When it comes to having whiter teeth, most everyone will agree that it is important. A smile with great white teeth is also pleasant to look at. If your teeth are no longer white, you can get great teeth whitening at your local dentist’s office.

Getting Whiter Teeth Fast

A dentist can enable your teeth to be made up to seven shades whiter if you have it done in their office. In addition, it only takes about an hour for most people to see those kinds of results! Teeth that are stained from coffee, age, or similar problems can have their teeth made much whiter.

A dentist could also provide you with special teeth whitening agents and trays that you can use at home. A dental exam will be needed first. These materials will be stronger chemicals than what you can get in the store, which means it will take less time to get the bright teeth you want.

The Options

There are many other over-the-counter products on the market that promise to whiten teeth. Some work better than others. They include gels, toothpastes, strips, trays, rinses, and more. While some of these products can give you whiter teeth in a couple of weeks, other ones may take a couple of months, or more.

Causes of Darker Teeth

Several things can work against you when it comes to having white teeth. Besides it being a natural result of growing older, your teeth can also change color because of the foods you eat or drink (red wine), and tobacco. Trauma to your teeth and mouth can also cause a tooth to become darker. Some medications can do the same thing.

 

Why Whitening at the Office Is Better

A dentist can provide you with the best white teeth in the least amount of time. This is true because of two things: first, the dentist will employ means to protect your gums from the bleach; then, secondly, the dentist will be able to use a stronger bleaching agent. The dentist will also have looked over your teeth and mouth first to ensure that it will work well in your situation. Because the dentist is there, stronger and faster measures can be employed safely.
