Tips You Can Use To Find The Best Teeth Whitening Products And Have A Great Smile

By Debbie Ruffo


Choosing the best teeth whitening products is not so easy these days given the multitude of choices available to consumers. There are strips, gels, rinsing solutions, toothpastes, trays, pens and many other newfangled methods that are still being tested. There's a huge market for it, with more than 100 million Americans spending in excess of $15 billion every year hoping to be able to flash a million-dollar smile.

Dental procedures and medical technology have advanced far enough that dentists are now able to reward anyone who comes in with a perfect row of brilliant white teeth. They mostly do this using chemical solutions and bleaches applied with the help of light or heat. The latest technology and equipment also makes use of lasers.

For the record, bleaching and whitening are two different things. The latter refers to restoring the natural color of the teeth lost behind years of stains, discolorations and decay. Bleaching, however, is a process that makes the teeth extraordinarily white, regardless of their original shade.

Many of these procedures require cosmetic dentistry experts armed with high-tech equipment. Some require multiple sessions at the dental clinic, while others may be completed in a single session during lunch hour. Yet others are DIY kits that can be bought over the counter and used at home by anyone, although some require extended usage over several weeks.

The problem is deciding which one is required, and then making sure it is done in the right way, with or without a professional's help. Those in doubt should ask their dentist to do an examination to find out what sort of product will do the trick. In-office bleaching is usually what dentists suggest, where they apply the product in one or more sessions using heat, light and/or lasers.

But DIY kits picked up across the counter are far cheaper than having it done by a dentist. Anyone who is confident about buying the right product and then applying the tray, gel, pen, strips, etc. According to the instructions will be able to cut down the costs by a huge margin. It must be done precisely as per the booklet or manual that comes with the kit.

For example, whitening kit trays used by people at home may not always match the mouth size. This can result in the gel leaking out, which means the procedure will fail and may even cause gum irritation. When using any such products at home, it's very important to get the right kit which allows for a certain amount of customization to make it a perfect fit for the patient's jaws, teeth and gums. Even with the right kit, it's still very important to make sure it's used exactly as per the instructions.

It's just as critical that the provider and brand be 100% reliable. Consumers can't depend on the FDA here because this is not a drug. One way to pick out a reliable brand is to look for the ADA (the American Dental Association) seal of acceptance. It's not mandatory, but all the best teeth whitening products have this seal.
