You head to the supermarket, find the dental hygiene aisle, and stumble across the almost overwhelming selection of different toothpastes. But which one do you choose?
Some offer increased protection against decay whilst others promise a better defence against gum disease consider the following to make your whitening journey seamless.
Considerations To Make When Choosing A Whitening Toothpaste
Each brand has its own formula and chemicals included in their product – and they’ll all proclaim to give you those pearly whites you so desire. However, you should consider the following before purchasing a whitening toothpaste
Results
First you must understand what result you are looking for - do you have stains that need removing? Or are you looking to whiten the tooth itself? If you’re seeking stain removal then consider trying a whitening toothpaste with activated charcoal to obliterate those stains. Check White Glo’s whitening toothpaste range for yourself!
Enamel Health
Enamel Health is critical to your overall dental hygiene - improper use of whitening products can erode your enamel further - leaving you with sensitive teeth. If you want to ensure your six points of daily protection are covered, it’s important you select a toothpaste with fluoride to fortify your enamel, protecting you from decay and increased staining.
Gum Irritation
Whitening toothpastes with harsh whitening chemicals can leave your gums irritated, causing a host of other dental issues. Select a whitening toothpaste that has been specifically created to tackle gum disease and overall gum health. Try White Glo’s Gum Health Whitening Toothpaste option!
How To Get The Most From Your Whitening Toothpaste
Drinking coffee, wine, or smoking can reduce the effectiveness of your whitening toothpaste. It’s best to limit your consumption of these stain-prone products on your whitening journey. If you consume a stain-prone product, ensure you brush your teeth 30 minutes afterwards to minimise staining. For those seeking a more professional whitening product, check out White Glo’s Professional White toothpaste.

What causes yellow and brown stains on teeth?
Yellow or brown staining on teeth is commonly caused by foods and beverages that contain high amounts of tea, coffee, red wine or tobacco. When these substances come into contact with our tooth enamel they can create dark spots on them. It’s important to keep in mind that these stains can only be removed by professional dental services; however, there are a few ways we can prevent stains from forming in our everyday lives.
Prevention
Many people don’t realize that stains can penetrate enamel and settle in between one tooth and another. These stains are also known as tetracycline or pit-and-fissure discoloration. With our safe and dentist approved system, our whitening solution allows you to remove these stains using the latest technology.
What to look for in a teeth whitening system
Ideally you want something safe and gentle enough to use every day as part of your self care routine. Here at White Glo we have a new range of teeth whitening toothpastes and teeth whitening kits harnessing the power of advanced whitening technologies. These products are all safe and gentle enough to use every day as part of your self care routine. We know this is important because dental hygiene is all about consistency and regularly keeping up with your healthy habits.
Developed by Australian dentists
We partnered up with some Australia’s best dentists to develop this at-home whitening system that achieves incredibly results. Formulated with the same ingredients they used in their clinics to provide professional whitening safely and without sensitivity at home. Using dentist technology, the blue spectrum helps to activate the White Glo Advanced Whitening Serum to accelerate the removal of stains, yellowing and discolouration.
What are you waiting for? When it is this easy and convenient to get fast teeth whitening results at home, it’s time to put some extra focus on keeping those pearly whites sparkling. Take your dental care to the next level with White Glo’s self care bundle which features Plus Teeth Whitening Kit and Pro White Toothpaste for a whiter smile.
]]>Australian oral care brand White Glo has developed a teeth whitening innovation that ticks every box for the sustainable and mindful passenger. The dentist-developed and dentist-approved toothpaste tablet formula delivers a safe and gentle whitening effect with fluoride protection – and absolutely zero plastic packaging.
White Glo worked with renowned Australian celebrity dentist Dr. Aodhan Docherty to create the daily whitening formula. Part of the White Glo Professional White range, each vegan Bite & Brush Toothpaste Tablet contains White Glo's exclusive '5x WHITER TECHNOLOGIES'.
The proprietary blend of ingredients includes natural enzymes and soft polishing particles, promising "whiter, faster, gentler" results, according to the White Glo press release. These tablets are formulated with fluoride for optimal oral protection – and without gluten, sugar, or SLS. And just like every White Glo toothpaste formula, each tablet delivers six points of daily tooth protection for healthy teeth, including enamel safety and gum health.
The Bite & Brush Toothpaste Tablets substitute traditional toothpaste. Twice a day, put one tablet in mouth, chew, and begin brushing with a wet toothbrush. After brushing for two minutes, rinse mouth with water. The Fresh Mint flavor leaves a light scent for lasting freshness.
