Teeth whitening products are no longer difficult to find and purchase nowadays, giving everyone the chance to boast a brilliant set of teeth.
These products are now very reliable thanks to the advanced technology in the products that have enhanced their effectiveness.
The first teeth whitening products presented some side effects, that have now been eliminated.
These products tended to be damaging to the teeth's enamel, due to their abrasive content.
They would rub away the stains as well as layers or enamel and weaken the teeth.
The results were increased sensitivity to cold and hot external agents, the weakening of the tooth's structure, and they were also more prone to future stains.
New research finally resulted in the use of more natural elements, such as hydrogen peroxide.
Nowadays laser treatments can also be used to whiten teeth with immediate results, while preserving the structure of the tooth and enamel intact.
Products for home treatments that can now be purchased by most of us, contain various levels of hydrogen peroxide, for best teeth whitening results.
The products you may purchase over the counter also contain hydrogen peroxide in minor quantities, and as opposed to home remedies are less stronger.
With home teeth whitening treatments you will obtain faster results.
All treatments with a peroxide content are safe to use, even though the percentage in the product may be higher than another.
If used accordingly, they will not be abrasive to your teeth and will whiten your teeth effectively without side effects such as gum irritation and sensitivity.
Some of the less expensive and strongest teeth whitening products now available in stores are Everbright Smile, Idol White and Premium White Pro.
These teeth whitening products come in gels and are placed in a tray, then fitted onto the teeth and kept there for a short while, in order for the product to take effect.
You can also find gels in the form of pens, which are practical applicators filled with whitening gel.
These are very practical when traveling, as you apply the gel directly onto the teeth with the pen, leave a few minutes, then rinse.
Home options for teeth whitening have the advantage of being less expensive than dental treatments, and are just as effective.
Some products also offer free trials, to test their value, thus providing non-risk purchases.
Sometimes information is not properly divulged, causing a lot of misconceptions on teeth whitening products available and how they should be used.
Whatever type of product you use, even the strongest, can be used safely without damaging effects for your teeth, if used properly.
