Teeth whitening in Delhi is one of the very common oral treatment that is routinely performed nowadays.

But with the overwhelming amount of teeth whitening products on the market today, you may be wondering if all are created equal. Whether it’s age, foods or drinks or smoking, these all have their impact on the shade of your teeth.

In this blog, we will highlight the on to discover the differences between over-the-counter products and professional treatments and how this popular dental service might be just the solution you need to brighten up your smile.

How Can Teeth Bleaching Services Help Your Smile?

Teeth bleaching/Whitening is the treatment to enhance and brighten the appearance of the smile. Teeth bleaching services can help to lighten the enamel shade of teeth that are:

• Dull or lackluster in color
• Yellowed from age or tobacco use
• Stained from coffee, tea, and other products
• Discolored from medications or illnesses

Over-The-Counter Teeth Whitening Products: Do They Work?

While it may be tempting to run to the nearest drugstore and purchase over-the-counter whitening pastes, rinses, or one-size-fits-all kits, it is important to have realistic expectations when it comes to these products. OTC (over-the-counter) products, while relatively inexpensive to purchase as compared to the cost of teeth whitening, generally have a lower-level of whitening power when compared with professional teeth whitening solutions.

However, OTC pastes and rinses may prove somewhat useful for helping to minimize surface stains that accumulate on the teeth. For teeth whitening products to be most effective, they must stay in contact with the tooth enamel for a certain amount of time (which will vary based on the strength and percentage of peroxide ingredients within individual products).

Even OTC kits that do stay on or against the teeth typically are not able to generate the same results as professional systems from a dentist. While the internet and drugstores advertise an abundance of different whitening products to choose from, professional teeth whitening from your dentist is still by far the best treatment option.

Some of the common OTC teeth whitening products are:

• Whitening Toothpaste

All toothpaste help remove surface stains because they contain mild abrasives. Some whitening toothpaste contains gentle polishing or chemical agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Whitening toothpaste can help remove surface stains only but do not contain bleach; over-the-counter and professional whitening products contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide that helps lighten the color deep in the tooth. Whitening toothpaste can lighten the tooth’s color by about one shade. In contrast, the whitening conducted in your dentist’s office can make your teeth four to eight shades lighter.

• Over-the-Counter Whitening Strips and Gels

Whitening gels are clear, peroxide-based gels applied with a small brush directly to the surface of your teeth. Instructions vary depending on the strength of the peroxide. Initial results are seen in a few days and final results are sustained for about two-four months. But as said earlier it is just an eyewash. The only shade drop is one to two shades as against four to eight shades drop in professional whitening.
