There are now many different ways you can brighten your smile. You dont have to spend a fortune to get that smile white and bright again. You can go to your local grocery store and get
teeth whitening gel to use at home. You have options and many of them are very affordable.
Many teeth stains come from food, coffee, soda and smoking. You dont have to stop drinking and eating just because your teeth have become discolored. You can get them white again in no time without having to sacrifice your favorite things.
There are different types of
teeth whitening gel found in the stores. You can find many that contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The most common bleach used is hydrogen. It works by turning into oxygen molecules and then attaching itself to the stain to remove it. The reason your teeth probably look dull is because the stains block the light. If you whiten them you will notice they are much more translucent and therefore whiter. The gel works by removing the stains and letting more light in. Youll want to show that smile again once you know it is bright and shiny.
The method that is most common to apply
teeth whitening gel is trays. There can be many found in the kits that you get from the local store or you can get one from your dentist. If you buy one from the local store you can expect to get a standard tray that doesnt conform to your teeth. If you want to make your own tray you can just buy the gel by itself and then form a mouth guard to your teeth. You can boil some water and stick the guard in and then use on your teeth to form. You can then the gel into each little indent in the tray, being careful not to use too much. Once you have the gel in you can put it on your teeth. You should usually keep the tray on for a few hours each day to see the best results. You can ask your dentist what they recommend is the best for you.
The most common amount of peroxide that is found in teeth whitening gel is 15%. Your dentist may give you something stronger, usually 20%, or you can get as low as 10%. The amount you need will depend on how much whitening you would like to do. You can end up with that shiny smile again once you find the gel that works for you.
