Can the Brits Learn From the Americans at Teeth Whitening?

by Jay Scot Edwards



You only have to see posts and forums on the internet and the USA is mad about the look and colour of their teeth and rightly so. In many parts of the USA like California or Florida they have great weather for vast periods of the year and this outdoor lifestyle means with tanned skin the desire for whiter teeth is higher than the colder regions where people spend more time inside.

Also the stars on TV in the USA have perfectly formed, looking and bright white teeth that seem to look almost too white but these images on our screen and in glossy magazines is what everyday people desire and want to achieve.

Now we are going to advocate spending hundreds of pounds or dollars on expensive cosmetic dentistry we are talking about using a whitening product regularly enough to incorporate in to our everyday lifestyle and look at amazing but cost effective ways of keeping our teeth healthy and looking whiter.

So what we are saying is that the teeth are porous and this means we need to keep working at keeping them white as our diets tend to stain our teeth, whether that is our favourite Starbucks coffee or our favourite Chablis red wine!

Many of the cheaper home kit products are worth starting with to try and see how the teeth start to whiten. These types of kits which includes trays, laser lamps, whitening strips and pastes can be effective at the more surface staining and help to remove these quite easily. The more deeper staining is more challenging as this would have accumulated over a longer period of time and therefore the lower strength home kits might struggle against these stains.

If you are struggling to remove these deeper stains then try a professional system like laser, power or zoom whitening system which is more powerful and will whiten the deep more effectively but will also cost more money. The big benefit of these systems is they will whiten the teeth with big changes in just over one hours session but like they say you pay for what you get and this is true when it comes to the teeth whitening business.

Another more expensive but effective option is the bleaching trays supplied by the dentists. These trays are made to fit the mouth and teeth so they are comfortable to sleep in them overnight which slowly and gently whitens the teeth over a 14 days treatment period.

Once the deep staining is removed using the professional system then a home kit to maintain the whiteness results is a good idea and this is what the American public has done so you get a cheaper more resilient solution going forward ensuring the results are maintained and long lasting.

Teeth whitening is here to stay so ensure regular trips to the dentist to keep the teeth healthy and good luck!
