Teeth Whitening Tips - Not For Just Celebrities Anymore
Teeth whitening is not just for celebrities and models anymore.
Now the general public has developed the desire for "celebrity" white teeth and because of the new demand many methods and price ranges of whitening products have come to the market.
And it does not cost as much as it did a few years ago.
Here are some teeth whitening tips that can save you money and time: (1) Teeth whitening swabs.
The use of swabs to apply a whitening solution to the teeth has made great inroads lately.
Not only are these swabs catching the attention of the average person seeking whiter teeth but they have gotten the attention of the celebrity world as well.
It seems the main reason for the movement to this whitening method can be placed with two main advantages.
The first is that it is rather inexpensive compared to most other systems, with the possible exception of "homemade" bleaches and some over-the-counter whiteners.
The second reason is that it is regarded as the easiest to use and requires less time than others.
(2) Teeth whitening trays.
Usually you would go to your dentist and have a mold of your teeth made and then trays made from the mold.
There are a few places that sell "blank" molds that can be heated and push onto teeth to form a mold.
The problem with the dentist mold is that it is expensive, probably $400 plus and insurance will not help.
The "homemade" molds are not very good and don't fit to teeth adequately to achieve smooth even whitening.
(3) Whitening strips.
The whitening strips not as popular as they once were.
The strip is placed on the teeth and held there for a period of time.
This is a messy and most of the time poorly effective whitening method.
The strips advantage is that they are inexpensive.
(4) Blue or laser lights.
Using lights to speed up the teeth whitening process is growing but still controversial or at least confusing.
The system is simply to apply the normal bleaching agent (carbamide peroxide) to the teeth and then place a light that will help to activate the peroxide.
This certainly increases the cost of the procedure since the lights are expensive.
The resulting whitening shades and longevity from blue lights to "laser" lights can vary just as whether it is done professionally by your dentist or at a salon.
