Teeth Whitening Q & A Why do teeth become discolored? There are a number of ways that your teeth can become discolored. Some of these factors are within your control, while others are not. One of the primary causes of discoloration is the aging process. The outermost portion of your teeth is made of a hard and semi-translucent substance called enamel. Just beneath your enamel lies a layer of hard tissue called dentin, which a yellow hue. As your enamel wears away over time, more dentin is exposed, causing your teeth to take on a yellow cast. Your food and lifestyle choices can also lead to tooth discoloration, as can environmental factors. These are some common causes of tooth stains: Red wine Coffee and tea Tomato sauce Smoking Certain medications Genetic factors What about over-the-counter teeth whitening products? There are numerous whitening products available on the shelves of most drugstores, all promising amazing results. Many of these options can lighten the shade of your smile, but none can match the whitening power of in-office whitening. They can be great, however, for extending the results of professional whitening. Here are some of the whitening products to choose from: Toothpastes LED Home Kits Whitening strips Paint-on whitening solutions Using a whitening product can make your professional whitening last longer and remain bright. How does in-office teeth whitening work? The first step in professional teeth whitening is a thorough dental exam and cleaning. If there are any dental issues that need to be addressed, they should be dealt with before whitening. Removing all traces of plaque and tartar provides a clean slate for whitening. The process begins with the application of a powerful whitening gel. Next, your dentist directs a special light onto the gel to activate the whitening properties. Special devices are used to isolate your teeth from your gums and other soft tissues during whitening. You may be provided with protective eyewear to wear during the procedure. In-office teeth whitening offers a safe and effective means of boosting the wattage of your smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile and feel great about the impression you make on the world, give us a call! Does teeth whitening work?

SOURCE WEB MD Teeth Whitening Medically Reviewed by Michael Friedman, DDS on October 09, 2019 IN THIS ARTICLE Whitening Systems Teeth Whitening Safety Tips In-Office Whitening How Long Do Whitening Effects Last? At Home vs. Dentist Supervised Should You Whiten Your Teeth? Risks Associated With Whitening Whitening Product Safety Choosing an Over-the-Counter Whitening Kit Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening There are many teeth whitening systems and products, including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, trays, and whitening products you get from a dentist. Teeth whitening is ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and gums. Individuals with yellow tones to their teeth respond best. But this cosmetic procedure is not recommended for everyone. Whitening Systems It's never been easier to brighten your smile at home. There are all kinds of products you can try: rinses, gels, chewing gum, toothpastes, and strips. If you decide to try whitening at home, the American Dental Association suggests that you talk with your dentist first, especially if you have: Sensitive teeth Dental restorations Very dark stains or a single dark tooth Lots of fillings or crowns At-home whiteners have peroxides, typically carbamide peroxide, in amounts ranging from 10% to 20%. Choose a product with a peroxide level in the middle of that range. If the product doesn’t bother your mouth but doesn’t give the lightening effect you want, you can choose a higher level. If you have any questions, your dentist can help you find the whitener that best fits your needs. Whitening toothpastes All toothpastes remove surface stains because they contain mild abrasives. Some whitening toothpastes contain gentle polishing or chemical agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. You might spend $1 to $20, though any prices may vary. Whitening toothpastes remove surface stains only and do not contain bleach; over-the-counter and professional whitening products contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide that lightens the color deep in the tooth. Whitening toothpastes can lighten the tooth's color by about one shade. In contrast, prescription strength whitening conducted in your dentist's office can make your teeth three to eight shades lighter. Over-the-counter whitening strips and gels Whitening gels are clear, peroxide-based gels applied with a small brush directly to the surface of your teeth. Instructions vary depending on the strength of the peroxide. Follow the directions on the product carefully. Initial results are seen in a few days, and final results last about 4 months. A full course takes between 10 and 14 days. You may need to apply them twice a day. You can buy whitening strips and gels from