If you have healthy and unrestored teeth then you are a good candidate. Before using any of the products and following up with the procedures it is always best to consult with your dentist first.

Below we have Provided a List of Teeth Whitening Products and Systems

Teeth whitening toothpaste: While all toothpaste can remove stains to a greater or lesser degree, tooth-whitening toothpaste contain a special chemical or polishing agent that makes them more effective. But, whitening toothpaste is good only for removing surface stains. They do not contain bleach. They can lighten your teeth’s color by about one shade only.

Whitening gels: These peroxide-based gels remove stains when applied on the surface of the teeth with a brush. Initial results can be seen within a few days and the results last for up to four months.

Whitening strips: These thin and almost invisible strips are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel that removes stains when applied to the teeth. Initial results can be seen within a few days and they last up to four months.

Whitening rinses: Whitening rinses are like mouthwashes and are used in the same way. However, they contain whitening agents, such as hydrogen peroxide. It can take up to 12 weeks to see the results.

Teeth whitening tray system: This system is provided by a dentist. Plastic bleaching trays in the form of a mouthguard are made individually for each patient. They are filled with a whitening gel and placed over the teeth to be worn for a set number of hours day or night that is prescribed by the dentist. This system can have great results and keep the teeth whiter for a couple of years.
