Who doesn’t love to show off dazzling white teeth while smiling? Tooth whitening is one of the most common dental procedures performed every year. Usually, with time, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, having red wine, certain medications or simply aging can gradually stain your teeth. Nowadays, you can easily get back that sparkling smile. Teeth whitening is only recommended for people having strong teeth with no fillings and healthy gums.
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is the process of making the teeth appear whiter. This can be achieved in two ways commonly known as bleaching and non-bleaching whitening products. When you use products containing bleach then the process is known as bleaching. But when you use a product without bleach for whitening and removing food or debris from the teeth the process is known as non-bleaching. Bleaching products usually contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that are capable of removing both superficial and deep stains on the teeth and can at times make the teeth look even lighter than the natural shade. Hydrogen peroxide itself is the bleaching agent while carbamide peroxide breaks down into hydrogen peroxide.
The different options
There are various teeth whitening products available in the market namely:
Whitening Toothpaste –
Whitening toothpaste normally contain a gentle polishing or chemical agent that proves to be more effective than normal toothpaste in removing tooth stains effectively. They do not contain bleach and can help remove surface stains.
Over-the-Counter Whitening Gels and Strips –
There are several over-the-counter teeth whitening kits available today that are gaining huge popularity as they are easy to use and inexpensive too. They contain peroxide in a lesser amount compared to the whitening products used by dentists.
Whitening gels are peroxide-based clear gels that should be applied with a small brush directly on the teeth’s surface. While whitening strips are thin, practically invisible strips coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel that needs to be applied on the teeth according to the instructions on the label.
Whitening Rinses –
This is the latest product available in the form of a mouthwash. They contain hydrogen peroxide that whitens the teeth and also other ingredients that freshen up your breath and helps deal with dental plaque and gum disease.
Tray-Based Tooth Whiteners –
This involves filling a mouth guard-like tray with a gel whitening solution containing a peroxide-bleaching agent. You need to wear the tray for a period of time say for a few hours, a day or at times even every day at night for nearly 4-weeks or even longer depending on the degree of discoloration.
