You’ve aspired to brighten your smile in the new year, but it can be difficult to know the most effective and efficient way to go about it. Many products promise to whiten your teeth, but which ones actually work? Here are the best ways to whiten your teeth with tested results and safety.

Whitening Toothpaste

Many drugstores carry toothpaste that is advertised to help whiten your teeth. Whitening toothpastes may use a mild abrasive agent, such as baking soda, to aid in brightening your teeth. They may also contain a chemical agent like hydrogen peroxide to help bleach stains on the surface of your teeth, although hydrogen peroxide can lead to increased dental sensitivity. Talk with your dentist about which ingredients to look for to help you achieve your desired results without negatively impacting your dental health and comfort.

Whitening Kits

Whitening kits are another popular and easy to find over-the-counter option. They may utilize whitening strips that adhere to your teeth temporarily to allow the active ingredients extra time to work to brighten your teeth or a whitening gel or mouthwash. The active ingredients can vary so it’s a good idea to check with your dentist before use to ensure that they are safe for your teeth.

Blue Light Technology

Blue light gadgets are newer to the at-home teeth whitening scene than other products, but it’s a technology dentists have been using for quite some time. Blue light technology is virtually mess-free, compared to products containing gels, pastes, or liquids, making it an increasingly popular choice for those who want an easy and hassle-free go-to whitening option.

Professional Whitening Treatment

When you’re searching for the best ways to whiten your teeth, you’ll find many options that seem to be either safe or effective, but few that provide the best of both worlds. When you want the best results that are safe, effective, and fast, a professional whitening treatment may be exactly what you’re looking for. Since professional whitening treatments are applied under the supervision of a dentist and use only products and tools that have proven safety and results, it’s no wonder why it’s the way that many patients achieve the highest level of satisfaction with whitening treatments.
