Internet, brochures and books. Teeth can be stained due to many factors like smoking and drinking coffee. Different causes will have different level of stains on the teeth. You should choose the best teeth whitening method depending on the amount of stains on your teeth.

The first teeth whitening review is about over the-counter whitening kits. These are probably the most common used by people as they can be easily available and used. They also do not cost much compared to other teeth whitening methods. Some examples of these easy to find whitening kits are like teeth whitening toothpastes, gels, strips and gums. Teeth whitening toothpastes are probably the most popular option around. We need to brush teeth daily and therefore; these toothpastes ease us in our daily teeth cleaning routine while providing the benefit of teeth whitening. This type of toothpastes only gets rid of stains on the teeth surface and cannot remove stains deep in the tooth. Overall, since they are pretty cheap compared to other options, they have very limited effectiveness and need very long time for the teeth to show noticeable results. They might not work on very dark stains as well.

Next, there are also ways to whiten teeth that are conducted by dentist. There are many types of approaches taken by dentists, however, let’s look at the most commonly done method. Whitening gel is being applied to a patient’s teeth and a light will then be shone on the teeth to activate the gel and aid in the whitening process. It provides instant results and it is the most effective method so far. However, it is very expensive and this method can cause teeth sensitivity. It is also not suitable to be performed on all types of teeth and gums, especially unhealthy ones.

Finally, there is also another teeth whitening method which you can perform at home. It is different from those over-the-counter ones because it is prescribed by dentists for some patients. It has teeth whitening gel as well as a gel tray. You need to apply the gel on the tray and then place the whole thing in your mouth for some time, depending on several factors like the amount of stains and type of gel used. It is able to achieve the results like the process done by your dentist. However, it needs to take longer time to prove its effectiveness.
