Teeth become less white over time because the enamel is becoming more porous that discolors it. Drinking red wine and coffee, the fluoride in tap water, and smoking are some of the factors causing discoloration. As what is believed by many, having white one boosts confidence but bleaching can be costly. Good for them because there are various solutions in whitening teeth.

Most people resort to this product because it is less expensive. Whitening toothpaste can be bought at local supermarkets or groceries. Check out the label if there is the blue covarine component. It creates its magic by creating an optical illusion that will make it appear less yellow. Brush twice every day and see the results from two to four weeks.

The second method to whiten the color is through the trays. They contain carbamide peroxide which is effective in removing surface stains. A peroxide gel will be applied on to the surface. However, in other brands, some gel are already at the tray that will mold to the teeth. This tray is worn daily for more than a week. It should be worn for half an hour to forty five minutes.

Another method that will boost your self confidence and flash that killer smile is through strips. They are finished with peroxide gel, thin, and virtually invisible. They are easy to wear and worn for minutes every day. It will last a year, however, the result is seen after few days.

While there are over the counter products that will whiten discoloration, some people still choose the age old home remedy. Brushing using a baking soda is proven effective to remove stains. And also, fruits which trigger saliva such as carrots, pears, apples, and celery wash away the food stains.

Whitening pens are also available at the drugstore. They are used in painting the gel on the teeth. After applying, eating and drinking for half an hour to forty five minutes shall be prohibited. Or they will rinse the gel on your mouth. Though they are not that effective to whiten discoloration, they are effective to freshen the breath.

The most impressive way to bring back that killer smile is through laser bleaching. A rubber shield will be put to gums and the gel with bleaching effect will be placed on your teeth. After that, it will placed you into a bright light where in it incites the chemical in the bleaching gel into action. This process can be expensive but, it can last for more than a year depending on your maintenance.

As a person grown older the outside layer of enamel wore away. It is important to monitor the foods eaten to maintain that killer smile. As much as possible, avoid drinking coffee because they are the culprit of discoloration. As soon as a person drink more coffee, the more the stains will develop and the more that it will become noticeable.

There may be remedies in whitening teeth but never should you forget to maintain the cleanliness of your mouth. Some may be cheap but you should avoid eating and drinking the products which stain the color excessively. Or else you will go back to basic and apply all bleaching agents to whiten the stain.
