(A) Using over-the-counter trays or guards that have to be heated and then molded to the teeth are usually not as successful as the dentist made trays. Many times the home made trays will not fit closely to the teeth and may give an uneven stain removal and brightness. Dental trays are much more expensive though as well as time intense with trips to the dentist office.

(B) Most store bought teeth whitening kits use a stain removal agent with a form of peroxide such as carbonate peroxide. This mixture can be irritating to the teeth and gums if the bleach is too strong or is left in contact with the mouth and gums too long.

(C) The usual rate of peroxide contained in stain removal gels is around 15% and 25%. If you are sensitive to mouth irritations such as tender or bleeding gums you might possibly opt for either a weaker blend or a quicker process time. Of course this can decrease the teeth whitening success.

(D) When using dental whitening trays, strips or paint-on procedures be certain to brush your teeth to begin with to remove not just food particles but also any oily type films that might decrease the ability of the teeth whitener to penetrate to the stains.

(E) It is suggested by most bright teeth whitening products that you try to prevent the bleaching agent from contacting the mouth’s soft tissues, like the gums, lips, etc. as little as possible. Excess gel can be removed with a moist cloth or swab.

Many other teeth whitening procedures are available on the market such as whitening tooth paste that should be considered when determining the right mix of uses for your family. Certain products are more for the bleaching and teeth whitening treatment while others are best used to sustain the whiteness of your teeth.

One major thing you can do yourself to improve your smile and improve your appearance is to whiten your teeth. There are many methods available for teeth whiten that will meet your budget and whitening needs.

Here are 5 teeth whitening methods and precautions:

(1) There are many do-it-yourself whitening kits available depending on your budget and the amount of time you can spend whitening your teeth. It could help you a great deal to consult your dentist as to what types of teeth staining you have. Some teeth discoloration is not going to be corrected with over-the-counter bleaching agents. In fact some brown or gray teeth stains cannot be whitened. In talking with your dentist you should keep in mind that the dental profession as a whole does not endorse the DIY methods. A big part of this as to be that in the office teeth whitening has become a large part of the dental practice and business.

(2) Around half of the people that use teeth whiteners will have some tooth or gum soreness or sensitivity. If you have gum problems or just very sensitive gums you should use caution in the concentration of the whiteners peroxide. If you experience bleeding after you brush your teeth you may have a problem with whitening agents. When it comes to whitening gels, usually the shorter the time or days it should take to whiten your teeth indicates a stronger concentration of peroxide.

(3) If you have caps, crowns or fillings that can be seen when you smile keep in mind that bleaching may not work on these surfaces the same as your tooth enamel. A problem can be if the dentist shaded the cap to match dark teeth then it cannot be lightened. Caps can be replaced with whiter material if this is an issue but that is an expensive solution.

(4) Always follow the teeth whitening products recommendations about after-treatment rinsing. Some mouthwash can hurt the whitening process while others may actually help.

(5) Pregnant or nursing women should not use any teeth whitening methods without consulting with their physician first. All teeth whitening products contain chemicals not normally ingested and caution should be used.

Hope these teeth whitening methods and precautions help.

Why is the swab teeth whitening method different?

Almost all teeth whitening whether diy, over-the-counter, in the office, etc. is done with some mixture of peroxide. And so does Alta White Teeth Whitening. The difference is the application method and other ingredients used to whiten, activate the magnesium peroxide or polish your teeth. The Trial Order comes with 12 applicator swabs, enough for 6 days of whitening. The tips of the swabs are filled with a solution of glycerin, peppermint flavoring, methylparaben, propylparaben and water. You also receive a small jar containing magnesium powder.

To use a swab simply break the seal off the swab’s tip opening the cotton swab end containing the damp solution.  You then dip the tip of the swab into the little jar of powder and apply it to the surface of each tooth. The magnesium peroxide is activated by the liquid from the swab to form a substance that discharges oxygen and lifts stains from your teeth. The powder also contains aluminum trihydroxide, which polishes your teeth.

Other differences include helping to remove plaque from your teeth while doing the whitening. And since the formula acts virtually on contact you don’t need to keep it on your teeth for long each time. Also, you are given a money back guarantee.

The time required for all other teeth whitening procedures is very long. With this diy method you eliminate, among other things, some trips to the dentist and some hours of wearing trays.

You don’t have to spend hundreds or even thousands for white teeth as you did just a few years back.

Let’s Look At Some Teeth Whitening Tips

That can save you money and time:

First, teeth whitening swabs. Although not new, the use of swabs to apply a whitening solution to the teeth has made great inroads lately. Not only are these swabs catching the attention of the average person seeking whiter teeth but they have gotten the attention of the celebrity world as well. It seems the main reason for the movement to this whitening method can be placed with two main advantages. The first is that it is rather inexpensive compared to most other systems, with the possible exception of “homemade” bleaches and some over-the-counter whiteners. The second reason is that it is regarded as the easiest to use and requires less time than others. The unusual use of whitening agents and swabs are better described in the blog post below “DIY Teeth Whitening – Swab Applicators”. Also there is a Trial Version of our recommended swab whitening system.

Next is teeth whitening trays. Normally you would go to your dentist and have a mold of your teeth made and then trays made from the mold. There are a few places that sell “blank” molds that can be heated and push onto teeth to form a mold. The problem with the dentist mold is that it is expensive, probably $400 plus and insurance will not help. The “homemade” molds are not very good and don’t fit to teeth adequately to achieve smooth even whitening.

Then comes whitening strips. The whitening strips have fallen in popularity. The strip is placed on the teeth and held there for a period of time. This is a messy and most of the time poorly effective whitening method. The strips advantage is that they are inexpensive.

Finally the use of blue or laser lights. The use of lights to help and speed the teeth whitening process is growing but still controversial or at least confusing. The system is simply to apply the normal bleaching agent (carbamide peroxide) to the teeth and then place a light that will help to activate the peroxide. This certainly increases the cost of the procedure since the lights are expensive. The resulting whitening shades and longevity from blue lights to “laser” lights can vary just as whether it is done professionally by your dentist or at a salon.
