Whats the best way to whiten teeth?

There are several types of products available for use at home. Some of these tooth whitening products can be easily purchased off the shelves of pharmacy while others are dispensed by your dentist. One popular tooth whitening product that you can use is bleaching solution that contains peroxide for bleaching tooth enamel. The bleaching agent in these products is usually carbamide peroxide, which is available in 10, 16 and 22 percent concentrations. Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels. In addition to bleaching solution, whitening strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe tooth bleaching gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.

Close-Up is supposed to be good - well according to Consumer Reports. Personally - I would go to a dentist specializing in tooth whitening processes. Some use just a gel you put in your mouth for a while - some use trays - there are other methods too I believe

Seriously, nothing works better than letting the dentist whiten them for you.

There are so many products on the market right now for that, but you want o be very careful because these can also take the enamel off your teeth. You need the enamel to help keep you teeth strong and cavity free. You can always use plain old baking soda instead of toothpaste, every other few times that you brush. You might also want to buy toothpaste that has baking soda in it. Try talking to your dentist he can also do a procedure that will whiten teeth, but again remember that you will be loosing some enamel. Keep smiling:)
