Beauty Tips: Teeth Whitening Products

By Owen Jones


Selecting teeth whitening products from the different teeth whitening products there are on the market these days can be quite difficult. However, some of these teeth whitening products do not give the desired results.

If you were to ask the experts, they would tell you that the best method of teeth whitening is still obtainable through your dentist. Not only is it the best, but it is also the most effective and the quickest way to get whiter teeth.

But then, not all people can afford the fees that come with each treatment. Another thing that hinders them from going to dentists is fear. It seems that in early childhood, dentists are one of the most feared professions and that children just do not want to have to meet them. This fear continues on into adult years.

Although dentists do not recommend people to choose teeth whitening products, they all agree that most of these products are effective in some degree. According to many studies, most teeth whitening products can result in whiter teeth that can out perform any dentist-assisted procedure, if applied according to the instructions.

An additional bonus that teeth whitening products have, is that they contain the same ingredients that are employed in professional whitening. Two of the active ingredients used in whitening teeth are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide. These two chemicals are also the ingredients present in some of the products that are on sale in ordinary grocery stores and pharmacies.

The only advantage that amateur teeth whitening products have over professional whitening is that they tend to be much cheaper. Everyone who knows about them can afford to add them to their list of basic shopping requirements.

Many of these products can be bought for under $30. Compare this with the $100 or more that you need to pay at the dentist's surgery. It will not astound you that people prefer them over the higher fees. However, teeth whitening products do have some disadvantages. Some of these are:

1. Suitability. Teeth whitening products cater to all, it is true, but then different people have different needs. What some people found effective may not work for others. This is one of the problems that people will encounter with these 'home' products.

There are those who have sensitive teeth and gums. Reaction to the products will depend upon the suitability of the products to the persons that are using them. Another option would be to try out different products until you find the one that suits you.

2. Strong Chemicals Used. You will not know what your reaction to any given product will be until you have tested it on yourself. As you do not know how sensitive your teeth are, you will also not know what might happen when you start using the product. It is better to consult with your dentist first before choosing any product at all.

3. Tray may not fit. The tray put in your mouth does not exactly fit you, so there is a tendency that it may be either be too large or too small.

If it is too big, the formula may not work very well. On the other hand, if it is too small, it may cause gum bleeding and other side effects that could cause bigger problems. Be sure that the teeth whitening precuts you choose are suitable for you. If none of them works, then perhaps professional teeth whitening would be better for you.
