Home tooth whitening can be a complicated thing. There are so many different options and brand name tooth whitening kits that it can be confusing and difficult to find the best product. There are certain questions you should be asking about the product. How much can it whiten? How long does it take for it to really change my teeth? How long do the results last? How expensive is it? Is it worth it in the long run? How difficult is it to use? How will it affect my life?

      Home tooth whitening can be achieved through the use of off the shelf whitening supplies like whitening toothpastes, whitening floss and white strips. These are quite cheap but do not provide dramatic results. In the case of whitening toothpastes, they are meant to be used every day to provide results. It is also unfortunate that the effects do not last very long. You need to keep using them and this can be expensive. Sometimes more so than using a professional tooth whitening system.

      If you are looking for a professional home tooth whitening kit there are several choices available to you. These systems generally use clear plastic whitening trays that are placed over the teeth after a whitening formula is squirted into the tray. You wear the trays overnight for 3 to 7 days depending on the system you are using. These whitening systems whiten more and the effects last much longer than with products that you can buy at the drug store. The whitening trays can be made by a dentist but with some systems they provide the option of making an impression for the tray at home and then sending it out.
