Varying from person to person, there is a range of Teeth Whitening products you can get. The best teeth-whitening product for someone may not suit another person's requirement. A person may decide from all these products which are best for him depending on the state of his teeth, extent of stains, age and also factors like cost and time he can spare for the treatment. Whitening toothpastes available in the market generally remove only surface stains by their abrasive action. They usually do not have any bleaching or oxidizing agents. Home teeth whitening kits generally contain strips or gels. The whitening gels, which are peroxide based, can be 'painted' on the tooth surface using a brush. Whitening strips are transparent strips, which have a peroxide coating. They are pasted on the surface and when the strip comes in contact of the tooth, bleaching action starts. Whether you use gel or strip the results are visible only after 15 days. Also available in the market are tray like mouth guards which can be filled with whitening gels and worn for few hours every day. The most common problem with this is the tray may be ill fitting unless it is custom made for you. If cost is not a concern for you while selecting teeth whitening mode and you need quick results then you can go to a dentist. Professional treatment means a certified doctor performs the bleaching procedure. Depending on the state of teeth, the severity of stains the dentist may decide whether to opt for external treatment or an internal whitening treatment. External whitening is where the bleaching agent is applied only on the surface of the tooth. These are the same peroxide based products, which are available off-the-shelf. The only difference is dentists use a strong concentrate of peroxide than over-the counter products. If the dentist decides that the staining is at a deeper level then he may go for an internal whitening procedure. In this procedure, dentist drills a hole in the tooth and the bleaching agent is put into it. Once the stain goes away the hole is capped. It can be a tough task to choose the best teeth whitening product for you thus it is advisable to consult your dentist. He can guide you to choose the best option.Patricia Stevens owns and operates [please contact me for website address] Teeth Whitening | | | | | | |  | |  |
