How To Whiten Teeth

There is a vast array of methods available today to help people whiten their teeth. When choosing a method, people will need to take several things into consideration such as how much they want to spend, how badly their teeth may be stained, how thick their teeth are, and how healthy their teeth are. The cost of getting teeth whitened varies widely depending on the method people choose.

Where Can People Get Their Teeth Whitened?

People can get their teeth whitened either in a dentist's office or a beauty parlor. A small plastic tray containing peroxide gel will be placed on the person's teeth. In some cases, a mold of the teeth may be necessary for the tray to match the individual's mouth. Sometimes, rather than using a tray, the dentist or beautician will apply the gel directly onto the teeth and use a laser to activate it.

People may also choose to purchase a home whitening kit, as they are much more affordable than having a dentist or beautician whiten the teeth. Where to Buy Tooth Whitening Kits

Consumers can find tooth whitening kits in many grocery stores, department stores, discount stores, drug stores, online or through one's dentist. These stores offer a broad range of oral products including mouthwash, toothpaste and teeth whitening kits. For people, who have mild stains on their teeth, they may simply need to use toothpaste and mouthwash. However, for those people, who have dark stains, they may want to consider purchasing a tooth whitening kit.

How to Use Tooth Whitening Kits

Most teeth whitening kits come in a gelled plastic sheath. People will need to press this sheath onto their teeth, and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Some kits have a plastic tray, rather than a sheath, and peroxide gel to put into the tray. People need to press this tray onto their teeth just like the sheath, and again, leave it on for about 20 minutes. Although both methods seem to be just as effective as one another, trays do not slip around in people's mouths as sheaths often do. People can repeat this process 2 or 3 times a year, and use whitening toothpastes in between to maximize results.