your pharmacy, dentist, or online for around $10 to $55. Whitening strips are very thin, virtually invisible strips that are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. The strips should be applied according to the instructions on the label. Initial results are seen in a few days, and final results last about 4 months. Whitening rinses Among the newest whitening products available are whitening rinses. Like most mouthwashes, they freshen breath and reduce dental plaque and gum disease. But these products also include ingredients, such as hydrogen peroxide in some, that whiten teeth. Manufacturers say it may take 12 weeks to see results. You just swish them around in your mouth for 60 seconds twice a day before brushing your teeth. However, some experts say that rinses may not be as effective as other over-the-counter whitening products. Because a whitening rinse is only in contact with the teeth for such a short time -- just 2 minutes a day compared to 30 minutes for many strips -- it may have less of an effect. To give whitening mouthwashes a boost, some people rinse first and then brush their teeth with a whitening toothpaste. Be ready to spend around $5 per bottle. Tray-based tooth whiteners Tray-based tooth whitening systems, purchased either over-the-counter or from a dentist, involve filling a mouth guard-like tray with a gel whitening solution that has a peroxide-bleaching agent. The tray is worn for a period of time, generally from a couple of hours a day to every day during the night for up to 4 weeks and even longer (depending on the degree of discoloration and desired level of whitening). You can buy tray-based tooth whitening systems from your nearest pharmacy for around $30 or get a custom-fitted tray from your dentist for $150 to $600. Teeth Whitening Safety Tips Follow directions. Don’t leave the strips or gels on longer than the directions say, or you might wind up with sore gums and set yourself up for other problems. After you whiten, avoid soda, sports drinks, or other acidic beverages for a couple of hours to protect your teeth. Protect sensitive teeth. Your teeth may be a little sensitive after you whiten, but it’s usually brief. It might be less of an issue if your teeth and gums are in good shape. If it bothers you, stop the treatment and talk to your dentist. Gel-filled trays, which you wear over your teeth like a mouth guard, can also bother your gums if they don't fit well. It’s a good idea to stop using the product if you start having this problem. Don’t overdo it. How much whitening is too much? If you follow a product’s directions and get a good result, a once-a-month touch-up session is usually enough. When your teeth reach a shade you like, you’ll need to repeat the multiple bleaching sessions twice a year or less. In-Office Whitening In-office bleaching provides the quickest way to whiten teeth. With in-office bleaching, the whitening product is applied directly to the teeth. These products can be used in combination with heat, a special light, or a laser. Results are seen in only one, 30- to 60-minute treatment. But to achieve dramatic results, several appointments are usually needed. However, with in-office bleaching, dramatic results can be seen after the first treatment. This type of whitening is also the most expensive approach. Get a professional cleaning and mouth exam first, even if you decide to whiten your teeth at home. You might need only a thorough cleaning to restore your smile's sparkle. Your dentist will also look for cavities and check the health of your gums during the exam. Treating any problems before you whiten is safer for your mouth. Ask your dentist about which over-the-counter system to use and how much lightening you can expect. Teeth do darken with age, and the amount of color change varies from person to person. How Long Do Whitening Effects Last? Teeth whitening is not permanent. People who expose their teeth to foods and beverages that cause staining may see the whiteness start to fade in as little as 1 month. The degree of whiteness will vary from person to person depending on the condition of the teeth, the level of staining, and the type of bleaching system used. Here are some tips to keep your teeth bright: Avoid foods and drinks that stain. Just about anything with acids or tannins can dull your teeth. To keep your smile bright, go easy on white and red wine, sports drinks, carbonated beverages (light and dark), black tea and coffee, berries and other strongly colored foods, as well as sauces such as soy, curry, and tomato. Brush or rinse immediately after having stain-causing beverages or foods. Follow good oral hygiene practices. Brush your teeth at least twice daily, floss at least once daily to remove plaque, and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash at least once a day to kill bacteria that cause plaque. Use a whitening toothpaste (once or twice a week only) to remove surface stains and prevent yellowing. Use a regular toothpaste the rest of the time. Dig in to produce and calcium-rich foods. When you munch on fruits and veggies, it can help “scrub” your teeth. Think about how clean your mouth feels after eating a crisp apple. High-calcium foods such as cheese can aid in keeping your teeth white. Avoid tobacco. