What is the Best Teeth Whitening Product in the Market Today?
If you go around the market, you will find that all teeth whitening products, say that they are the best and most effective way to achieve a white smile. In fact, they would say anything you would like to hear just so you would buy their products. With so many products of different kinds and features, making a choice can be a big challenge. It would leave you puzzled and asking, “Which teeth whitening product is really the best?” A close look at some of the most common options will help you make an informed decision.
Toothpastes That Whiten
The whitening toothpaste is designed to remove surface stains with a mild abrasive that it contains, and some even contain a polishing agent however whitening toothpastes do not contain hydrogen peroxide which other products have. This means that whitening toothpastes can only remove surface stains and thus, can only whiten teeth by about one shade.
Whitening Gels
With whitening gels you can see initial results in a few days but it would actually take about four months to achieve truly whiter teeth because the gel that contains hydrogen peroxide is applied twice a day for two weeks on the surface of the teeth using a small brush.
Whitening Strips
Whitening strips are applied on the surface of the teeth twice everyday for 30 minutes for two weeks. Same with the whitening gel, you can see some difference on your teeth after a few days but you need to consistently use the product for about four months to make those teeth the shade you want.
Tray-Based Tooth Whitening Product
Gel whitening solution that contains a peroxide bleaching agent is put into a mouth guard. It is fitted into the mouth by your dentist and you have to wear this tray for a couple of days overnight for up to four weeks.
To get back to your original question as to which product is the best, well there are a few factors to determine which product is the best. If you talk about comfort, the whitening toothpaste would probably top the list because you only have to brush your teeth with it and you do not have to leave the solution on your teeth or sleep with a mouth guard. If you talk about effectiveness, those that contain hydrogen peroxide work most efficiently because this chemical acts as a bleaching agent that can whiten teeth effectively. It would be wise to consult your dentist, as she can also help determine which products will be most suitable for you.
