There are two main levels of discoloration, the first is intrinsic, this is where the teeth have been discolored down to the yellow centre of the tooth, and although a teeth whitening treatment program for home use will repair the discoloration, many choose to visit their cosmetic dentist first and have their teeth whitened in the chair as the results are a lot quicker.
The second level of discoloration is extrinsic, this is where the outer enamel of the tooth has become yellow, and this can be treated easily at home.
When choosing your teeth whitening kit you need to consider how quickly you want to see results. There are teeth whitening trays, teeth whitening gels, teeth whitening pens, whitening toothpastes, and whitening strips. All of these products are designed for teeth whitening treatments at home and come with easy to understand instructions as well as easy to use applicators.
The teeth whitening gels, pens and strips are all applied to the problem areas for a few minutes each day before regular brushing. The teeth whitening tray is a mould which has the peroxide chemical combination necessary for whitening inside, this is held under warm water for a few minutes and then placed into the mouth and pressed up against the teeth firmly. A teeth whitening gel can be used in conjunction to a teeth whitening tray treatment as well.
Teeth whitening toothpaste is used after each treatment and then on a daily basis to keep those pearly whites looking pearly white!
Side effects of teeth whitening may be experienced in sensitivity and irritation, should the discomfort not subside within a week, you will need to consult your dentist.
With such a wide variety of products readily available, you can go out and find one that suits you best, and have your dazzling smile back within weeks!
