Tooth Whitening Products -The Big Anti Aging Picture
Like anything else, it's different strokes for different folks. There are many varying opinions on which tooth whitening products work and which ones don’t. A lot depends on YOU and your lifestyle. The amount of time whiteners last depends on how much dark, staining food you have eaten or will continue to eat. If you drink six cups of coffee a day, whitening products are not going to last as long as for a person who drinks only one cup a day. That's why its always good to brush after your morning coffee!~  What's great about OTC tooth whitening products is that you can repeat their use over and over without ever visiting a dentist. However, you don't want to overuse them. Frequent use of these products can make your teeth more sensitive to hot and cold. Always follow the directions on the products you use. If you whiten once every six months, you're not spending a lot of money and you’ll be saving your enamels. Whichever system you decide to use, they only work on natural enamels. They will not bleach crowns, veneers or fillings. Before you try tooth whitening products it’s a good idea to know whether they're OK for you to use them. You don't want to bleach something that you shouldn't and wind up having problems later. OTC Tooth Whitening ProductsStrips There are different types of strips that bleach teeth. You can use some for five minutes a day every day, and some for 30 minutes a day for 10 days. They're safe and very easy to use. There are many strips to choose from like Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolve Strips The strips compare to clear Band-Aids. Simply peel off the back of the product and wind it carefully across your top teeth and across your bottom teeth. Press them onto the teeth making sure that all of them stick properly. The bleach in the strips is what lifts the stains and whitens your teeth. Simply pull them off when you're finished. Ampules "Go Smile It comes with little tubes/ampules and a sponge type brush. To use, bend the ampule (which has a clear liquid in it) and sponge it on your teeth. Wait five minutes at least before drinking anything. Spit out any saliva that forms in your mouth. You don't want to swallow the active ingredients. Unlike the strips, brushing the product on enables you to get into every nook and cranny. It's also fast and effective. The instructions say you should use it twice a day for seven to 10 days. GOSMILE Zen Toothpaste For Sensitive Teeth GoSmile B1 Ampules Whichever one you choose, these ampules work quickly and are very effective. For the cost, these ampules are really a great deal!
Paint On Whitening Gels Paint on gels are easy to use tooth whitening products but less effective. You simply paint the fluid in the bottle onto the teeth and leave it for a given amount of time. They seem to be safe but if you lick your teeth or drink fluids, you'll take the bleach right off. Colgate Simply White Night is one paint on product that I've tried in the past. I used one for a while and noticed only a very slight difference. I've read that this product has more peroxide in it than the original Simply White formula. You can buy these tooth whitening products for around $20. Whitening Toothpastes Crest Extra Whitening Toothpaste with Tartar control works pretty darn well for an ordinary toothpaste. Whitening toothpastes 'Go Smile' and 'Super Smile' toothpastes have mixed reviews. There are better reviews for Supersmile Professional Whitening System Whitening toothpastes remove some of the stain off of your teeth, but they don’t bleach your teeth. They are a great way to maintain whiteness though. Crest Toothpaste has the best whitening toothpaste on the market, and is recommended by the National Dental Society. Arm and Hammer products also work well. Baking soda has always been known for its ability to clean well. My grandfather used to brush with baking soda only. Just product for thought! Whitening Pens Whitening pens Which ever tooth whitening products you choose, remember that white teeth become harder to maintain as we age. The best practice for long-term white and healthy teeth is to practice good dental hygiene every day. You’ve heard this all before:o) Brush thoroughly after each meal with a soft-bristle toothbrush, floss or irrigate well, and be sure to brush after eating or drinking things that can stain teeth such as tea, coffee, and blueberries. If you’re in a scrape and need to clean your teeth, and don’t have access to a toothbrush, see if you can find some cheese or an apple. These foods help eliminate plaque which cleans the enamel. These two foods actually work better on teeth than chewing gum. (Gum freshens the breath but doesn’t clean as well…) Also drinking lots of water or lemon water helps keep teeth clean and your body functioning at an optimum! It is interesting to note that recent studies have found that strawberries and dark chocolate contain teeth-whitening enzymes. Hmmmmm...... Sounds like a great plan for your next date!!! Dark chocolate and strawberries!!! Yum! A Different Way to Get Teeth Clean and White! Have you ever heard of oil pulling? Oil pulling is used to help many chronic diseases and disorders. I've been doing it to see if it helps my livedo reticularis. The bonus feature of this healing method is that the enzymes that are created in the mouth during the process, helps take tartar and other stains right off of your teeth. I've actually witnessed pieces of tartar in the sink when I get through oil pulling. It beats the heck out of going to the dentist and having them scrape it off! My teeth look whiter than they've looked in years! If you want white teeth, try oil pulling! Its inexpensive, effective, and a great tooth whitening resource! There are many tooth whitening products to choose from. The bad news is that which ones work best for you will probably have to be determined by trial and error. The good news is that once you find one that works well, you can stick with it! Having white teeth is an integral part of the anti aging formula!
