The problem, then, is to decide which product or method whitens teeth the fastest. Although many of these products are safe to use, some contain ingredients that can be harmful to your teeth in the long run because they damage the enamel. Strips, trays and products that you paint onto your teeth are the three main types of teeth whitening products on the market. According to research, paint-on tooth whitening products normally work much faster than strips, and results with trays follow closely behind. But the majority of people find trays to be uncomfortable. It’s often nearly impossible for people who have a strong gag reflex to use tray whitening systems. These people and others can purchase tooth whitening strips at most drugstores and department stores. These will help brighten your smile, even though they usually take a little longer to do the job than paint-on products. Performing the whole at-home whitening process usually takes approximately fifteen minutes per day and when done properly, can produce amazing results.

Naturally, just brushing your teeth and flossing on a regular basis will produce cleaner, whiter, healthier teeth. But if your teeth are stained, you might want to find a solution that works faster. If your stains are caused by food, beverages or smoking, teeth whitening strips can be used every day to eliminate the stains eventually if you do not want to have your teeth professionally whitened by a dentist. Know, though, that although it can be costly, professional dental whitening is the quickest method of removing stains from your teeth.

At-home tooth whitening kits are effective against stains, and noticeable results can usually be seen within a week or two. Using at-home teeth whitening kits, along with brushing morning and night, flossing, avoiding tooth-staining foods and beverages like coffee and wine, and avoiding smoking will help you keep your teeth white.

When trying to decide which product will be best for you, consider how stained your teeth are and how your smile looks. There are many products available to help you in your quest to whiten your teeth and enhance your smile, but remember to continue your regular daily dental care and visit your dentist regularly to make sure that your teeth and gums remain in good shape.
