Whiter teeth are a staple in the health and beauty industry. Never would you see a model or celebrity with yellow or stained teeth. Let\u2019s face it, whiter teeth bring confidence. There are several ways for the average person to obtain a whiter and brighter smile, here are the most popular.<\/p>\n
Dentist Whitening<\/p>\n
We will start at the priciest end of the spectrum with professional whitening in the dental office. Most dentists use Carbamide Peroxide in the form of a gel and provide customized dental trays moulded by plaster casts of your teeth.<\/p>\n
These trays reduce the risk of whitening lines due to the fact they are made just for you. In contrast, most at-home kits provide the same Carbamide Peroxide, just not the form-fitting tray. Dentists charge up to $600 for this treatment, mainly to cover time and office costs.<\/p>\n
At-Home Whitening Gels<\/p>\n
For a much cheaper price, we can obtain whiter teeth in the comfort of our own homes by using at-home kits. Most of these kits contain the same strength Carbamide Peroxide formula as your dentist or possibly a more powerful formula.<\/p>\n
Another benefit of at-home whitening is the price. You\u2019re not paying a dentist or his employees, so you will find yourself paying hundreds less than you would at a dental office.<\/p>\n
Some quality kits can go as low as $39! The only real downside of an at-home kit is the quality of the dental tray as it\u2019s typically a boil-and-bite mouthpiece. You may find these a little less comfortable than their dentistry counterpart.<\/p>\n
Whitening Strips<\/p>\n
The results from whitening strips are usually less than desired. Major brands and off-brands have been known to disappoint, showing a mild effect over a month.<\/p>\n
The problem is that most pharmaceutical-backed companies are looking for a way to make a reoccurring profit from their consumers. Thus keeping a weaker product on the shelves keep you coming back until desired results are acquired. In some cases, this could be months or years.<\/p>\n
Whitening Toothpaste<\/p>\n
Whitening toothpaste seems to have little or no effectiveness. I recently tested a popular toothpaste brand, known for its supposed whitening power.<\/p>\n
I realized that at most, one line of past could only contain a mild active ingredient and you would have to brush your teeth for an hour for any noticeable result over a month. Whitening toothpaste seems to be a marketing ploy that sells more from us being so eager for improvement.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, the real contenders here are Dental and At-home Whitening Kits. They will provide you with your desired results in the shortest amount of time. Saying that at-home whitening kits allow you to save hundreds of dollars and the peace of your own home\u2026 and no eerie dentist offices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
