Having a brighter smile can increase your self-confidence. Teeth whitening is a very common procedure that can be done in a variety of ways. Keeping your teeth white can be challenging. Due to the dark colored liquids and foods that we eat can have an impact on the color of our teeth. Coffee and tea are among the most common to stain our teeth.

At home teeth whitening kits are becoming more and more popular. At home whitening kits are typically more affordable than going to the dentist. However, professional teeth whitening done at the dentist office have longer lasting results. When choosing the method of teeth whitening is sure to know the facts of each option. Whitening your teeth is not known to have any negative effects. Tooth whitening is a process and can take several attempts to obtain the desired results.

There are teeth whitening trays that you can have custom fitted by your dentist that you wear overnight. They are typically used with a peroxide based bleaching gel. They are fairly easy to use and can be repeated on a nightly basis to get the desired results however you can see a difference with two to three uses.

Teeth whitening strips can be found at your local store. The strips can typically be worn any time of the day. They are not visible when holding a conversation and like the tray, must be repeated to get the desired results. This is one of the most cost-effective method to teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening toothpaste comes in a variety of brands and flavors. When combined with the tray or the strips, the maximum whitening can be achieved. Whitening toothpastes contain a mild abrasive that removes stains from teeth. Some also include a polishing agent that can aid in shining the teeth. This is the cheapest option when choosing to whiten your teeth. You can also do a peroxide rinse after brushing with the whitening toothpaste to optimize stain removal.
