what is the best way to whiten teeth?

Without going to the dentist for expensive cosmetic procedures, what are the best ways to whiten your teeth?
--------------------
Don't use bleach or bleaching cream! Those things have chlorine in them and are very toxic!! You should use a product that has hydrogen peroxide in it. Don't gargle with just plain hydrogen peroxide. This won't do anything because you won't have it in your mouth for long enough. And you run the risk of swallowing it or using too high of a percentage and burning your mouth. There are tons of teeth whitening products out there that use hydrogen peroxide. Crest Whitestrips are one. Another one that I love and that we recommend from our dental office is the e-Bright Tooth Whitening Accelerator. This nifty little thing uses the same kind of whitening gel as Crest Whitestrips, but it also uses blue LED light to accelerate the process. So it will only take you three, 20 minute sessions to get the same results as you would using Crest Whitestrips twice a day for two weeks. Your other option is to do in-office power whitening. These treatments can be expensive, but they're only about 30-60 minutes long (it varies depending on how strong the gel is) and the results are better than the results that you would get with the home whitening treatments. My personal recommendation is Beyond Power Whitening. (I work for a dental office - so I had to research all of these things before we invested in them). This system is better than the more well-known Zoom one. It's only 30 minutes long and doesn't burn your lips or mouth like the Zoom treatment can. You also have a lower risk of sensitivity from the treatment. We charge $450 dollars for the treatment in our office and everyone is always really happy with the results. My advice: Do your research before you put anything into your mouth! The last thing you want to do is damage your teeth or mouth while trying to whiten your teeth. Good Luck :) Source(s): www.ada.org www.beyonddent.com www.ebright-pro.com www.crestwhitestrips.com
