Before flashing your big, bright smile, do you heistate becasue of the discolored teeth? Then you may want to consider teeth-whitening treatments. Here’s how to choose the right tooth-whitening treatment for you.
Professional Bleaching Trays. With this method, your dentist will use an impression of your teeth to design custom bleaching trays that perfectly fit your teeth. At home, you'll use a special bleaching solution in these trays daily for one to two weeks.
Laser Bleaching. With laser bleaching, a barrier is put around the gum tissue and a strong bleach is put on your teeth. A laser light is used to activate the bleach and make it work. Because your gums are protected and you are under the supervision of your dentist during this professional teeth-whitening treatment, the bleach is a stronger solution than one you’d use on your own at home.
Over-The-Counter Teeth-Whitening Kits. Today, there are many types of over-the-counter teeth-whitening products available. You can buy kits to make your own trays, gels, swabs, strips, paints — there are many different ways to actually get the bleach on your teeth.
