 Most tooth-whitening toothpastes that are available on the market work by being abrasive. The abrasive properties of the toothpaste can remove extrinsic tooth stains. These abrasive agents can include calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and hydrated aluminium oxides. Some whitening toothpastes additionally contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
