When I started on the journey to find ways to whiten my teeth, I wanted something that was effective as well as fast to get the true white result I needed. I have looked at several different methods and wanted those procedures that were safe and wouldn't cause any damage to my teeth or gums.
There are a few techniques to whiten my teeth and which method I choose depends solely on how severe my teeth discoloration is. We all know that stains from coffee and smoking attribute greatly to tooth discoloration. Whatever method I choose would have to be strong and safe enough to penetrate these stubborn stains.
Professional whitening by a dentist with lasers is the fastest and safest way to whiten teeth. There are also home whitening methods using bleaching techniques. Tooth whitening has become very popular, and thus, there have been many home tooth whitening kits on the market. They are sold over the counter and can actually brighten your smile. These home kits provide the carbamide peroxide gel which is placed on a tray and inserted into the mouth. Depending on the strength of carbamide peroxide gel, you can apply the gel at night for a specified amount of time.
