At Home Teeth Whitening Reviews & Articles

When you see an ad for instant teeth whitening, you might notice that "INSTANT!" is capitalized, exclaimed, or otherwise shouted from the internet rooftops. "Whiten Your Teeth NOW! NO waiting at all!" Yeah, that? That's a bad sign. There are three things to look for when whitening your teeth: safety, speed and cost, and products are usually just two of the three. (That may be borrowed from car-buying manuals, but the rules apply.) If you want, for example, a custom-fitted whitening tray, it will be affordable and safe, but you'll likely need over two weeks to see results. Conversely, if you want something like LED-powered "laser bleaching", it may be speedier, possibly safe (depending on your dentist or teeth sensitivity), but definitely not cheap. And if some miracle product does exist that tackles all three at once, there's one more factor to consider: consistency. Your teeth may be whiter today, but what about tomorrow? And what are the side effects, anyway? ...read more

The biggest concern patients have before whitening their teeth is their dental health. Is the process dangerous? Does teeth whitening hurt the enamel? How sensitive will my teeth be afterwards, and for how long? And overall is teeth whitening safe? Don't worry! The good news is that, when handled professionally and according to the instructions, teeth whitening won't damage your enamel, and any sensitivity will be short-term. Doctors have performed extensive studies with hydrogen and carbamide peroxide mixtures, and found that worries about enamel are "not supported by current research" (Haywood, 1999). But to better understand the science behind the logic, let's take a closer look at our enamel. ...read more

If you're considering bleaching your teeth, you'll probably want to head to your dentist first. Not only can your dentist offer and/or educate you on the variety of teeth bleaching options--like power bleaching or custom-fitted trays, along with lesser options such as whitening strips and whitening tooth paste--but you can also be personally advised as to whether you're a candidate for teeth whitening and what to expect as far as results go. Everyone's teeth are naturally colored differently: some are fortunate to have bright white teeth while others have an off white or in some cases yellow teeth. Teeth whitening will not alter the natural color, it will only remove the stains and restore the tooth to its natural shade of white....read more

GLO Teeth Whitening Vs. Professional Teeth Whitening Trays: Which is better? There's been a lot of talk recently about GLO teeth whitening. If you haven't heard, it's a $200 DIY teeth-whitening technology called Guided Light Optic (G.L.O.) that funnels the power of heat and a neon blue light in a form-fitted mouth tray.

Even though there are at least a dozen causes of tooth sensitivity, there's really only one thing going on: the inside of your tooth is getting exposed to the harshness of the outside world. Our teeth are mostly made up of dentin, which itself is filled with little tubules rife with sensitive nerve endings. Normally, these tubules in the dentin are blocked off by enamel, a protective layer on the outside of every tooth. Dentin hypersensitivity kicks in when we grind away, decay or flat-out crack our enamel, exposing our teeth's delicate insides. ...read more

A smile never lies and speaks louder than words without making an decibel of noise. More often than not a smile is anything other than joy.