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco can yellow your teeth. Kick tobacco, and you'll have whiter teeth as well as a healthier heart. Get regular cleanings at your dentist's office. Professional cleanings will remove plaque, which can pick up stains from what you eat and drink. Your dental hygienist can help keep teeth looking and feeling great. Sip through a straw. This will reduce your teeth's exposure to staining liquids. Consider touch-up treatments. Depending on the whitening method used, you may need a touch-up every 6 months or after a year or two. If you smoke or drink lots of stain-causing beverages, you may need a touch up more often. At Home vs. Dentist Supervised Do-it-yourself methods aren't the same as getting your teeth whitened by a professional. You'll want to consider a few important differences. Strength of bleaching agent. Over-the-counter products and dentist-supervised at-home products usually contain a lower strength bleaching agent, with about a 10% to 22% carbamide peroxide content, which is equivalent to about 3% hydrogen peroxide. In-office, professionally applied tooth whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide in concentrations ranging from 15% to 38%. Mouthpiece trays. With dentist-supervised at-home bleaching products, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and make a mouthpiece tray that is customized to exactly fit your teeth. This customization allows for maximum contact between the whitening gel, which is applied to the mouthpiece tray, and the teeth. A custom-made tray also minimizes the gel's contact with gum tissue. Over-the-counter whitening products also contain a mouthpiece tray, but the "one-size-fits-all" approach means that the fit will not be exact. Ill-fitting trays can irritate the gum and soft tissue by allowing more bleaching gel to seep onto these tissues. With in-office procedures, you'll get the bleaching agent applied directly to your teeth. Additional protective measures. In the office setting, your dentist will apply either a gel to the gum tissue or use a rubber shield (which slides over the teeth) prior to treatment to protect your gums and oral cavities from the effects of the bleaching. Over-the-counter products don't provide these extra protective measures. Costs. Over-the-counter bleaching systems are the least expensive option, with in-office whitening being the costliest. Supervised vs. unsupervised process. First, your dentist can perform an oral exam and consider your complete medical history, which can be helpful in determining if bleaching is an appropriate course of treatment based on the type and extent of stains, and the number and location of restorations. Your dentist can then better match the type of stain with the best treatment, if appropriate, to lighten those stains. When your dentist does it, they'll likely want to see you a couple of times to clear up any questions about the directions, to make sure the customized tray fits properly, to check your gums for signs of irritation, and to generally see how the process is working. With over-the-counter bleaching products, you're on your own. Should You Whiten Your Teeth? Whitening is not recommended or will be less successful in the following circumstances: Age and pregnancy issues. Bleaching is not recommended in children under the age of 16. This is because the pulp chamber, or nerve of the tooth, is enlarged until this age. Teeth whitening under this condition could irritate the pulp or cause it to become sensitive. Teeth whitening is also not recommended in pregnant or lactating women. Sensitive teeth and allergies. Individuals with sensitive teeth and gums, receding gums, or defective restorations should consult with their dentist prior to using a tooth-whitening system. Anyone allergic to peroxide (the whitening agent) should not use a bleaching product. Gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, and exposed roots. Individuals with gum disease or teeth with worn enamel are generally discouraged from undergoing a tooth-whitening procedure. Cavities need to be treated before undergoing any whitening procedure. This is because the whitening solutions penetrate into any existing decay and the inner areas of the tooth, which can cause sensitivity. Also, whitening procedures will not work on exposed tooth roots, because roots do not have an enamel layer. Fillings, crowns, and other restorations. Tooth-colored fillings and resin composite materials used in dental restorations (crowns, veneers, bonding, bridges) do not whiten. Therefore, using a whitening agent on teeth that contain restorations will result in uneven whitening -- in this case, making the teeth without restorations appear lighter than those with restorations. Any whitening procedure