    The best ways to whiten teeth

     

    Whiter teeth can have a big impact on everyday life. A whiter smile can help you be more confident and outgoing and overall happier as you might be more likely to smile more. 

     

    If you feel like your teeth are stained, yellowed, or not white enough in other ways, you might consider whitening them. You can have them professionally whitened, you can use at-home whitening methods, and you can use whitening toothpastes. There are so many options, it’s hard to know what’s the best way to whiten teeth.

    Professional teeth whitening methods  

     

    The most efficient, safest, and most recommended way to whiten your teeth is with your dental professional. Make an appointment and speak to them for an in-office treatment.  Dental professionals can use a variety of methods to whiten your teeth, but the most common is a specialty whitening gel that they apply to your teeth in their dental clinics. 

     

    Many dental professionals will offer a one-session whitening treatment where they often utilise a LED light to efficiently and safely whiten your teeth such as the Philips Zoom whitening treatment. This kind of treatment can remove deep stains within your teeth, instead of just the surface stains (from coffee or tea).

    Take-home Methods  

     

    Specialty kits like our Zoom! Teeth whitening kits can help you achieve the smile you want at home. To achieve the best results, consult with your dental practitioner to get the right treatment for your needs and preferences. They may be able to advise a personalised at-home teeth whitening treatment.

     

    The Zoom kits provide a couple of options. Something like the NiteWhite option whitens your teeth while you sleep, which is ideal for some people. Your dental professional will give you a schedule to follow and warnings to consider. For example, most dental professionals will not recommend whitening treatments for children or for pregnant people. Your dental professional will always recommend the right whitening method for you.

    Over the counter treatments  

     

    Over the counter teeth whitening treatments are available and very popular. They may help your teeth look whiter. These treatments, however, will not be removing deep stains in your teeth and will only be able to address the surface stains. To maintain clean-looking teeth, you may need to use over the counter treatments again and again. Some products may even damage your teeth.

     

    Because over the counter treatments aren’t recommended to you by a dental professional, it’s vitally important that you pay attention to the instructions of your whitening treatment and follow them to the letter. For a safer method with more guaranteed results, you should always speak to a dental professional.

    Specialty oral care

     

    Sometimes, the best way to whiten your teeth is with the appropriate oral care. There are plenty of toothpastes and toothbrushes available that are designed for the exact purpose of helping you achieve whiter teeth. 

     

    Teeth whitening toothpastes are still under scrutiny, with a lot of people wondering, do whitening toothpastes work? The answer is that some do, some don’t. They work to remove surface stains, so they’re especially handy if you’ve just had a coffee or dark wine and are worried you might stain your teeth. These toothpastes are more effective when paired with a specific tooth whitening toothbrush.

    DiamondClean

    If you’re brushing your teeth with a manual toothbrush, you might want to consider switching to an electric toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes are a lot more efficient at removing plaque and surface stains and achieving whiter teeth. 

     

    A brush like the SoniCare DiamondClean brush is full of features to help deliver whiter smiles. The DiamondClean brush head has specially designed and shaped bristles to help whiten teeth over time. 

     

    If you’re looking to achieve and—importantly—maintain clean, white teeth then taking proper care of your overall oral hygiene is always helpful.

     

    Regular brushing and flossing can always help to improve and maintain good looking teeth.
