Teeth Whitening Systems

We all want pearly white teeth. If you say no, they you are completely unaware or you just don’t care. If you drink tea, coffee, colas, smoke, or just have naturally yellow teeth, then you may be interested in making your teeth whiter. I know I like to smile a lot, and I drink a lot of tea, which tends to stain teeth. I have tried many teeth whitening systems, all with varying degrees of success. You can buy products at pharmacies, discount stores, online, through mail order, or have it professionally done at you dentist’s or at a cosmetic dentistry office. The difference is the cost and the amount of time that passes before you start to see significant results.

With all teeth whitening systems, it takes time. Don’t ever believe an advertisement that says it will whiten overnight. These products are probably really bad for your teeth, and won’t whiten them either. It will just leave them feeling sensitive to all things hot and cold, and your gums will hurt too. It’s just not worth it. Crest White Strips work if you use them consistently, as do some of the other over the counter teeth whitening systems you can purchase. All products take some time to work, anywhere from two to three weeks to start seeing significant results, and you have to keep using them on a consistent basis or your teeth won’t stay white.

If you have the cash, consult with your dentist or go to a place that specializes in cosmetic dentistry. They can make you a set of trays that are molded from your teeth. You use these trays with the bleach solution provided and over a shorter period of time see better results. The downfall to this approach, is of course, it costs quite a bit more. Some places charge from $350 on up, depending on where you go. The bleach is cheap, it’s the molded trays that cost so much. You have to pay the lab and the dentist their fees for making them. Once you have that expenditure out of the way, it doesn’t cost much at all to keep your teeth white. If you can, you may just want to use this approach to start out with, instead of wasting your money on a bunch of teeth whitening systems that won’t give you good results. Check it out, you’ll probably be smiling more with those pearly whites!
