It's no secret that everyone wants white teeth. A perfectly bright smile can improve overall appearance and boost confidence. White, clean teeth are generally healthier than discolored teeth for a number of reasons. There are many over the counter teeth whitening products, along with the professional grade teeth whitening in Frisco TX dental offices. What is the best option for you?
Every person's dental health has a slightly different story, so not all whitening treatments work for everyone. Ask your dentist which treatments would be best for you. But in the meantime, here is a rundown of options for teeth whitening in Frisco TX:
Drug Store Whitening Strips: There are countless brands of whitening strips you can buy at the local drugstore or even the grocery store. Some of these are more effective than others. Certain brands also stick on the teeth better, while others simply slip off. Reading reviews and a little trial and error can help you find the best ones.
Over the Counter Whitening Gels: There are also drugstore options if teeth whitening gel is your thing. Materials to create your own whitening trays comes in the package. Some people have no problem creating trays that fit their teeth perfectly; others find it to be a huge waste of time. This option is usually more effective than natural treatments or strips, but not nearly as effective as the professional strength gel dentists give.
Professional Grade Whitening Gel: This is the most common choice in teeth whitening for those who go to the dentist for whitening but can't afford the in-office whitening procedure. Professional grade gel is extremely effective, and treatment takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on tooth sensitivity. Your dentist will make you a set of whitening trays, which look like clear plastic retainers, and you apply the gel in there and leave it on for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on which bleach your dentist offers.
In-Office Teeth Bleaching: This is the most effective form of teeth whitening in Frisco TX if you want to get the job done quickly. With just an appointment or two, your teeth can be spotless. While this is the most effective option, it's also the most expensive. During these appointments, your dentist will apply whitening gel directly to your teeth. You'll probably have to have an appointment to be sure your gums and teeth are healthy enough to handle it, as this process isn't good for people with extremely sensitive teeth.
Natural Treatments: All natural at-home teeth whitening treatments are common among this DIY generation. Everything from lemon juice to baking soda to hydrogen peroxide are purported to work as teeth whiteners. Of course, most of these aren't necessarily effective or even safe. Talk to a dentist or do your research before you attempt these; some of them may even cause erosion of tooth enamel, which is irreversible.
Whatever avenue you decide to take with whitening your teeth, keep your dentist in mind. He or she can tell you which whitening options are best for your teeth.