should be done prior to the placement of restorations. People with numerous restorations that would result in uneven whitening may be better off considering bonding, veneers, or crowns rather than a tooth whitening system. Ask your dentist what strategy is best for you. Unrealistic expectations. Individuals who expect their teeth to be a new "blinding white" may be disappointed with their results. Smokers need to be aware that their results will be limited unless they refrain from continued smoking, particularly during the bleaching process. A healthy guide is to achieve a shade slightly whiter than the whites of your eyes. Darkly stained teeth. Yellowish teeth respond well to bleaching, brownish-colored teeth respond less well and grayish-hue or purple-stained teeth may not respond to bleaching at all. Blue-gray staining caused by the antibiotic tetracycline is more difficult to lighten and may require up to six months of home treatments or several in-office appointments to successfully lighten. Teeth that have dark stains may be better candidates for another lightening option, such as veneers, bonding, or crowns. Your dentist can discuss the options best suited for you. Risks Associated With Whitening The two side effects that occur most often with teeth whitening are a temporary increase in tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the soft tissues of the mouth, particularly the gums. Tooth sensitivity often occurs during early stages of the bleaching treatment. Tissue irritation most commonly results from an ill-fitting mouthpiece tray rather than the tooth-bleaching agent. Both of these conditions usually are temporary and disappear within 1 to 3 days of stopping or completing treatment. If you do experience sensitivity, you can reduce or eliminate it by: Wearing the tray for a shorter period of time (for example, two 30-minute sessions vs. two 60-minute sessions). Stop whitening your teeth for 2 to 3 days to allow teeth to adjust to the process. Ask your dentist or pharmacist for a high fluoride-containing product, which can help remineralize your teeth. Apply the fluoride product to the tray and wear for 4 minutes prior to and following the whitening agent. Brush teeth with a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth. These toothpastes contain potassium nitrate, which helps soothe the teeth's nerve endings. Whitening Product Safety Some whitening products you get through dentists' offices as well as professionally applied (in-office) bleaching products have the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance, which tells you that the product meets ADA guidelines for safety and effectiveness. Currently, only dentist-dispensed home-use products containing 10% carbamide peroxide and office-applied products containing 35% hydrogen peroxide have this seal. Over-the-counter bleaching products are not endorsed by the ADA, because the organization believes that professional consultation is important to ensuring safe and effective use. No whitening products using lasers are on the ADA's list of accepted products. Several whitening toothpastes available in drugstores have received the seal, too. You can find a list at www.ada.org. Not all manufacturers seek the ADA's Seal of Acceptance. This is a voluntary program that requires considerable expense and time on the part of a manufacturer. Just because a product doesn't have the seal does not necessarily mean that the product isn't safe and effective. Teeth whiteners are not drugs and therefore aren't regulated by the FDA. Choosing an Over-the-Counter Whitening Kit Try to select a product that allows the mouthpiece to be customized. Some kits come with a tray that can be molded to some degree. These are better than others that come with a standard mouthpiece. Look for online reviews and ask around to find out what others who may have already tried the kit you're considering think about it. If at any time you experience a prolonged change in the color of your gums or an increased tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages, stop wearing the mouthpiece and see your dentist immediately. Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening Does insurance cover the cost of teeth whitening procedures? No, not typically. Do teeth whiteners damage tooth enamel? Studies of teeth whitening products using 10% carbamide peroxide showed no effect on the hardness or mineral content of a tooth's enamel surface. Do teeth whiteners damage dental restorations? Over 10 years of clinical use of teeth whitening products containing 10% carbamide peroxide have not shown any damage to existing fillings. Do teeth whiteners damage a tooth's nerve? There's no evidence that the teeth whitening process has a harmful effect on the health of a tooth's nerve. One study reported that at both a 4.5- and 7-year follow up, no one who used a teeth whitening system needed a root canal procedure on any teeth that had been whitened.

Learn moreLED Teeth Whitening Kits: How They Give You a Dazzling Smile?
