Best Teeth Whitening Methods

 ** Ashamed to smile? Don't be! You CAN get whiter teeth! **

teeth whiteningYou heard the expression: a smile can go a long way. Deciding to invest in best teeth whitening procedures or even cosmetic dentistry (if needed) is one of the most important beauty decisions you'll make.

A nice smile is your best business card

How nice it is to see a smile on someone's face. Your husband, a close friend or, even better, your child. A smile comes from the heart, it's true and genuine. It's your best and most natural asset so let's make it count.

If you are considering teeth bleaching or want to see pictures of my teeth, see here.

I was having dinner witfriends recently and was introduced to a lovely, friendly woman of 35. She was very interesting person and entertained us with her many exotic travel stories. It was so fascinating to listen to all the places she had visited, all the people she had met. We had a great evening. However, every time something amusing or funny was said, she covered her mouth to laugh. It was done discreetly but I noticed and felt emphathy. She was hiding her teeth.

I know exactly how she felt. I was like her for many years.

My teeth are far from perfect but they are white now :-)

LIPSTICK I'd been struggling with my smile for many years. I went from having perfect teeth as a teenager to having crooked and yellow teeth in my thirties. The older I got the weaker they seemed to become.

Four years ago, I decide to take action.

I put braces on (again!) and for 6 months was a 35 year old nerd :-) I received many stunned glances at cash registers or even at my work place. It was all worth it though. Although my teeth will never be completely straight and perfect, the results are a much improved smile and a new found confidence.


Best Teeth Whitening products work in 2 ways:

  • bleaching the natural tooth enamel beyond its surface. Peroxide formula is usually used for this more intensive and effective procedure. 
   
  • removing stains on the surface. Chemical agents such as baking soda are using for this and they are generally toothpastes.

Best Teeth Whitening Tooth Pastes

Nowadays, all toothpastes claim to be "whitening" but are they really?

The answer is NO. Some toothpastes are more effective than others.

These are harmless ingredients and you can use them on veneers, dentures etc, although they don't work as well on these artificial surfaces. These products are good for polishing, dimishing stains and brightening your teeth.

Rembrandt Dazzling White is recommended by dentists. It has a money back guarantee (30 days for results) and includes a bleaching gel to make your teeth look whiter. It does work on minor stains or moderate yellow teeth, I find.

Utra Bright Baking soda and Peroxide Whitening is another whitening toothpaste. I find the title a little misleading. It leads us to believe the dosage of the two ingredients is high. It's not but it will still work on very minor stains.

These are just a few best teeth whitening toothpastes. I will list more soon so keep coming back!

Extra tip ==> I know this might sound crazy but it's a proven method for reducing yellow teeth. Eat tomato sauce! You're probably laughing now, I know. But red camouflages yellow. Whenever I eat tomato sauce with my pasta, my teeth look sparkling white. Try it, you've got nothing to lose :-)