The tablets are available in 100 percent bio-degradable packaging, perfect for travel.
In addition to this development, White Glo has set a major milestone: by 2024, it aims to become Australia's most sustainable oral care brand by changing the toothpaste tube and packaging to 100 percent bio-degradable. Aiming to be the most sustainable oral care brand in Australian major supermarket chains, the tablets product range has reduced White Glo's plastic footprint by 68 percent. White Glo has also partnered with CleanHub to help recover the equivalent plastic waste in oceans for the new range.
The tablets are vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, SLS-free, and plastic-free.

Start with a morning routine
Having healthy habits in place when you wake up is an important way to start your day off right. This way, you won’t have to focus as much on changing your behaviour—it will just be what you do. Here are a few simple things you can do in order to create good habits for your body and mind - Set your alarm 15 minutes earlier than usual. Instead of snoozing until you have to get out of bed, use that time to prepare yourself for a productive day ahead by doing something small like drinking water or meditating. If waking up early isn’t realistic for you at first, try setting multiple alarms before you head to bed until it becomes easier.
Exercise daily
Whether it’s running, yoga, or simply taking a stroll around the block, make exercise part of your daily routine. Exercise not only promotes a healthy body but also aids in higher levels of concentration and productivity, as well as an overall sense of wellbeing. The best way to keep up with your workout is to plan for it and ensure you stick with it for at least 30 minutes each day. Just a 30 minutes walk each day can dramatically improve your mindset and physical health.
A good dental hygiene routine
Brushing your teeth twice daily prevents cavities, gingivitis, bad breath and gum disease. You should brush your teeth at least once a day, but after every meal is even better. By doing so you will be protecting your oral health from decay as well as preventing inflammation of gum tissue known as gingivitis. You should also floss at least once daily; flossing helps prevent tooth decay by removing plaque and food particles from between your teeth. To take your dental care to the next level, check out White Glo’s new toothpaste range for the safest, most gentle and effective whitening toothpaste yet. Safe to use everyday, the new toothpaste range is a game changer when it comes to maintaining a healthy and bright smile year round.
Get enough sleep
Most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Sleep allows your body and mind to rest, recuperate, and restore energy levels. Not getting enough sleep on a regular basis makes you more likely to experience depression and anxiety. Take time for yourself every day by setting aside at least eight hours for sleep (nine hours if you’re 65 or older). Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool; it may also help to remove electronic devices from your bedroom at night to avoid distraction and help you focus on what’s important - a good night’s rest!

]]>Taking care of yourself can seem like something you’re just not good at, or maybe even something you don’t have time to do in your daily life. But the truth is that practising self care isn’t about spending hours relaxing in the tub; it’s about actively putting your own needs first, especially when it comes to your health and happiness.
It can be hard to practice self care when you’re busy with work and life, but in order to live your best life, it’s important to make time for yourself every day. Here are five easy ways to practice self care that can fit into even the busiest schedule, so that you can maintain your health and happiness.
1. Meditate
Meditation is a great way to take care of your mental and emotional health. In a world where we’re always on, it’s incredibly important to be able to switch off, just for an hour or two. Meditation can help with that by reducing stress and anxiety while also helping you feel more alert and focused when you get back into work. Never meditated before? It’s actually pretty easy! Simply sit or lie still and try to focus on one thing, such as your breath, and let your thoughts slowly drift away. It can take a bit of practice to rid your mind of all thoughts while meditating, but once you get there, the bliss pays off.
2. Gratitude journaling
Gratitude journaling can help you enjoy and appreciate what you already have. It helps bring more joy, fun, and peace into your life. The practice is simple—simply write down three things you are grateful for at the end of each day. Studies show that regular gratitude journaling can increase happiness, boost energy levels, improve relationships, and reduce depression. Plus, there’s no wrong way to do it!
3. Upgrade your dental care
We can seem so focussed on other aspects of health like our skincare routine or workout regime, that often our dental hygiene takes a backseat. Put some extra focus on keeping those pearly whites sparkling by taking your dental care to the next level. Use White Glo’s self care bundle which features the Plus Teeth Whitening Kit and Pro White Toothpaste for improved oral health and an overall whiter smile. It’s easy as 1,2,3. Simply brush with the Pro White Toothpaste, use the Plus Teeth Whitening Kit for 10 minutes, and say hello to your new white smile! The best part is that it’s safe for everyday use, so you’re guaranteed to have a confident, sparkling smile year round.
