Does whitening mouthwash actually work? Brightening mouthwash can work, although results can be subtle compared to in-office treatments. These mouthwashes contain hydrogen peroxide, which can remove surface stains. It is important that you also brush your teeth and visit a dentist regularly.

A mouthwash that contains hydrogen peroxide and is used at least twice a day for three months can significantly whiten teeth. Caution: Avoid dark-colored mouthwashes; The paint can actually stain your teeth as the alcohol evaporates.
It may take up to 3 months before you notice an effect of a whitening mouthwash. Whitening mouthwashes usually contain hydrogen peroxide. You can use a whitening mouthwash daily to remove small superficial stains.
The hydrogen peroxide level in these products is too low to damage gums or oral tissues. But many rinses and whitening products can increase tooth sensitivity. And people with alcohol can cause dry mouth or irritation, says Gigi Meinecke, D.M.D., clinical instructor at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.
In-office bleaching is the fastest way to whiten teeth. With in-office bleaching, the whitening product is applied directly to the teeth. These products can be used in combination with heat, a special light, or a laser. Results are visible after just a 30-60 minute treatment.
The most important thing when using whitening mouthwash is to use it regularly (as directed). Usually this means you use it every day. It’s also important to have good general oral health, so brushing and flossing your teeth daily is also very important to getting the most out of your whitening mouthwash.
Teeth sensitivity is a possible side effect after teeth whitening and is most commonly caused by the bleaching solution used to whiten the teeth. This solution can remove minerals from tooth enamel and cause teeth to become temporarily porous, exposing microtubules inside teeth.
It is not recommended to rinse your mouth out with water after you have just used mouthwash. That’s because many mouthwashes contain ingredients like fluoride that take time to work. If you rinse your mouth immediately afterwards, the fluoride will also wash away during the rinse.
Enamel surface in the group treated with CPW Whitening Mouthwash also suffered damage as this treatment caused changes in microhardness and surface roughness.
Unfortunately, some mouthwashes can actually contribute to tooth discoloration and spoil the overall appearance of your smile. Mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) are often marketed to treat gum disease.
Whitening Toothpastes
Characteristically, whitening agents do not contain hydrogen peroxide, unlike most mouthwashes that do. For best results, brush with whitening toothpaste twice a day. With regular use over a period of 6 weeks, whitening toothpastes can make teeth significantly whiter.
