Teeth whitening and the three big options




Teeth whitening (also known as tooth bleaching) giving you a sparkling white smile is probably on the wish list of more people then any other cosmetic procedure. Through out America, Europe and the UK, teeth whitening has become big business with many people no longer leaving it as a wish but making it a reality.





A healthy white smile can do wonders for the 1st impression of anyone. Not only does it enhance people attractiveness but boosts a person confidence and can be a valuable asset when meeting people for the first time. It is unbelievable at what a grey, brown or yellow smile says to people on a 1st meeting. It is widely known that appearance and it's perceptions can catapult some people, and hold others back in the business world. It is no coincidence that Gordon Brown opted to have he's teeth whitened, or that Celebrities and pop star alike are great fans.



There are three options for those thinking of Teeth whitening.



One: Professional Teeth whitening, which can be carried out by a dentist or Qualified Teeth technician. Many clinics are offering an 1 hour Teeth whitening treatments with instant results. Be sure to research if the treatment will leave you with Teeth sensitivity as many people that have experienced Teeth sensitivity after whitening are very much put off and would not repeat the experience again due to the intense pain. There are many professional treatments available that don't sensitise the teeth. Professional tooth whitening is probably the most expense whitening available but if you shop around you may find clinics doing special offers. Just because your dentist is offering it for £600 it doesn't make it your only option!!!! Many others offer it for between £180 - £250 giving exactly the same results.



Two: Home whitening kits, are advertises as Dental strength whitening gel which you can use in the privacy of your home. Many dentist also sell these but the worrying thing is if you have a reaction you can have side effects that last for some time. A lot of the home kits can also cause sensitivity and many people have given up on continuing treatments with expense kits when their teeth became too sensitive. The cost of these can also vary greatly from £6.00 to £100 via the web, dentist surgeries being the most expensive from £150 upwards.



Three: Teeth whitening/ bleaching tooth pastes are widely advertised by brands we already use on a daily basis. Many of them are not strong enough to see great results but they may give better results then your average non-whitening tooth paste. Be sure to use recommended products (the web is very good for this) and not to spend to heavily.






So when all is done it really is down to research and budget as to what is best for you.

To Teeth whiten or not to teeth whiten.


Teeth whitening has become a big market in the most recent years, making teeth whitening a fairly routine procedure. Many Men and women are choosing to have their teeth whitened and turn back the years on their pearly whites. But is this the right route for you?


Many people feel too embrassed to ask advice about their teeth from friends. They are worried that it may get them remarks that may leave them feeling worse about themselves then they already do.



From looking into the mirror while brushing our teeth twice daily, we are all very aware of the state of our teeth. It is not uncommon to wish them to look whiter, brighter or cleaner.



Unfortunately darkened or discoloured teeth are a classic sign of ageing and can make people feel very self conscious. I have come across people who are unable to keep eye contact with people due to feeling it will highlight the flaws they have with their teeth.



Teeth whitening is one of the most safest cosmetic procedures available, and unlike many cosmetic treatments it is not falsely altering your appearance. You are just taking your teeth back to the whiter colour they once were.


The good news is treatment for teeth whitening is now widely available. The techniques and prices also vary greatly. There is also the choice between professional teeth whitening within a clinic or home kits.


One thing I would suggest before paying for any teeth whitening is find a clinic which allows you to have a free consultation and let them grade your teeth, so you can see how stained your teeth truly are. This will also give you a good indictaion of what teeth whitening can achieve for you. You may be surprised but many people have a distorted idea of if their teeth are discoloured or not. Reputable Teeth whitening clinics should allow you to book a consultation.
