What You Need To Know About Teeth Whitening Products 
As the pursuit of perfection increases, fans are trying to match the physique of their favorite stars including their pearly white teeth. Over the years, teeth whitening products have become popular, and these companies are raking in millions of dollars every year. However, how much do we really know about teeth whitening products? Are they good for our health? Are there any side effects of using these products regularly? Well… this article is here to answer some of the boggling questions you may have about teeth whitening products.

Our teeth, unfortunately, cannot keep up with the glossy pearly white appearance forever… at least not naturally. As we age, the teeth darken naturally from the inside, and bad habits such as drinking coffee excessively or prolonged use of tobacco can hasten the process of teeth discoloration. Furthermore, lack of oral hygiene can stain the teeth, as the build-up of plaque leads to tartar formation. Unfortunately, your soft bristles of the toothbrush cannot remove the sticky, brown substance, and it will require dental treatment for removal.

Do over-the-counter teeth whitening products give you the desired result?
It is tempting to try out over-the-counter teeth whitening products when you do not have the perfect shade of white, and of course the time and money to see a dentist. Nonetheless, these products sold in such places can be dangerous and can lead to sensitivity and brittleness problems.
Furthermore, all whitening products will not successfully give you the pearly white teeth as you hoped and complications can arise if a product is used more often than recommended by the manufacturer

Carbamide peroxide is the primary active ingredient in over-the-counter teeth whitening products, which breaks down into hydrogen peroxide (a bleaching agent) when dissolved in water. Bleaching of the teeth regularly, using products made with carbamide peroxide can strip away the lighter enamel and can cause painful side effects and a blotchy appearance by exposing the darker dentin below.

Moreover, worn enamel makes teeth more brittle, which leave them more prone to cracking or chipping. In extreme cases of enamel erosion, teeth can become flexible and bend when pressure is applied. The teeth can also become more sensitive even to the point where you have to avoid eating certain foods like ice cream without the protective enamel coating.
It doesn’t mean we all have to let nature take it cause and watch our teeth gradually discolor as we age. You can seek the help of a professional before you participate in teeth whitening.

Importance of professional whitening
The best option is to consult with your dentist before going for a teeth whitening treatment because not all teeth whitening procedure will work, especially when you have coverings to your teeth like porcelain veneers. In addition, bleaching agents in teeth whiteners will not affect these materials, and there will be noticeable discoloration between the whitened teeth and dental coverings.

Your dentist is the only person that can help you keep your teeth white and bright without worrying about the side effects. Dentists provide professional guidance to direct you to the most effective whitening treatment for your teeth, which will save you from damaging your teeth and having to live with painful consequences.

How to care for the teeth
Caring for the teeth especially when you start in the early stages of life can save you a lot of money; encourage your kids to take care of their teeth, let them know the effects of lack of oral health. However, good oral hygiene is more than just perfect white teeth; flossing regularly, brushing twice a day, rinsing mouthwash and regular dental check-ups are all part of a good oral health routine, which aids to maintain a perfect smile. Nonetheless, if you need to whiten your teeth, please consult with your dentist for professional, honest, and well-informed advice before undergoing any treatment.

Know that proper dental hygiene is very important, that consists of flossing, brushing at least twice a day, being careful of the things you eat, such as Red Wine, Coffee, Tea, corn, and popcorn which can be some of the worst things.
