Teeth Whitening Products

Several types of teeth whitening products are available over the counter. These teeth whitening products tend to work best for people who have a yellowish surface stain on their teeth. People who used to smoke or have stains from drinking coffee may have the best results from over-the-counter teeth whitening products.

Teeth whitening products include tooth whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrushes, whitening gels, and whitening strips. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products have limited effectiveness. Whitening toothpaste may be able to lighten the teeth one shade whiter.

Many companies manufacture tooth whitening toothpastes. Aquafresh Iso-Active Whitening is a unique whitening toothpaste that foams in the mouth. The manufacturer claims that this foaming gel toothpaste whitens teeth and removes three times more bacteria than other toothpastes. Rembrandt, Listerine, and Crest are some brand names of teeth whitening mouthwashes. Crest makes Scope White mouthwash and Crest Whitening Rinse.

Opalescence teeth whitening products are available from a dentist. Opalescence products include an in-office whitening procedure done in the dentist’s office and whitening products to be used at home. Whitening gel treatments, whitening toothpaste, and special toothpicks are among the available whitening products.

Teeth whitening strips are thin strips that are used to cover the teeth. The strips are kept on the teeth for thirty minutes. Crest claims that their Advanced Seal Whitestrips show some whitening results in three days and the full results in fourteen days. Crest’s suggested retail price for the fourteen-day supply of their whitening strips is $44.95. The results from this whitening process are supposed to last for one year.

Crest Whitestrips Daily Whitening is an option for people whose teeth are sensitive to other teeth whitening products. These whitening strips are only kept on the teeth for five minutes. For people who have had dental work or if the staining is from medication, a dentist should be consulted before Whitestrips products are used.

The Deluxe Teeth Whitening System by Ultra-white uses whitening gel containing the active whitening ingredient Carbamide Peroxide. This teeth whitening kit comes with material that the customer uses to create an impression of their teeth. A dentist uses the impressions to create molded trays to fit the user’s teeth. This product claims that users will see some whitening results within two days with a two to four shade difference in two weeks. These teeth whitening product kits cost about one hundred dollars.
