Teeth Whitening Options

By Taylor Hawk

It makes no difference how well you take care of your teeth or how perfectly you look after them, over time they will not be as white as they once where. People that don't make regular visits to the dentist will have teeth that are worse. For teeth that are in bad condition, teeth whitening won't be simple at all. In addition to being good for the teeth, whitening makes them look a lot better. In this article we'll look at some of the available teeth whitening options.

You have many teeth whitening options, but the main three are making use of teeth whitening strips or toothpastes, bleaching by a dentist, or in-home bleaching. Using the whitening strips or toothpaste is the most cost effective and hassle-free option there is available to you. All you do in this case is brush your teeth with the toothpaste or apply the strips. Some of the top brands of toothpaste on the market today are the Colgate Simply White and Starbrite, where as the best strips are the Crest Whitestrips.

These toothpastes and strips shouldn't be used for seriously damaged and yellow teeth, but rather only if you have minor yellowing and your teeth are still in good condition. Then there is another product called GoSmile that is slightly more expensive than the others, but does a wonderful job.

Another one of the teeth whitening options you have is the bleaching by a dentist. This process is generally one that consists of two steps. Bare in mind that each session will take approximately two hours, so you can add up the costs and the amount the bill will most likely come to. The advantage here though is that the dentist will do a superb job, better than any toothpaste or strips will do, and the results will be long-lasting and beautiful.

The bleaching by a dentist option is for those who have really bad teeth that have suffered years of neglect, for those who have the money and want an excellent job done on their teeth where they will never have to go back for touch ups. A dentist will do a great job the first time round and will leave no room for error.

Another of the teeth whitening options is the in home bleaching method. This is done when your purchase your own bleaching products. Many of these products can be purchased over the counter. The process requires the application of gel to the tooth and allowing it to set for a few seconds undisturbed before carrying on as usual.

As you can see it is a very simple, straight-forward procedure, but the only disadvantage is that you will have to do it everyday for a certain number of days. It will depend on the product you buy as not all of them are the same when it comes to how much you use, how long you have to use it, and how exactly it works.

These teeth whitening options are just a few that are available to you. - 30292
