Teeth Whitening Products

Teeth whitening products are a great way to get a brighter and whiter smile. Whether you’re looking for a quick fix or a more gradual, natural approach to whitening your teeth, there are plenty of options out there. From over-the-counter products like toothpastes and strips to professional treatments like teeth whitening trays and laser whitening, there are a variety of ways to improve the look of your smile. In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of teeth whitening products and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each.

Things to Consider when Choosing a Whitening Product

It is impossible to say which whitening products are the best as it really depends on your personal needs.  There are so many different types of whitening systems and it is a very personal choice as to what you will prefer and will suit you best.  I will now discuss some of the best whitening products that are available.

Whitening Systems

  • Whitening Toothpastes 
  • Over-the-Counter Whitening Strips and Gels. Whitening gels can be applied to the surface of your teeth.  Instructions may vary depending on the product and strength of the peroxide.  Initial results may be seen in a few days.  Whitening strips are thin strips, coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel.  They are generally very easy to use and good results can be seen within a few days.
  • Whitening Rinses. They are easy to use and can help to bleach the hard-to-reach areas. They may not be as effective as other products due to the short contact time with the teeth.  This is a great product to use after bleaching to keep your teeth white.
  • Tray-Based Tooth Whiteners. They involve bleaching trays that are filled with whitening gel and worn every day (or some can be used at night) for about two or three weeks.  These bleaching products should ideally be prescribed by a dentist but can be bought over-the –counter.  They are not very comfortable but you can expect a very good result.
  • Whitening pens. These are easy to use, small enough to carry with you and very convenient.  If you have specific teeth or areas which require bleaching, this may be your best option.

Do not undergo bleaching without consulting your dentist if you are pregnant, suffer from very sensitive teeth or allergies for the bleaching ingredients.  If you suffer from gum disease, worn enamel, cavities or exposed roots, you should get treatment and advice from your dentist before considering bleaching.  Keep in mind that tooth-colored fillings, crowns, veneers and bridges do not whiten and may need to be replace aver bleaching your teeth.  Keep your expectations realistic as very dark teeth (e.g. tetracycline stained teeth) may be hard to bleach and will probably benefit more from professional bleaching e.g. KoR whitening deep bleaching system.
