Teeth Whitening And Beauty

By Owen Jones


Selecting teeth whitening products from the different teeth whitening products available on the market today can be very confusing. However, some of these teeth whitening products do not produce the desired results.

If you asked the experts, they would inform you that the best method of teeth whitening is still obtainable via your dentist. Not only is it the best, but it is also the most effective and the quickest way to get whiter teeth.

But then, not all people can afford the fees that come with such treatment. Another thing that deters them from going to dentists is fear. It seems that in early childhood, dentists are one of the most feared professions and that children just do not want to have to go to them. This fear continues on into adult years.

Although dentists do not recommend people to go for teeth whitening products, they all agree that most of these products are effective to some degree. According to many studies, most teeth whitening products can result in whiter teeth that can outlast any procedure applied by your dentist, if used regularly and consistently.

An additional bonus that teeth whitening products have, is that they contain the same ingredients that are used in professional whitening. Two of the active ingredients needed for whitening teeth are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide. These two products are also the ingredients that are present in some of the products that are on sale in everyday grocery shops and drug stores.

The only advantage that teeth whitening products have over professional whitening is that they are very cheap. Everyone who finds out about them can afford to add them to their list of basic shopping items.

Many of these products can be had for $30 or less. Compare this with the $100 or more that you need to pay at the dentists. It will not surprise you that people prefer them over the high fees. Still, teeth whitening products are found to have some disadvantages. Some of which are:

1. Suitability. Teeth whitening products cater to all types of teeth, it is true, but then different people have different needs. What some people find to be effective may not work for others. This is one of the problems that people will come across with these 'home' products.

There are some who have sensitive teeth and gums. Reaction to the products will depend upon the suitability of the products to the people using them. An option would be to try different products until you find the one that is suitable to you.

2. Strong Chemicals Used. You will not know what your reaction to a product will be until you have tried it out. Since you do not know how sensitive your teeth are, you will also not know what might happen when you start using the product. It is better to consult with your dentist first before selecting any product at all.

3. Tray may not fit. The tray used in your mouth is not exactly right to you, so there is a tendency that it may either be too big or too small.

If it is too big, the formula may not work so well. On the other hand, if it is too small, it could cause gum bleeding and other side effects that could cause bigger problems. Be sure that the teeth whitening precuts you choose are suitable for you. If none of them works, then maybe professional teeth whitening would be better for you.
