Market Insights
Rising Awareness for Oral Hygiene

Oral and dental hygiene is essential to avoid oral diseases. Good oral health can be achieved by maintaining good habits and hygiene. Extrinsic teeth stains are defined as the staining of the surface of the teeth. Extrinsic tooth stains are usually caused due to consumption of tobacco and frequent consumption of coffee, tea, wine, or cola drinks. Staining below the surface of the tooth is termed intrinsic tooth staining. Furthermore, poor dental hygiene, such as inadequate flossing and brushing, leads to tooth discoloration. Various diseases that affect the teeth enamel and dentin can also result in tooth discoloration. To increase awareness about oral hygiene and teeth whitening, many private and government organizations conduct conferences, surveys, and programs worldwide to decrease the risks of oral diseases. For instance, in June 2019, Teeth Whitening Day Conference by London Dental Specialists was conducted in London, England. In addition, the Dental Education Conference conducted its 25th International conference on Dental Education in July 2020 in Florence, Italy. The conference focused on key topics such as laser dentistry, nano dentistry, tooth whitening, and pediatric dentistry. Such factors have assisted the global teeth whitening market in the recent past and is expected to continue a similar trend over the forecast period.

Boom in Cosmetic Dentistry

Dentists have a wide range of equipment and systems which enhance the look of a patient’s teeth. Cosmetic dentistry has gained enormous popularity; it includes techniques such as whitening, shaping, closing spaces, and substituting teeth. Over time, teeth become discolored or stained due to smoking and consuming medications, foods, tea, coffee, and other food products. Using a whitening process, the dentist bleaches teeth. The dentists can perform procedures or provide products to use at home for whitening purposes. Teeth whitening procedures will never go out of demand, as most patients opt for procedures that give natural-looking white teeth that are not overly white. Super-white teeth also weaken the enamel and are observed as heavily treated teeth. Advancements in cosmetic dentistry have led to options where patients can ask for healthy and naturally white teeth. Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments among men and women, as these processes are affordable and effective. Such factors have aided the growth of global teeth whitening market.

According to the 2015 State of the Cosmetic Dentistry Industry survey, patients were seeking cosmetic dentistry procedures for several reasons such as to enhance physical attractiveness and self-esteem; for restorative or health reasons; to look younger; and for anticipated upcoming events such as marriage. Thus, cosmetic dentistry is a rapidly growing field in the dental industry. Cosmetic dentistry is flourishing and is anticipated to grow significantly due to advancements in dental technology, such as 3D printing, veneers, whitening solutions, and the growing aging population.

Product-Based Insights

Based on the product, the global teeth whitening market is segmented into whitening toothpaste, whitening gels and strips, white light teeth whitening device, and others. In 2022, the whitening toothpaste segment held the largest share of the market. Whitening toothpaste is a paste that lightens the stains on teeth and brightens teeth over some time. The number of teeth whitening options available today is attracting several consumers. The increasing popularity of teeth whitening products has prompted many manufacturers to develop products for over-the-counter and dental office use. However, whitening toothpaste is not as fast and effective as whitening strips or professional dental treatments, but it can whiten teeth over a period of time. Moreover, growing awareness about the whitening toothpaste is likely to propel the global teeth whitening market during the forecast period.
