Tooth Whitening

By Jason Myer

We're showered today by pictures of famous people, whether celebrities or politicians, wearing a dazzling white smile. It's no surprise, therefore, that more and more people are splurging money on tooth whitening products and procedures.

Whitening treatments are the most common service that dentists now provide and the list of over the counter medication that you can choose from are continuing to grow.

Teeth discoloration is a normal process, but it can be worse for a number of people, particularly if things like coffee, wine and cigarettes add to their discoloration. There are three main methods of tooth whitening that one can employ today.

The first, and most expensive, is dentist-supervised tooth whitening. A controlled concentration of peroxide is placed on the teeth after a process of ensuring that the teeth and gums are clean and cavities filled. While expensive, this procedure is required as seldom as once a year, and you won't have to be anxious whether you're doing things right since a professional is taking care of it for you.

Less expensive methods of tooth whitening are over the counter whitening products, or take-home whitening kits that a dentist might prescribe for you. Similar to an in-office procedure, you should visit the dentist to make sure that your teeth are clean, your gums healthy and any cavities filled prior to using such a product. 201

These products lighten discoloration in much the same way, but the concentration of peroxide is less, and it can therefore be applied for longer periods of time, such as overnight, with the use of a bleaching tray. It is an cheaper method and a lot of these products do perform as promised.

Therefore, whatever your lifestyle, and whatever your budget, there is probably a tooth whitening method out there for you if you come to a decision that you too, want a million dollar smile.
