Discover the variety of options available for teeth whitening. From over-the-counter products to professional in-office treatments, many ways exist to achieve a brighter smile. Let’s dive into the options and their benefits.
Over-the-Counter Products
Explore the most common whitening options found in stores. Whitening toothpaste and mouthwash can help remove surface stains and maintain whiteness. They work over time, but results may take a month or two.
Bleaching Products
Bleaching products contain higher concentrations of peroxide, such as white strips with 6% peroxide. They work quickly and effectively but may only suit some types of stains. Use with caution for best results.
Custom Tray Treatments
Custom trays with varying peroxide concentrations allow tailored treatments based on individual needs. From lower dosages for sensitivity to higher ones for quick results, this option offers flexibility and effectiveness.
In-Office Whitening
Get a brighter smile in one hour with professional in-office bleaching treatments. Containing 40% peroxide, this option provides rapid results of up to 8 shades lighter but must be applied by a dental professional.
Home Remedies Caution
Beware of home remedies like baking soda and charcoal. These methods lack scientific backing and may cause irreversible damage, such as enamel erosion. Always consult your dentist for safe whitening options.
