Teeth Whitening: A Guide

Stained teeth can make you feel embarrassed, sad and frustrated. There are a variety of methods for removing stains. This article will give you all the information you need about teeth whitening. Read on to find out more!

Water flosser

Water flossing is a great way to clean your teeth and remove stains. The water flossers work by creating a high-pressure stream that dislodges debris and stains from the surface of your teeth. Some water flossers also have a pulsating action that hits the gum line as well as the teeth. This can help loosen up food particles and bacteria stuck between your teeth, helping to prevent stains.

Laser treatments

Dental laser whitening is a relatively new dental treatment offered by some dentists. Dental lasers use light energy to remove stains from your teeth. The laser energy disrupts the molecular bonds that hold the stain to the teeth. Laser treatments can take several days to complete and may involve several appointments. When all of your teeth have been treated, your dentist can then take pictures of your teeth for comparison before, during and after the process. This way, you can see exactly how many stains were removed and you can decide whether or not you're satisfied with the result.

Whitening gel

You can purchase over-the-counter whitening gels and trays at most drugstores and supermarkets. These kits contain toothpaste-like paste and a mouth tray. The paste is applied to the teeth and covered with the mouth tray for several minutes. It is important not to use these gels too often as they contain high concentrations of peroxide that can damage your teeth if used too often or improperly. Be sure to follow the instructions of your kit and your dentist carefully. It is also a good idea to consult with your dentist about any products you plan on using, especially if you have cavities and other dental issues that must be addressed first.

Toothpaste

There are some toothpastes on the market that claim to whiten teeth. While some of these toothpastes do not contain actual bleach, they still may help remove stains from your teeth. Some toothpastes also contain tartar control products that can remove stains from your teeth in addition to reducing build-up that occurs with tartar. Tartar control toothpaste is generally more abrasive than regular toothpaste is, so it may cause irritation or soreness in sensitive areas of your mouth, such as the gums.
