Costs Of Various Tooth Whitening Treatments
Are you ready to get your teeth as white as they can be?. Information is available at yourbrightestsmile.com/ that can help. You might be thinking that you have to try a natural remedy for tooth whitening in order to get the job done in as cheap a manner as possible. But, the truth is that even professional whitening treatments, while they can cost a good deal, are usually well worth the investment in terms of results. Here is a breakdown of the general range of costs for a variety of teeth whitening treatments from home remedies to over-the-counter products to treatments you can only get at your dentists office.
Home remedy treatments are only one of many options. The cheapest route to go is that of home remedies. If you have a box of baking soda and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide around, you have the fixings for a pretty effective tooth whitener. For about two dollars, you can obtain these ingredients and use them together or separately to whiten your teeth. You want to be careful brushing with the baking soda, though. It is very abrasive and while it does help reduce the appearance of stains, it also can weaken the tooth enamel. The effects of weakened enamel can be sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages. Hydrogen peroxide can help whiten your teeth when you use it as a mouth rinse. But, be aware that while these are safe and very inexpensive ingredients, they can require a lot more time to see the results that you are after and the results will probably not last a long time, either.
Store bought whiteners are another option. You can ask your dentist about the effectiveness of most of the tooth whitening products on the market today. Most agree that the name-brand strip whiteners are tremendously effective at whitening teeth. These can cost anywhere from $25 to $50 for a number of treatments in each box. The problems with these strips are that if you overuse them, they can seriously sensitize your teeth and gums. They can also discolor your teeth if you use them too often resulting in a bluish tinge to your teeth. This is a temporary condition which clears up as soon as you stop using the product. However, as long as you use the product as directed you should enjoy white teeth for a relatively affordable price. Once you stop using the strips, you might notice your teeth go back to being a shade or two darker within a few months.
Professional dental treatments are a third option. Your dentist offers the most effective and long lasting whitening results with bleaching systems like that of Zoom or Brite Smile. These will cost about $200 to $500 for just one session, depending on the system, but the one session is all you will usually need to get a beautiful white smile. Besides this, your dentists professional bleaching is done in about one hour. They also use a desensitizing agent professionally formulated to keep your teeth and your gums from experiencing sensitivity brought on by bleaching.