LED teeth whitening kits are groundbreaking products that have made dental care affordable, convenient and hassle-free. Most of us don’t naturally sport pearly whites - we almost always need Best LED Teeth Whitening kit to be patient and put in some effort to get there (and then sustain it!), especially since our teeth don’t stay the same colour throughout our lifetime. So Why Do Our Teeth Go Yellow? The thin outer layer our teeth, also called enamel, is also the toughest tissue in our body. Our enamel is pretty hard but it gets thinner with time. As we age, we begin losing our enamel which is also the most visible part of our teeth whitening. The enamel gives way to dentin, which is yellow. Certain foods and beverages such as coffee, wine, dark chocolate and certain berries can stain our teeth whitening. Moreover, some diseases and medications can also cause tooth stains and discolouration. Many other factors, ranging from lifestyle choices (e-g smoking & drinking) to poor dental hygiene (not flossing or brushing regularly) can also make our teeth look dull or yellow. How Can I Prevent Teeth Discoloration? It goes without saying that regular dental care and hygiene is vital - you can floss regularly, use whitening toothpaste and combine it with a powerful plaque-busting mouthwash to minimize your risk of dental discoloration.

LED teeth whitening methods have shown major promise as far as teeth whitening is concerned. Teeth whitening kits with LED lights have received hundreds of positive reviews. So, let’s take a moment to understand what teeth whitening LED lights are, how they work and whether they can effectively reduce plaque-buildup and give you a dazzling smile! What is a Teeth Whitening LED Light? “LED” is short for “light-emitting diode,” a device that emits visible light when connected to a power source. Most LED teeth whitening lights to come in a single colour, which can be anywhere between red to blue - but most LED teeth whitening kits come with blue lights. The best-LED teeth whitening kits make use of a set of different lights (varying wavelengths and frequencies) to achieve results. Teeth whitening LED lights are usually very intense and bright. They are a lot more cool, stable and power-efficient, compared to standard lights that heat up too rapidly and burn out too quickly. In the past, UV rays were used by dentists in standard whitening procedures - but researchers found that prolonged exposure to UV rays during UV light enhanced procedures could pose a danger to our eyes and skins. Moreover, UV rays were found to be abrasive and unsafe because they caused cell mutation. Unlike UV rays, which are a form of ionising radiation (a trigger for cell mutation), LED lights are visible, which means they are safe cannot cause cell mutation. That’s why they’re considered a safer alternative to UV rays. At LaserGlowSpa, our LED teeth whitening kits contain a set of luminous blue LEDs that deeply cleanse your teeth while tackling the most stubborn stains and a set of intense red LEDs that play a protective role and shield your teeth and gums. How Do LED Teeth Whitening Kits Work? Here’s how most LED teeth whitening kits work: First, you apply a tooth whitening gel (usually a mild bleach-based solution) to your teeth. Then, you let your LED-studded mouth guard work its magic. The LED lights work as a catalyst and speed up the cleansing action. Remember, the LED lights alone won’t be effective against discoloration: they work with the whitening agent. After application, the whitening agent works by powerfully removing superficial stains and intrinsic discoloration by changing their chemical structure. The LED lights in the mouth guard speed this process up, stimulate deep cleaning action and protect the gums. Are LED Teeth Whitening Kits Safe? LED teeth whitening lights are a lot more safe and accessible than UV lights. They pose no health risks and can be safely used at home. However, LED teeth whitening processes make use of mild bleach so you must carefully follow the directions specified on the instruction manual. Laser Glow Spa’s LED teeth whitening kits have been designed by a team of licensed dental hygienists. Our experienced dental health specialists used a combination cutting edge technology and kosher ingredients to create safe, hygienic and simple dental care sets - so you can create your hassle-free dental rituals in the comfort of your home!

