Smile Confidently with a Bright and White Smile With Take Home Teeth Whitening Kits

Teeth whitening may not be appropriate for everyone. It’s critical to consult with a dentist to determine if you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening so you don’t run into any problems. 

• Those who have persistent teeth and gum sensitivity may have a problem using the tooth whitening chemicals.

• Patients with oral health issues like chronic periodontal disease, oral cancer, or severely worn enamel are not suitable for teeth whitening.

• According to most dentists, teeth whitening should not be done before the age of 14–16. Many preteens still have no permanent teeth, so it’s best to postpone tooth whitening until all adult teeth are present.

• If you have front tooth restorations such as tooth-coloured fillings or crowns, dental bleaching may not be effective.

In general, teeth whitening is safe for those who have healthy teeth and gums.

At-home teeth whitening procedures are generally safe, but they can have negative consequences if not used carefully or cautiously. Teeth whitening treatments that have been used for a long time or excessively can negatively impact oral health. Therefore, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by the dentist.

• In-chair professional teeth whitening
  One of the most popular and common treatments is an in-chair treatment, which provides quick results and takes about an hour to complete. Today, the most popular bleaching treatments on the market are Philips Zoom, Boost, and KOR Whitening, which can remove extrinsic stains as well as intrinsic stains.
  
  In this procedure, hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is used as the active ingredient. As part of the procedure, dentists can use LED light to activate the whitening solution.
  
  Having your teeth whitened in the dentist’s office can lighten them by two or three shades in just one visit. If you prefer, you can have your teeth whitened during your regular checkups, which occur every six months.  

• Take-home teeth whitening
  It is more convenient than an in-office whitening method since you can do it on your own time.
  
  Your dentist will make impressions of your mouth to make a set of moulds that fit your mouth perfectly. You will receive six months’ supply of whitening trays and whitening gel from your dentist, depending on how frequently you use them. In the long term, they ensure that enough supplies are on hand so that you are not left short while you wait.
  
  This type of teeth whitening is designed for people who seek a fast, efficient, and aggressive whitening solution.

The cost of take-home teeth whitening differs based on several variables, such as the location and type of whitening. The average price of take-home kits is $400-$600, covering the consultation and the whitening kit (per arch).

• Over-the-counter whitening products
  Teeth whitening toothpaste, strips, and gels are used to remove surface stains from your teeth. When it comes to tooth whitening, toothpaste is the gentlest product, making it ideal for those with sensitive teeth. Since whitening toothpaste uses polishing rather than harsh chemicals, it does not have the damaging side effects of bleaching treatments. However, because of their mildness, whitening toothpaste does not bleach teeth as effectively as chemical ones. Generally, you need to wait several weeks or months before noticing any results from a whitening toothpaste.
  
  
• Professional Teeth Whitening 
  The advantage of in-office whiteners is that they are more potent than at-home bleaching methods. Dentists use a high percentage of peroxide, making it more effective. They can change the colour of your teeth faster than at-home whiteners can.
  
  The procedure takes about an hour in the office. The gum tissues are covered with a thin layer of rubber or a protective gel to protect the mouth from the peroxide. In some cases, a mild laser light is used in addition to the peroxide.
