So many times with teeth whitening people can get a little confused by the different products and treatments available but here we want to keep it simple.

I think we all would agree that showing off a lovely set of bright white teeth looks just great and really boosts our self esteem and confidence. I cannot remember any negative associations between a white smile and someone’s perception that this smile is not healthy and radiates wealth.

With teeth whitening the essence of how the teeth get stained is because on the surface there are thousands of micro pores or ducts which hold the staining caused by everyday things like smoking, coffee, cola, tea, curries, red wine, soya sauce, tomato pasta sauces and even fizzy drinks can make our teeth look yellow and brown in colour.

Because teeth have changed colour does not mean the teeth are unhealthy as the staining process should be kept separate to the overall dental healthcare. Sometimes our perception would swing us towards the fact that a big smile with yellow teeth looks dirty but rarely this is the case.

The teeth should get stained over many years as the staining will build up in the enamel and soaking up the colorants in the foods and drinks we place in our mouths and if this change has been slow then you are an ideal candidate for the teeth whitening. If however your teeth have changed colour very quickly then it is worth speaking to your dentist as there could be an underlying issue with the dentin which sits under the enamel. The part of the tooth rarely changes colour and therefore it is pointless trying to whiten the dentin.

The laser option will take less time but will cost you more money and the home kit option is a bit of a diy system taking longer but only costing a few pounds.

Many times if the staining is more towards the surface of the tooth then a home kit will work quite well but the trouble is you do not know how deep the staining is until you try whitening. Many of the home kits will lift the staining but if you are having trouble then it would be worth trying the laser option.

Home kits work but need to be used regularly as they only take a small fraction of the staining out of the teeth every time they are used and for this reason they need to looked at as an ongoing activity.

The laser option being more powerful needs only periodic boosting treatments maybe every 12 or 18 months to really stay on top of the teeth and keep them white. Once the laser system treatment has been completed a good hybrid model is to use a home kit to keep the teeth white throughout the year.

To conclude I hope this has helped you recognise the benefits of teeth whitening and also about maybe about trying a home kit and see if it works if not at least the laser system is there for you!