4. Morning stretches
Start your day off right with some simple stretches to get your blood flowing and then focus on breathing deeply for a few moments. You don’t have to do anything special; simply sitting quietly will work wonders for your body and mind.
5. Mindfulness
It’s hard to unwind when your mind is full of stress. One of the best ways to practice self care is through mindfulness. This can come in many forms; meditation, yoga, mindfulness walks or even just being present when cooking dinner or chatting with a friend. Whatever form it takes, there are many benefits of practising mindfulness; it has been shown to decrease stress and improve mood and focus. And you don’t have to commit a lot of time to do it! If you find yourself racing through your day, know that mindfulness can help bring a sense of balance back into your life. Spend just five minutes mindfully going through your routine in the morning and you’ll be less stressed out all day long.

When it comes to dental care, you want to make sure that you are as informed as possible about the different types of toothpaste on the market. After all, even if you try to get by with cheap toothpaste, chances are you’ll end up paying more in the long run when your teeth need serious work done to them. These days, one of the more popular kinds of toothpaste is Activated Charcoal Toothpaste, but not everybody is aware of what this type of toothpaste does, or why it’s so effective in keeping your teeth healthy and clean.
We have formulated an Activated Charcoal Toothpaste with 5x whiter technology, a new whitening system that we’ve added to all of our new toothpaste formulas. You can look low and high but won’t find anything more effective at removing deep stains and whitening. Need more convincing? We have listed five of the key benefits you might not know about charcoal toothpaste to help you make the most of your daily teeth brushing routine!
Natural Whitening with Charcoal
The natural whitening capabilities of charcoal are unmatched. Did you know that charcoal toothpaste can whiten your teeth by several shades? Even if you think your teeth are already white, there’s likely some lingering discoloration in areas between your teeth or on less visible areas of your mouth. Since it’s so gentle, many people also find Activated Charcoal Toothpaste preferable to more abrasive alternatives (like charcoal powders and gels) if they have sensitive gums. If you want whiter teeth with minimal time investment, charcoal is a great choice!
Removes Toxic Plaque from Teeth
The mineral makeup of Activated Charcoal Toothpaste can draw toxins out of pores, removing toxic plaque from teeth and gums. It’s been shown to be especially helpful in removing smoking stains from teeth. When considering a new toothpaste, it may be worth checking out charcoal-based toothpastes for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties.
Prevents Gum Disease
It may seem counterintuitive, but your pearly whites will be healthier and whiter when you brush them regularly with Activated Charcoal Toothpaste. The minerals pull out toxins from between your teeth and along your gum line, keeping gingivitis at bay. As a result, you’ll have a naturally brighter smile!
Non-Toxic & Helps with Sensitivity
If you have sensitive teeth, your dentist may prescribe a type of toothpaste that contains potassium nitrate, or novocaine. This ingredient can help numb your enamel—which can help with that pesky sensitivity pain—but it doesn’t do much for preventing cavities. If you need something to soothe those pangs, look for Activated Charcoal Toothpaste.
Not all teeth whitening products are created equal, but know that Activated Charcoal Toothpaste has long been hailed as an incredible teeth whitener (in addition to its other benefits).
What causes yellow and brown stains on teeth?
Yellow or brown staining on teeth is commonly caused by foods and beverages that contain high amounts of tea, coffee, red wine or tobacco. When these substances come into contact with our tooth enamel they can create dark spots on the surface of your teeth. Previously, dental stains were only treatable by dental professionals, but thanks to sophisticated at-home teeth whitening systems such as our new Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit, it’s easy to eliminate stains from the comfort of your home!
Things to love about the Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit
RED and BLUE light spectrum technology
We combined the whitening power of both red and blue light technology into the Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit. These two light spectrums work together with the new advanced whitening serum to provide you with powerful whitening results. Unlike other harsher whitening kits on the market, the Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit gently lifts stains and removes yellowing on the surface of your teeth enamel safely, preventing any damage while whitening your teeth.
PAP whitening technology
If you’re looking for a fast and effective way to brighten your smile without resorting to harsh chemicals, you may want to consider a revolutionary new type of tooth whitening system – called PAP. PAP stands for Peroxide Activated Protein and Natural Enzymes and provides you with noticeable results from the first treatment. All of White Glo’s new Teeth Whitening Kits utilise PAP technology.
Developed by Australian dentists
We partnered up with some of Australia’s leading dentists, Dr. Aodhan Docherty and Dr. Georgios Sotiropoulos, to develop a new range of Teeth Whitening Kits that gently yet effectively whiten teeth, and are safe for everyday use. Using dentist technology in the Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit, the blue and red light spectrum helps to activate the White Glo Advanced Whitening Serum to accelerate the removal of stains, yellowing and discolouration.
