What is the best way to whiten your teeth over the counter products?

All over the counter products work about the same. Some are pastes, some are gels and some are strips. The major down side with a lot of these products is that they have a rebound effect. Meaning that your teeth will want to go back to the color that they were before. Now if you smoke and/or drink coffee or tea this rebound effect will occur relatively fast. Over the counter whitening products are great if you have a occasion or event to go to and you want your teeth white for that, but for long term bleaching their not that good.





I would look around for a dentist who offers bleaching trays or Zoom whitening at a good rate. Usually you can find advertisements in the local circular. With in office whitening systems your less likely to have much of a rebound effect. Because of this you will not need to bleach quite as often. If you added all of the bleaching products that you would need to buy over the course of t 3 -4 years, you actually would be close to a in office system.





If you have crowns or deep white fillings on your front teeth they will not whiten. Lastly, if someone recommends brushing with straight baking soda and rinsing with peroxide. DON'T DO IT. It causes tooth much damage to the tissues.

Crest WhiteStrips work pretty good. However, for the fastest results only a dentist can get your teeth their whitest. ZOOM or Britesmile. Procedure is done in the office in about an hour. Cost can range anywhere from $280 and up.....
Reply:I use peroxide mixed half and half with water and it doesnt do anything bad. It does owrk too if you do it right before you bruch for like a minute. It says right on the side of the bottle you can use it as an oral rinse.


That;s what the products in the store are made of anyway, and they are actually stronger.


I dont think the baking soda thing is a good idea though!
