We’ve all heard the mysterious home remedies for whiter teeth. Things such as blending baking soda and strawberries, chewing spinach, using wood ash or even brushing with lemon juice! Although these may help (except for the lemon juice!), there are other more effective ways of attaining brighter teeth through over the counter teeth whitening that can be done within the comforts of your home. Due to the large boom of teeth whitening products, there are now varieties of teeth whitening toothpastes, strips and trays all easily attainable and at a reasonable price. This article will aim to introduce you to and compare these several methods of teeth whitening at home.
Toothpaste is the least expensive and simplest way to get rid of those surface stains. There are a lot of brands competing for your business. Crest alone has a plethora of whitening toothpastes in flavors such as Vanilla Mint, Herbal Mint, Lemon Ice, and Cinnamon Rush. And its competitor Colgate isn’t far behind. Toothpastes advertised as “whitening” products do in fact work for they include minute particles, usually aluminum oxide or hydrated silicas, that when coupled with the scrubbing action of a toothbrush, remove the dirty debris from the surface of the teeth. Teeth whitening toothpaste is excellent for surface discolorations, but for a true internal color change, other methods must be used.
Besides toothpaste, whitening strips are also greatly effective and can easily be purchased anywhere over the counter. Crest WhiteStrips are ranked highly as a teeth whitening product. The strips are a clear, flexible plastic tape that is designed to stick to your teeth and whiten them over the course of 30 minutes. The product is intended to be used twice a day, every day over the course of one week to achieve results. Though this home teeth whitening method is very affordable, not everyone is willing to walk around for an hour a day with whitening strips in their mouth, especially when there are one hour teeth whitening products available
Whitening trays are the next effective home method for whitening teeth. Most teeth whiteners work by removing the old enamel from your teeth and exposing the new, white enamel underneath. The best of these products is the NutraBrite Dental Rejuvenation System kit which blows into competitors out of the water. Ranked as one of the best teeth whitening trays, NutraBrite not only strips the bad enamel from your teeth, leaving a shining smile like those from laser treatments, but includes calcium and minerals to fortify and strengthen your teeth…and the best part is, it only takes ONE HOUR. Gone is the hassle of having to whiten your teeth for up to a week before seeing any results.