Removes the toughest teeth stains
Many people don’t realise that stains can actually penetrate teeth enamel and settle in between one tooth and another. These stains are also known as tetracycline or pit-and-fissure discoloration. With our safe and dentist approved system, the Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit allows you to remove these stains using the latest red and blue light technology.
Convenient USB charging
Now you can bring White Glo wherever you go and brighten your smile with the Advanced Teeth Whitening Kit whenever you find a moment to spare in your day. Convenient USB charging means you will always be fully charged and ready to whiten.
With each passing day, it becomes more and more clear that our planet, the only one we have to live on, is under some threat from us—humans. We have no choice but to do our part in preserving the environment or risk being left with nothing but disaster in the future. But how are we supposed to achieve this? There are quite a few things we can do, many of which are small but significant enough to make a difference if done by large groups of people or organisations. In this article, we’ll share some daily tips on how we can all contribute to a better environment around us.
What’s happening in our world?
There’s no denying that we have a global problem with pollution. Our environment will only continue to worsen if we don’t do something about it now. Luckily, we can be sustainable together—and one of those ways starts in our homes. Here at White Glo, we are committed to ensuring all of our oral care and bathroom items are not contributing to pollution of our waterways.
We are all connected to the environment in some way, and it’s important to be aware of how the choices we make affect everything around us. We at White Glo are committed to being environmentally responsible and doing our part by taking major steps forward.
White Glo have partnered with CleanHub
The Ocean Conservancy reports there are over 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans today, and sadly, that figure is rapidly rising. White Glo has partnered with CleanHub to do our part and help combat plastic pollution of our oceans. For every White Glo product sold, CleanHub will remove 1 piece of rubbish from our oceans. In addition to this, if every individual does their part, together we can reverse sea level rise as well as contribute to a sustainable future for our generation and generations to come.
Small actions make a big difference – what you can do
Although it may be difficult for some people to go green for a number of reasons (sometimes personal, sometimes due to lack of money or resources), there are still ways you can do your part as an individual. Simple daily actions can have big results. Take a small example of what you can do if you have a yard; make sure that your grass clippings and leaves are put into compost bins and not thrown away in garbage bags. You can use these compost materials in your garden and they will help fertilise it while also reducing waste in landfills.
Ensuring you support companies with the right mission statements and stance on cleaning up the environment means making a difference with your purchase decisions.
White Glo joining forces with CleanHub means we are committed to raising awareness about ocean conservation and clean-ups. Our aim is to create a brighter future with you!

]]>Few things can boost your confidence like knowing you have a winning smile, but not everyone has naturally straight, white teeth that make others take notice and admire their smile. There are many reasons why someone may want to improve the appearance of their smile, whether it’s to look better at work or simply feel more confident in public, so learning how to achieve a brighter smile is essential. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about smiling itself, as well as whitening treatments so you can learn how to get a brighter smile that makes others take notice.
The importance of a smile
Your smile is more than just a happy expression, it’s also an important indicator of your health and overall well-being. When you are happy and smiling, others take note and it changes the way people interact with you, which in turn helps you feel better about yourself and your life. Even if you don’t have perfect teeth or gums, there are simple ways to improve your smile and boost your confidence and the way you present yourself to the world around you.
Smiling makes you appear more confident
Experts say that smiling boosts our body’s levels of serotonin, which improves mood and self-esteem. And because people with greater self-confidence seem more attractive, we’re perceived as being more confident when we flash those pearly whites. So, make sure you always have a positive outlook and maintain good posture; doing so will keep you feeling great about yourself, inside and out.
Smiling improves your mood
Did you know that only 10 minutes with a smile can make you feel more positive? Smiling stimulates nerves connected to blood vessels under your skin, which releases endorphins. These natural chemicals trigger happy feelings that give you an instant mood lift. And they can help others around you, too. A recent study showed people perceive those who are smiling as more friendly and approachable than those with straight faces or frowns.
Teeth whitening for a brighter smile
Over time, plaque build-up and tooth discoloration can make teeth appear dull. Whitening treatments help eliminate stains and bring out an even, white shade. With the White Glo Self Care Plus Bundle, it’s easier than ever to brighten up! This all in one teeth whitening kit and toothpaste bundle is everything you need to get a pearly white smile that will catch gazes.
We hope these tips have helped to inspire you to have a beautiful smile that can help your confidence from the inside out.
