Look through any glossy magazine and you will see a tooth whitening product being mentioned or advertised but really what are the tooth whitening techniques and what is going to work best? Here we look at the systems and discuss in more detail.

The teeth tend to change colour because of the different things we put in our mouth and for younger people this tends to be fizzy drinks like cola which have a high level of staining in them. For slightly older people it can drinks and foods like coffee or curries which change the teeth’s colour but either way let us not focus on the negatives but more on the positive elements which include having a bright white smile which looks much better than the dull, stained teeth you have today!

The different tooth whitening techniques –

We have split these in to home and D.I.Y. products and professional services just so there is no confusion and make the information easier to understand.

DIY

Toothpastes – in the main the only toothpastes that really make the teeth appear whiter are the ones that are slightly gritty as these will help remove any external type staining. Ideally you should use your normal paste most days and once every two weeks use the gritty version to keep the teeth free from external staining.

Mouthwashes – these are new to the market and reportedly whiten the teeth. Today I have not used any of these but theoretically over a period time could help to manage the whitening as the enamel will absorb the mouthwash and whiten.

Strips – these work well for lighter staining or a useful tool for keeping the teeth white after a professional treatment but do not expect the whitest smile with the strips and they need to be used regularly and repeatedly to get best results.

Mouth guards/trays – these are similar to the strips and use a carbomide peroxide which is gentle on the gums and soft tissues and results are similar to the strips.

Professional

Laser whitening – is now very popular because it offers instant results and takes about sixty to seventy minutes in total to complete. This is a powerful and effective method of whitening that gets in to the deep staining to remove the colour from the teeth and reveal a much brighter smile.

Zoom whitening – this is a system that is similar to laser but is performed exclusively by dentists all over the world. The brand was started in the USA and has become a well known whitening brand name.
Power whitening – in the USA power whitening and laser whitening are the same thing. The name has come from the fact is it a powerful way of whitening the teeth without the need for multiple sessions or treatments.

Bleaching trays – after the dentist has made some specially fitted trays to fit around your top and bottom teeth you need to sleep in the trays for fourteen consecutive nights. After the initial program you will have the trays to use for future top up treatments to maintain the whiteness.
