Home tooth bleaching is extremely popular, partly because it is one of the cheapest cosmetic dentistry procedures available today. It also provides great value for the money because you can get dramatic results for less than most other cosmetic dentistry procedures. But there are a number of options for home tooth whitening and not all of them are created equal. Before you start whitening your teeth at home you should know all about tooth whitening and your options for whitening.

       There are many over the counter choices for home tooth bleaching. Whitening toothpastes have become readily available and are quite popular. Other options like white strips have grown increasingly more common as well and there are even whitening flosses and whitening toothbrushes available. The with these options is that, while cheap, they do not provide dramatic results and need to be used constantly to maintain the white shade.

       Professional home tooth bleaching kits available through your dentist are really the best choice. These systems generally use tooth whitening trays that are custom made to form fit your teeth. A tooth whitening gel is placed in the tray and the tray is then worn overnight. These systems generally take from 2 days to a week to work but the affects are long lasting as well as dramatic. Your teeth will be noticeably whiter and will stay that way for longer than over the counter systems.
