We would all like to have a pearly white smile. A beautiful white smile can bring confidence to a person. It also makes a person feel good about himself or herself. That is why a large number of people, not only those with discoloration problems, turn to teeth whitening products. So, what are the teeth whitening treatments available today?
Teeth whitening can be achieved in three ways: by going to the dentist, by buying teeth whitening treatments, or by using common household items. Here are some of the common teeth whitening treatments.
In the Dentist’s Office
You will have to pay a professional fee to have a teeth whitening treatment done at the dentist’s office, but availing professional help is never a bad thing, especially if you have deeply stained and discolored teeth. The cost of professional teeth whitening treatment ranges from $400 to $1,100, depending on the severity of your case. A usual teeth whitening treatment is the use of laser light to activate a specially formulated gel to treat deeply rooted teeth discoloration. Or your dentist can use a hydrogen peroxide solution as a teeth whitening treatment so as to change and lighten the natural coloring of your teeth chemically. On both procedures, clinics will ensure that your gums and your lips are thoroughly protected to avoid chemical burning.
Buying Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Treatments
Purchasing products that are commonly found in your local pharmacy or grocery store is another option in teeth whitening treatments. There are a wide range of teeth whitening strips or teeth whitening gels or solutions that you purchase. These teeth whitening treatments may be left in overnight or for half an hour twice a day. These products usually have a 10% to 15% carbamide peroxide as an active ingredient.
There are also professional grade teeth whitening treatments you may purchase online or in special dental stores. Examples of these are as follows:
35% Carbamide Peroxide Gel System
36% Carbamide Peroxide Bluelight Gel System
Thermo Forming Mouth Trays
Laser Activated Blue Light
Remineralization Gel (this is more of an assisting product used as a teeth whitening treatments)
36% Plasma Laser Bluelight Teeth Whitening Kit
Some teeth whitening toothpastes have calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, silica, and aluminum oxide to break up stains or debris on tooth enamel that can cause yellowing of teeth. This debris that fills the micro cracks on the tooth enamel as the years pass can also destroy the usual porcelain-like luster of your teeth.
These over the counter teeth whitening treatments are becoming more cost effective and the results are very impressive.
Household Teeth Whitening Treatments
For those with a smaller budget, house hold teeth whitening treatments are available. Although these teeth whitening treatments usually take a long time before you actually see any significant results. It may take years before they take effect. The commonly used home-made teeth whitening agents are as follows:
Baking soda
Baking soda plus water
Baking soda plus lemon juice and salt
Pumice stone and lemon juice
Orange rind or orange peel
Crushed bay leaves and crushed orange peel
Vinegar, more popularly, apple cider vinegar is used
Strawberries
Rock salt
These products are low cost and can be found in any house hold. However, patience is needed if you are going to use home-made teeth whitening treatments. Results are not as instantaneous as compared to using professionally made teeth whitening products or using your dentist’s service.