Designed by Experts: LED teeth whitening kits by Laser Glow Spa have been designed by seasoned dental hygiene experts. Mild, Kosher and Vegan Our LED teeth whitening gel is made of fast-acting organic, kosher and vegan ingredients. Risks: LED teeth whitening kits have been approved by dentists and are safe to use. Compared to other teeth whitening methods, LED teeth whitening kits have minimal side-effects. However, LED teeth whitening techniques are not for everyone. Some of the cons of LED teeth whitening include: Temporary Sensitivity or Irritation: Our oral tissue is pretty sensitive so you may notice that your teeth and gums have become a little sensitive right after you finish a LED teeth whitening treatment. If you experience any sensitivity or irritation, it will go away soon because oral cells heal and regrow very quickly. In the meanwhile, you should use a mild toothpaste and be gentle while brushing your teeth. Laser Glow Spa’s LED teeth whitening kits are used by thousands of Americans. So far, our LED teeth whitening reviews have been largely positive - with less than 1% of customers complaining about irritation or sensitivity, and that usually happens when the customers have an underlying dental condition that causes gum sensitivity or an allergy. Whitening Methods Are Not Permanent: Sadly, this one’s true. As we have already mentioned, our teeth become yellow because our enamel gets thinner with time. As we age, the pigmentation of internal dentin also begins. Our teeth may become yellow at different rates, but they’ll continue to turn yellow naturally, regardless of which teeth whitening method we opt for. Results May Vary: The results depend on the rate at which your teeth are yellowing. If you have a greater plaque buildup, you may need more potent in-house treatments. Use the shade card enclosed in the package to assess your current teeth colour, and set a realistic goal for yourself. Laser Glow Spa’s LED teeth whitening kits make use of a powerful carbamide whitening agent to make your teeth up to 5 shades lighter and get rid of stubborn stains. Won’t Work for Everyone: If you are pregnant, planning on getting pregnant or breastfeeding, its best to delay your LED teeth whitening session for now. While LED teeth cleaning processes have been approved by dentists, they’re still relatively new so their effect on pregnant or nursing women has not been studied yet. So, to be on the safe side if you’re pregnant or nursing postpone your LED teeth whitening session for later. Teeth whitening kits are also not the best option for children; you should schedule a consultation with your dental care provider if you’re worried about signs of early discoloration. Other people who cannot use LED teeth whitening kits include people with dentures and elaborate dental procedures such as crowns, veneers or bridges. An in-house consultation session with a dentist may work best for you if you want to work through your dental whitening options. Can Be Overused: You should closely follow the instructions enclosed in the package because no whitening gel should be left on teeth for too long or applied too often or it can cause permanent tooth damage or sensitivity. Follow the instructions on the manual to create your dental whitening routine. How to Use a LED Teeth Whitening Kit?

It is manufactured from high quality and durable material. It’s also reusable.

Remember, no teeth whitening method can work overnight. You need to be patient and follow a dental whitening routine consistently for at least 5 days to notice visible results. Whitening results also depend on the current state of your teeth: for people with very yellow teeth, it may take weeks of regular use to experience the difference. However, there are some steps you can take to make sure that your teeth remain healthy and sparkly in the long run. These include: Maintaining oral hygiene Follow the instructions enclosed in the package Cutting down on staining foods such as coffee, red wine, tomato sauce and curries Lifestyle changes such as cutting down on cigarettes or quitting altogether if you smoke Regular dental check-ups *Here’s too confident smiles!

Harsh bleaches - When first starting out in the arena of getting teeth their whitest dentists came up with a quick fix. They simply used the same kind of products that are used to get that ketchup stain off of your pair pants and used it in your mouth. These no doubt attacked the tooth enamel and burned the gums if they went too far when applying it to the teeth. Ultraviolet Treatment - For a while this was the most advanced form of teeth whitening you could get, and it involves using concentrated rays of ultraviolet light applied directly to the teeth. They even went so far with this technology as to bring it home so people could use it without going to the dentist. Sounds like it could get scary if placed in the wrong hands. Lasers - these days you can even find dentists using lasers to blast the yellow stains off your teeth and leave them dazzling and shiny.

