YES. LoveSmiles is suitable for sensitive teeth and is safer to use with most medications, compared to peroxide.
Our products have undergone all necessary scientific testing and certifications, by both dental whitening professionals and scientists internationally, to ensure that our charcoal-based products don't damage your tooth enamel or the environment.

We believe that pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as anyone with a medical condition should always consult their healthcare professional prior to using any oral care products, even ours.
No! Our innovative activating tablet and gel paste are incredibly clean and easy to use; no more messy charcoal powder or stained bathroom sinks!
LoveSmiles stands out because not only is the range made from sustainable coconut shell charcoal, our products are dentally approved by the Australian Dental Industry Association.
Other teeth whitening products use peroxide as the main whitening ingredient. LoveSmiles is scientifically proven to have whitening capabilities comparable to harmful peroxide-based products.
And while peroxide is considered safe to use in small quantities, it is still a bleaching agent, and is therefore dangerous in large doses and toxic.
LoveSmiles Activating Tablets, Whitening Gel and Brightening Oil all use a low abrasive charcoal ingredient derived from coconut shells.
Yes! In fact, the LoveSmiles teeth whitening kit was developed to help that sort of staining, specifically.
Our founder, Urissa, suffers from Endometriosis. She found that the medication she was prescribed for her condition also caused her teeth to yellow, which is why she developed the LoveSmiles range, and why our products WORK.
Please note: no teeth whitening system provides permanent results. Our range is designed to be used every day in place of your current dental hygiene system as, when used regularly, the LoveSmiles kit will help keep that yellowing at bay.
No teeth whitening products provide permanent removal of stains - not even ours!
While teeth whitening is considered a temporary solution to removing stains, there does appear to be a residual effect when used regularly. We recommend you incorporate one or all of the LoveSmiles range into your dental hygiene routine to prevent yellowing from reoccurring.
The time it takes to see results depends on the severity and longevity of the staining.
Let’s face it and embrace it: Dental care is a lifetime commitment to yourself and your smile!

Your reward can be a bigger, whiter and brighter smile!
It is essential to choose a teeth whitening system that will give you the best result whilst being safe for your teeth and gentle on you gums.
When deciding on the best teeth whitening system for you, consider the ingredients used, the ease and convenience of the products, and the impact the products have on the environment.
We can confidently say that LoveSmiles ticks all the boxes when it comes to efficacy, convenience and sustainability.
You may see the terms 'gentle' and 'non-abrasive' used when referring to teeth whitening products.
This is referring to the abrasiveness on the tooth enamel. Just like you wouldn't use steel wool to clean your car, you wouldn't use an abrasive whitening product on your teeth!
If a product is too abrasive, long term use can damage your tooth enamel.
While they may claim otherwise, chemical- and sodium-based products are also abrasive, and this abrasion can have a weakening effect on the enamel.
Peroxide IS effective at whitening your teeth, but at what cost?
There's a reason the warning label tells you not to swallow some teeth whitening products.
At the end of the day, peroxide is a bleach.
It penetrates the surface of the enamel and, over time, will damage the enamel. The amount of damage depends on how long and often you use those peroxide-based products.
In scientific testing, baking soda is considered to be the benchmark of low and safe abrasiveness.
Although some charcoal ingredients can be very abrasive, the coconut charcoal ingredient in the LoveSmiles range has tested even lower than baking soda on the abrasive scale!
For hundreds of years, Ayurvedic Medicine has encouraged the use of pulling oil to protect and strengthen the gums.
Our Brightening Oil is designed to be used as the third step in your dental routine, after the Activating Charcoal Tablets and the Whitening Gel, or as a stand alone product to soothe gums.
It flows gently over the gums, leaving a soothing feeling and afterglow of mild mint.
Try it and see for yourself!
Yes. Charcoal is particularly noted as an excellent product to get rid of halitosis, or bad breath caused by germs in the mouth.
