Professional Tooth Whitening
If you have stained or discoloured teeth then there are plenty of options available to you. We have talked about many of this site, such as home teeth whitening gels (you can find them in the related posts section at the bottom of the page). But without a doubt the best way to get whiter teeth is to use a professional tooth whitening service. This will give the best possible results in the shortest possible time which is obviously a good combination!
The reason that professional tooth whitening gel is so much more effective is that the dentist can use a gel with a much higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide to bleach the surface of the skin. You may have heard horror stories of people being badly burned by this, but any good dentist will protect your gums and lips before whitening your teeth so it shouldn’t be a problem. Obviously professional tooth whitening cost is much higher than home whitening, but it does give better results.
Even with a professional tooth whitening system, people will experience different results. Some will have a huge difference in the colour of their teeth while others won’t – it depends on lots of factors. Your dentist will be the best person to advise you whether it is a good move for you to have your teeth whitened.
After having your teeth whitening many people will find that their teeth experience some extra sensitivity, although not all people will. Again, this is something you’ll want to discuss with your dentist before the procedure so you can be aware of it and know what to expect.
Professional teeth whitening is definitely the best option if you want to have whiter teeth no matter what the cost. While it isn’t guaranteed to work, it will make a difference for most people and even though it costs more it will get the job done in a shorter period of time. Your dentist will be able to give you all the information you need to make your decision, so he or she is definitely the best person to ask. Home teeth whitening kits are available, but they are not usually that effective compared to professional whitening. Even before using home teeth whitening kits you should ask your dentist first just to make sure it is safe for you to use – it is better to be safe than sorry.
