Teeth Whitening At Home – When Toothpaste is Not Enough for White Teeth.
Peroxide teeth whitening may be the best option if your teeth are discolored because of age, due to possible smoking or other factors like coffee and tea consumption, or the intake of certain medications. White teeth make you look younger and more attractive.
Two options to get white teeth.
1. Systems to use at home, or
2. Done by professionals.
The teeth whitening cost at home is much less than the in office procedure done by a professional and to be honest, who likes to go to the dentist anyway. There are lots of tooth whitening products on the market and they fit into three categories.
Three categories of bleaching teeth at home:
- Bleaching gels
- Bleaching strips
- Bleaching pens
Four ways for application of teeth whitening gels.
- The old fashioned method with the tray. The teeth whitener substance is placed into a mouth trays, which you have to wear over your teeth for some hours or overnight. The good thing with that, the active substance is usually in a lower concentration which minimizes the side effects. So if you are a sensitive type and your gums or teeth react intensely to heat or cold this might be the better choice for you (click here).
- The strip method, by applying small strips that are placed over the front teeth.
- The most easiest for application are the whitening pens (click here).
- Kits where you have to mix to components together and apply the mixture onto your teeth.
But whatever tooth whitening system you use, is not an assurance that your teeth will remain white permanently, the process is only temporary it needs to be done repeatedly.
