Can You Really Whiten Those Yellow Teeth At Home?

Consumer Reports wrote that you can get "Home kits do whiten teeth for far less than you'd pay for a professional treatment." The two products tested were la jolla teeth bleaching, which was rated as good, and Crest Simply White Night, which was rated, very good. Are these products really right for you?

One of these products is used for 30-minutes twice a day, the other is brushed onto your teeth and worn on your teeth all night. Would you be comfortable doing that? Would the taste or the feeling of gel bother you? These are important questions because with personal care products you have to know what you will tolerate. The main difference is that Crest Whitestrips are worn twice a day, for 30 minutes at a time while Colgate Simply White Night is a gel that is brushed onto your teeth before you sleep. Neither are flavored and after a few days, most people get accustomed to either method. However, the main reason consumers do not get the full benefits of their whitening kits is because they prematurely stop usage before the recommended time (usually 14 days). There can be many reasons for this. After all, while la jolla teeth bleaching is not poisonous (lucky you) it can be unpleasant if you swallow some and it can make your throat sore.

Crest and Colgate recommend continued usage of their products to improve your teeth whiteness level. Consider purchasing another teeth whitening kit to whiten your teeth even more

If you want a bombshell smile, there is the time to bring in the heavy artillery like

Zoom! Whitening Once the patient is seated comfortably, the doctor places a retractor in your mouth to keep it open. The Zoom! whitening gel is then applied to the teeth. A bright light is then shone on the teeth for an hour. The gel is activated by the light, causing the teeth to whiten. The BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening treatment consists of a hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel activated by a special, patented light operating in the "blue spectrum." The patented BriteSmile light is wavelength- matched to the whitening gel to effectively whiten and brighten teeth in just about an hour. There is no technology associated with take home whitening. In-office whitening systems use proprietary technology, but all operate on similar principles of light activated whitening.

The in-office Dentist teeth whitening system of Rembrandt works in a similar manner.
