Teeth Whitening

Is it ok to whiten your teeth?

Teeth whitening is one of those quick beauty fixes that can totally change your look while knocking out your pocketbook. Many dentists have jumped on the trend & offer teeth whitening in their offices, or you can splurge at a whitening spa such as BriteSmile. But while nothing will work as fast as a professional laser whitening procedure, the over-the-counter remedies will give you great results, according to New York dentist Dr. Jennifer Salzer in the September 2005 issue of Lucky Magazine.Here are some options to try:1. The strips. Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus have improved over the past year and now are much longer to cover your teeth. Their secret ingredient is 10 percent hydrogen peroxide, which is pretty powerful.

This bleaching tray system is a bit pricier than the strips & contain only 6 percent hydrogen peroxide, but they work great, as well, and are easier on sensitive teeth.3.
toothpaste. The toothpaste is actually better for maintaining your white smile after you've lightened. So use #1 or #2 and then invest in some toothpaste. Just remember to drink your tooth-staining coffee & dark sodas from a straw.
