The Way to White Teeth

Nowadays, there's no reason to not have breathtakingly white teeth, as there are new over-the-counter treatments that work absolute wonders. Below, find out everything you ever wanted to know about making your pearly whites seriously shine.

It really works -- and here's how.

Simply put, the kit takes advantage of the same enamel-safe ingredient dentists use to remove deep stains. It's proven to be extremely potent -- and extremely effective.

How long the effect lasts is largely up to you.
You eat, you drink, your teeth lose a bit of their luster. It happens. The actual amount of time it takes for dullness to set in tends to vary wildly from person to person depending on their diet and lifestyle. To maintain ultimate white, use a tooth-whitening kit every six months.

It's surprisingly inexpensive.
A product like Rembrandt's 2 Hour Whitening Kit only costs $22.99 and really does the job to get your teeth whiter and brighter.

Don't panic if your teeth and gums have white spots after treatment.
They aren't harmful, we promise. And they're short term. In fact, they tend to vanish within a few hours of whitening. Take caution, though, in not brushing these areas with a toothbrush, as they could ultimately irritate your gum tissue.

Sensitivity is natural.
Whitening gel can indeed cause some tooth sensitivity or mild irritation of the gums. It's temporary and usually goes away within a few hours or days. If the problem persists, check in with your dentist.

It's easy to use.
Shape the applicator to fit your teeth, fill the bottom of the tray with a squirt of the whitening gel, apply the tray to your teeth, and leave it in for 20 minutes. Then, rinse your mouth and the tray with water, relax for ten minutes, and repeat it all three more times (totaling two hours.) All of a sudden, whoa: you have an extremely attractive smile without spending hundreds of dollars or weeks of your time.
