Teeth Whitening Options

Teeth Whitening

Before you choose to have your teeth whitened it’s best to go and see your dentist first. Whether whitening at home or having it done by a professional, your dentist will be able to give advice to you on which products and services will be best for you. In-surgery whitening, administered by a professional, it is mostly risk free a procedure that promises immediate results, though it can be costly.

At-home whitening is preferred by many who want a great smile without the costly price tag and these days there’s an abundance of affordable teeth whitening products on the shelves. Paint on teeth whiteners are applied twice daily like a toothpaste and, while less effective than bleaching or laser whitening, are able to lighten teeth by up to five shades. More effective than the paint whiteners are teeth whitening strips, which can result in teeth looking whiter for up to 18 months. Alternatively, a teeth whitening toothpaste is one of the least expensive options and a safer option for those with sensitive gums, as they don’t contain bleach or harsh chemicals. This kind of toothpaste won’t penetrate as deeply as other types of whitening products; however it can be used as a replacement for your regular toothpaste and in conjunction with a whitening mouthwash.

Home remedies also exist to help whiten your teeth, such as dairy products, which contain lactic acid, citrus fruits, and baking soda. Strawberries contain malic acid which can help remove any discolorations on the surface of teeth. Some suggest eating crunchy foods such as biting into an apple instead of cutting it up. However the best way to keep your teeth white for longer is to avoid things like red wine, coffee, and smoking.