Wondering how to whiten your teeth fast and safely? While you may be compelled to try some quick fixes that promise overnight results, proper dental care is the only way to keep your teeth pearly white and healthy in the long run. So, if you want to have sparkly white teeth, you’ll have to put in some time and effort to create an effective tooth whitening & oral care routine - and stick to it patiently. Your teeth whitening routine may take some time to yield results, but it’ll all be worth it in the end, especially when you can smile freely! Wondering where to get started? With a wide range of teeth whitening products on the market shelves, it can get really hard to pick one that works best for you. That’s why we have collaborated with dental hygiene experts to pen this simple guide. Our comprehensive guide covers the best teeth whitening products, their function, benefits, and usage. Remember, amazing as these teeth whitening products are, they work differently for everyone because our teeth gather plaque (and yellow up) at different rates. That’s why its important to see which of these teeth whitening methods work best for you and create your own routine line-up. How to Whiten Your Teeth Fast and Safely? Creating an ultimate routine that is effective at whitening your teeth and countering plaque buildup is not difficult - especially with the host of teeth whitening solutions available in the market. From DIY dental sets to whitening toothpaste, dental strips and charcoal extracts to dentist-approved LED whitening kits, there are a lot of options to pick from. Let’s discuss some of the top-rated oral care staples and teeth whitening products, how they work and how you can incorporate them in your teeth whitening routine: 1) Pay Attention to Your Basic Dental Care Trio We are beginning with the basics. The basic dental care trio consists of three steps; brushing your teeth, flossing and gargling with mouthwash. Brushing your teeth regularly reduces plaque buildup, flossing removes excess food particles that your toothbrush can’t reach and using mouthwash counters both plaque and harmful bacteria. If you want to whiten your teeth quickly, you can step up this staple using the right whitening products: Recommended Product: LaserGlow Day + Night Toothpaste. How Does It Work? Day + Night toothpaste is a specialized whitening toothpaste that contains active ingredients that prevent teeth stains, combat plaque buildup and whitens teeth safely and rapidly. Dual-action toothpaste that cleans and whitens teeth in a single step. Its unique micro-foaming formula is particularly effective at removing the most stubborn plaque reserves, dissolving leftover particles and preventing gum diseases. Usage: Wet your toothbrush, pump a pea-sized quantity of the paste onto and brush your teeth in a gentle circular motion. Rinse and floss afterward. Follow this mini-routine twice a day (before going to bed at night + after waking up in the morning) for the best results. 2) Take the Organic Route with Natural Activated Charcoal If you have sensitive teeth or gums, you can even go the natural route and rely on effective natural remedies for whitening your teeth. Some chemical-infused whitening toothpastes are just too abrasive for your sensitive teeth. Using them can chip away at enamel, the tough outer surface of your teeth that protects it against tooth decay. By comparison, natural teeth-whitening methods are a lot milder on the teeth. They preserve the enamel while thoroughly cleansing your teeth and giving it a natural glow. Recommended Products: Natural Activated Charcoal Teeth Whitening + Bamboo Brush How Does It Work? Natural Activated Charcoal Teeth Whitening Powder is a great cruelty-free, vegan and organic option for cleaning your teeth. Activated charcoal is super-absorbent. It acts by latching onto bacteria, food residues, stubborn stains and tartar in your mouth and removing them rapidly. It has the overall effect of detoxifying the mouth and whitening the teeth. We recommend you only opt for an authentic active charcoal powder that contains no extra additives or chemicals. Usage: Wet the soft-bristle bamboo toothbrush that accompanies the product and dip it into the powder jar. Shake off excessive charcoal and gently brush your teeth in circular motions for 2 minutes. After you’re done, rinse your mouth thoroughly to get rid of all the residue. 3) Go Bright and White with Dentist-Approved LED Whitening Kits Dentist-approved LED Whitening Kits make use of the latest technology and advanced teeth whitening techniques to give you a set of pearly whites within a few weeks. The best dental teeth whitening kits come with elaborate instruction manuals so you can easily use them at home. Compared to in-house dentist trips, LED Whitening Kits are a much more cost-effective and convenient way to whiten your teeth. Recommended Products: Wireless LED Whitening Kit or Smartphone LED Whitening Kit How Does It Work? Top-rated LED Teeth Whitening Kits come complete with a mouth tray, a USB charger, an applicator and a mild bleaching agent such as carbamide peroxide gel. This non-invasive method to whiten teeth works well, even with sensitive teeth. The carbamide peroxide gel, manufactured using high-quality and kosher ingredients, works as an active ingredient that disintegrates into hydrogen peroxide (the bleaching agent that is responsible for the whitening action). The LED lights that come as a part of the kit quickens this chemical reaction. Usage: Use for 5-7 days without skipping days in between. Simply paint the bleach gel on your teeth and bite down on the LED tray for 25 minutes. Use the kit up to twice a day for faster results or at night time.
