Types of teeth whitening
In-office teeth whitening
This provides us with amazing results. This process is performed by the teeth whitening dentist at his dental clinic. This procedure takes about an hour and you get an instant outcome. This procedure is a bit expensive but the instant results can save you lots of time.
Teeth whitening trays and gels
These trays and gels produce effective results but they are more time taking than in-office whitening. The strength of the gel decides whether it is to be worn for a few hours in a day or keep it overnight. It will take 3 days or a couple of weeks to show effective results. Generally, there are two kinds of teeth whitening trays and gels – one that you purchase from the counter and the other prescribed by the dentist.
Whitening strips
These whitening products have become very popular in every drug store. These are not costly, user-friendly and gives better results. They make take a longer time to produce results.
Whitening toothpaste
Whitening toothpaste is available at any store. They have mild abrasives that remove stains from your tooth surface. These types of toothpastes are more effective than regular toothpaste.
Over the counter Whitening products

There may be some after-effects noticed after the treatment like tooth sensitivity. Even your gums may also be irritated for a short period of time. These side effects are temporary and if they don't go,
visit your dentist. To avoid any kind of problems make sure you follow all the instructions given by your dentist or product. In the case of whitening products do not use it more than required or written in the product. Excess of whitening can be harmful to your enamel.
