toothpaste whitening

Paint-on whitening gel hardens into a film that coats the teeth, and dissolves in the mouth. As with any teeth whitening regimen, it is wise to consult with a dental professional before use. Teeth whitening strips are thin, flexible plastic (polyethylene) strips with a thin film of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on one side.

Whitening strip kits come with two types of strips: strips for the upper teeth and strips for the lower teeth. The bleaching agent is applied by placing the strips across your teeth and gently pressing the strips into place to ensure contact with all your teeth.

Teeth whitening strips are typically worn for 30 minutes a day, twice a day.

The duration of treatment will vary. The least expensive options are whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes.

Designed to have whitening capabilities, toothpastes and mouthwashes work to remove surface stains using mild abrasives.
