Home Teeth Whitening: Effective and Inexpensive
Everybody wishes to have a shinning bright and warm smile that will leave a permanent impression on the onlookers’ mind. People are born with the set of temporary milk teeth that are milky white in color, but this set of teeth fall off. A new set of permanent teeth arrives, which, during early years of life retain proper color. But for maintaining the color one should adopt either home teeth whitening or other cosmetic dentistry procedures.
As the person starts growing and the eating habits change their teeth start getting discolored. Junk foods, colas, red wines, alcohol, chocolates, coffee, cigarette, all contribute to the yellowing of the teeth. Foods and beverages have chemicals in them that cause harm to the teeth and gums. Therefore, to have shinning white teeth one must prevent and remove such unpleasant stains from the teeth with the help of cosmetic dentistry.
Â
Cosmetic dentistry provides solutions for removing and reducing such stains. One such process is teeth whitening. Teeth whitening techniques are of two types, ‘in-office’, which are to be carried out in the dentist’s chamber and the others are ‘at-home’ or home teeth whitening, which can be done at home. Like it is said charity begins at home, proper dental care should begin at home with home teeth whitening products. If we are conscious about our eating habits and take regular care of our teeth then we can avoid visiting a dentist for cosmetic dentistry.
Using natural home teeth whitening substances to clean the stain on the teeth is a cheap and easy method than visiting a dentist. The processes are mostly harmless and safe, provided we choose the right home teeth whitening product. Using lemon juice and baking soda to brush their teeth are simple yet effective methods adopted widely for home teeth whitening.
Home teeth whitening can only brighten the color of teeth up to one or two shades and cosmetic dentistry carried out by a professional dentist can brighten teeth color up to eight shades. Therefore home teeth whitening processes are for people who do not suffer form acute discoloration and for people who are not obsessed to attain milky white teeth.
The most common, easiest, and cheapest way of home teeth whitening will be to use whitening toothpaste. However, they take longer time than cosmetic dentistry procedures. Taking a little help from the dentist and cosmetic dentistry products, one can go for home teeth whitening. One such process is ‘brush on formula’, where a teeth whitening gel is applied on teeth and to left to dry overnight. Teeth whitening strips are also available that can be used at home. You can also use peroxide bleaching gels which ensure better results.
Using the teeth whitening gels can have side effects. Pregnant and lactating women, children below sixteen, and people with weak and sensitive teeth and gum should not try these gels. The one who wishes to go for the process must consult the dentist as different gels may have different effects on individuals.

These are somethings that can help:
You may want to start by speaking with your dentist. He or she can tell you whether whitening procedures would be effective for you. Whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellow-ish hued teeth will probably bleach well, brownish-colored teeth may bleach less well, and grayish-hued teeth may not bleach well at all. Likewise, bleaching may not enhance your smile if you have had bonding or tooth-colored fillings placed in your front teeth. The whitener will not affect the color of these materials, and they will stand out in your newly whitened smile. In these cases, you may want to investigate other options, like porcelain veneers or dental bonding.
If you don’t want to do any of that you can try using these things….
-In-office bleaching
-At-home bleaching
-Whitening toothpastes
Hope I helped

Lemon juice, baking soda or baking powder can also be used for teeth whitening. Strawberries are natural teeth whiteners, simply rub them directly on your teeth or mash into a paste and apply. Apple cider vinegar can also be used for teeth whitening.

Bleaching using the commercial teeth whitening gels is one of the cheaper and more convenient way. But you must see a dentist for advise whether your teeth are suitable for the procedure. Some people have prominent fillings or crowns which will stay the same color after the treatment and will suddenly look unsuitable, others may have sensitivities to some of the chemicals used.

No one’s teeth are naturally white. They are different shades of white so you can never really get 100% white teeth. But there are products which can help you remove stains and give your teeth a cleaner look.
The best way is to go to a dentist and pay for a teeth whitening treatment. But that is generally reserved for people who have badly stained teeth or people who have had their braces recently removed.
For an average person, there are several solutions available in the market. The most popular are whitening strips. They are popular because they are the easiest to apply. But they may not be the most effective. I tried out strips but they didn’t work for me because they kept coming off, and they take way too long to make an affect.
I resorted to using baking soda and bleach but it was too painful.
The best solution I have come across is the teeth whitening tips. It’s the closest thing to what the dentist use. It’s a powder you apply on your teeth using tips, which removes stains and such. I used it for a week with good results
I saw the ad on CNN. Here’s a link to the site
