| Either
of these procedures are one offs and long term. The
only problem is that they can be on the expensive side.
Considerably less expensive but much longer term is
through brushing your teeth every day with whitening
toothpaste or by using a mouthpiece tray which applies
bleach in small doses.
If you want to take a middle line, then the best
option for you may be that of teeth whitening strips and
gels that attack the plaque that have formed on the
teeth over a long period of time. Generally small
and flexible, these teeth whitening strips are coated
on one side with whitening bleach. By applying the
strips to the upper and lower teeth, for around half
an hour at a time twice a day, the bleach will gradually
burn off the plaque and the long term discoloration
and return the original white color to your teeth.
Whilst it is extremely tempting to become carried
away by the early results of teeth whitening strips and want
to take some short cuts, its is highly important not
to wear these strips in your teeth for any more that
30 minutes at a time. If you do so, you run the risk
of doing permanent damage to your teeth, through burning
off the enamel.
