Best Teeth Whitening Options

Teeth whitening peroxide might be the answer for those looking to bypass the flash and hype of many over-the-counter teeth whitening products and get to the root of what works. Already used as the active whitening ingredient in nearly all teeth whitening products, peroxide is very good at removing stains and making your teeth sparkle. There are some limitations and precautions that should be considered when using peroxide as a teeth whitener, but as you’ll read in this article, the general consensus is when it comes to teeth whitening, peroxide works…and well.

Over the years testing has been done and dentists have found that using a 10% carbamide peroxide mixture will successfully whiten teeth with very little risk to patients. In fact, many dentists don’t want you to know this, but many of their expensive treatments are predominantly made of the same 10% peroxide solution. This means that you can get results similar to those the dentist can give you, but at a fraction of the cost. While the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) has approved peroxide as a safe teeth whitener, it’s always best to consult a physician or dentist about your particular situation.

Many over-the-counter bottles of peroxide that you can buy at the drugstore are only 3% peroxide and 97% water. This concentration level will whiten teeth but not as quickly or efficiently as the 10% solution, which is the maximum concentration level that has been approved for teeth whitening by the FDA. For this reason, you should be sure to get the 10% mix. 3% bottles are sold at most drugstores for about $2. In order to get a 10% solution you may have to purchase the over-the-counter whitening products which are typically a bit more money, but still inexpensive compared to dentist whitening costs. A quality 10% teeth whitening peroxide product is Dr. Collins All White Bleaching Gel, which comes highly recommended and can be found in most drugstores.

If you’re considering having your teeth whitened but are concerned about prices and results, teeth whitening peroxide is a good place to start. The treatment is available low cost and is proven to achieve noticeable results, quickly and with little risk. Even if you’re part of the minority who doesn’t see results from peroxide teeth whitening, at least you’ll find out before forking over a ton of cash to have your teeth whitened professionally.
