Professional Teeth Whitening Products
Saturday, July 10th, 2010Teeth Whitening: Over The Counter Products From Boots Etc?
Q: I would like to get my teeth whitened but cannot afford professional dental fees at around £300.
I am aware that places like Boots offer DIY Teeth Whitening Products which are cheaper-but do they really work?
Anyone tried any of these? If so was it any good?
Thank you
A: There are several types of products available for use at home. Some of these tooth whitening products can be easily purchased off the shelves of pharmacy while others are dispensed by your Dentist.
One popular Tooth Whitening Product that you can use is bleaching solution that contains peroxide for bleaching tooth enamel. The bleaching agent in these products is usually Carbamide Peroxide, which is available in 10, 16 and 22 percent concentrations.
Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels.
In addition to bleaching solution, Whitening Strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe Tooth Bleaching Gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.
