Teeth Whitening Options

Let me tell you how to get white teeth. I know specifically how to do this because I’ve tried so many different options over the years. (I’m a coffee drinker, you see. I’m also a smoker. The odds are against me.

White teeth for some people happen when they start using whitening toothpaste. Let me tell you about whitening toothpaste – it doesn’t work. Sure, it will help a little bit. Maybe it will keep your teeth from staining further or take off a layer of brown or two. But let’s face it; if your teeth are bad enough that you know you need to whiten them, then toothpaste won’t do you any good either.

The next store-bought option is to buy whitening kits. These are terrible tasting, foul smelling, and they don’t really work either. Why? Well, whitening kits put a watered-down bleaching solution on your teeth, usually held in place with plastic strips or retainers. You’re supposed to follow directions and keep them on your teeth for several minutes at a time, meaning that you have to hold saliva filled with bleaching solution in your mouth for that long. If you swallow, you’ll regret it.

Then you have to do this all over again the next day, with some bleaching kits requiring twice a day treatments. At the end of two months, sure you’ll notice whiter teeth. You’ll want so desperately for your teeth to be white (mostly so you can give up the whitening treatments) that your brain will provide the color for you. And if they do work in some small way, it still isn’t enough. Your teeth will either not be white enough (which was my problem) or they will go back to brown too quickly for your taste.

The best option is to go to a dentist for your teeth whitening procedure. Sometimes your regular dentist will be able to whiten your teeth without a problem, but some dentists won’t or can’t do it. That leaves you with the option of finding a cosmetic dentist near you who won’t charge you a fortune. Personally, I looked up “teeth whitening in West Allis” and found someone I really like. He works in a regular dental practice and does a great job whitening my teeth. And with my teeth the way that they are, that is a small miracle.
