PAP+ Teeth Whitening Powder at £19.99, reduced from £39.99. This variant reportedly helps diminish and prevent surface stains and yellowing, whilst also lifting dullness caused by coffee or wine - each container provides a six-month supply.

For a premium alternative, Lookfantastic stocks the Spotlight Oral Care 14 Day Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips and Ultra Whitening Toothpaste Kit for £44.95 on its website. This combination is said to visibly eliminate stains, strengthen enamel and support overall oral health.

The MySweetSmile Teeth Whitening Powder has received excellent ratings on Trustpilot and is a number-one best-seller. One satisfied customer, Susan, said: "The delivery was exceptionally quick. Wow!

"I really can't believe the difference after one 4-minute brush. Most definitely whiter and my bottom teeth now match my top bridge.

"I thought the yellowing was more due to age (I'm 73) but this has proved that the yellowing is all to do with staining. I'm definitely a convert."

Another customer in their sixties remarked: "Had no hope for my teeth as I'm *ahem 60+ and over the years my teeth have yellowed with age. They're not actually stained as such.

"Omg! From the first try I could see a difference!" another further 60-year-old customer noted. "The teeth whitening powder actually does work, even on this 60-year-old."

However, not every product suits everyone, as one person explained: "I have only just started using the whitening powder. It tastes quite pleasant but need to use it a few more times to hopefully see a result."

Someone else wrote: "The whitening powder was easy to order and arrived as scheduled.

"I've only had it for a few days so only used it once so far. It's too early to comment at the moment on its effectiveness."

Nevertheless, the majority of users expressed satisfaction, including one customer aged 79, who stated: "The results are excellent - even on the teeth of an elderly person. As someone rapidly rising 79, my teeth aren't as good as someone much younger but MySweetSmile has gifted me brighter and whiter teeth."
