   Options for whitening your teeth include whitening toothpastes, whitening strips, over-the-counter tooth whitening kits professional treatments, and professional take-home kits. Whitening toothpastes contain abrasives which wear away the enamel. This is not a healthy way to whiten your teeth, nor is it effective in any case, unless you brush your teeth for 30 or 40 minutes each day. Store-bought kits contain generic trays which will almost certainly not fit your teeth. Whitening strips can give some success.

   You see whitening toothpastes only contain minimal whitening agents and so for the few minutes alone in brushing your teeth it would take an extremely long time to produce any noticeable change.

   Whitening “strips” while more effective then toothpaste again only contain mild oxidization activators within the “strip” so here again the results tend to take longer and not as long lasting.

   You really need to find a system that is similar to the ones that dentists use, but in a more affordable solution. These tend to work much more effectively and doesn’t cost you hundreds of dollars like a trip to the dentist would.

   While there are many great brands out there that follow this “dentists system” but the home teeth whitening system I like is
