Toothpaste that is white not blue

Can anyone recommend a toothpaste that is white paste.
Don't feel as though my teeth and breath is clean with the blue.
Also bonus points if you recommend a good one for gum sensitivity.

I generally use Sensodyne toothpastes. Which ever is on offer at Sainsbury's. I find the brand really good and as far as i'm aware they are if not all, then certainly in the main , white. I've never come across a blue one.

I once talked to my dentist if there was any difference between the different Sensodyne types because the way they are marketed for different issues is very confusing. And she said no. Any type will do, although Whitening ones may possibly be a little harsher on the teeth.

I always use mouth wash after brushing and that really helps to make the breath feel fresher. And if I ever get an issue with my gums bleeding slightly I use Antibacterial mouth wash - Sainsbury's own make- for a couple of days until the problem clears up.

Edited to say I apologise for quoting your post back to you OP. That was purely accidental and I know it's extremely annoying. Unfortunately I cant edit the quote out.

Most sensitive ones are white

roadtowhoknowswhere · 24/02/2026 12:08

I bought sensodine gum and repair paste which is blue.
Sensodine normal toothpaste which is also blue.
And a Colgate one again blue.
Might try a something else.

Colgate 'White Teeth' is white.

I buy it every week from Morrisons.

Oranurse is white but it seems to stain more than blue/coloured toothpaste (or maybe that's just DS2 being messy!)

FlapperFlamingo · 24/02/2026 12:19

Boots own brand and Colgate white are both white and not blue.

Sensodyne mineral boost is white.

Corsodyl toothpaste is white / almost pale pink

Corsodyl is white or pink and specifically designed for gum health.

Oh I' m really surprised about the Sensodyne. I've been using it for years and years and not come across blue.

We use Colgate Extra Whitening - it's a pure white paste and it's nowhere near as expensive as a lot of other toothpastes are.

SixSevenShutUp · 24/02/2026 13:22

Arm & Hammer baking powder is white and not minty, which I prefer. It's good at removing tea stains, too.

ChipDaleRescueRangers · 24/02/2026 13:23

This colgate is definitely white. Its what I use now after Sensodyne changing the formula to a blue paste that caused a lot of mouth ulcers and very sore gums.

Thanks for the suggestions

I have bought 2 different corsodyl.
Gum whitening is blue, this is a thicker paste than the gel ones.
Gum breath and whitening is white.

Seems as though others have found problems with the blue paste.
Just hope one of these works.

I second that!

Colgate Total original, although newest iteration is super minty

Dora26 · 24/02/2026 15:59

Aldi’s own brand toothpaste is really nice - and white!

YourWinter · 24/02/2026 16:01

Arm & Hammer Extra White Baking Soda toothpaste is gentle but effective.

Huge bonus points are 1) it’s made in the UK and 2) the tube is fully recyclable. I get it in Home Bargains.

Colgate max white

Sensodyne mineral boost is white.

This is what I use and was going to suggest.

My husband uses Arm & Hammer Sensitive Care and that's white - it's quite gritty and the odd time I've used it my teeth feel very smooth!

I can only get blue Sensodyne, whichever one I buy. I used to really like their pink one.
