Choosing teeth whitening products from the different teeth whitening products available on the market today can be very confusing. However, some of these teeth whitening products do not give the desired results.
If you were to ask the experts, they would tell you that the best method of teeth whitening is still obtainable via your dentist. Not only is it the best, but it is also the most effective and the quickest way to have whiter teeth.
But then, not everyone can afford the costs that come with each treatment. Another thing that hinders them from going to dentists is fear. It seems that in early childhood, dentists are one of the most feared professions and that children just do not want to have to go to them. This fear goes on into adult life.
Although dentists do not advise people to choose teeth whitening products, they all agree that some of these products are effective in a degree. According to studies, most teeth whitening products, if used regularly and consistently, can result in whiter teeth that can out perform any dentist-assisted procedure.

An additional plus point that teeth whitening products have, is that they contain the same ingredients that are employed in professional whitening. Two of the active ingredients used in whitening teeth are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide. These two chemicals are also the ingredients present in some of the products that are on sale in everyday grocery shops and drug stores.
The only advantage that teeth whitening products have over professional whitening is that they are very cheap. Everyone who finds out about them can afford to add them to their list of basic shopping things.
Many of these products can be bought for $30 or less. Compare this with the $100 or more that you need to pay at the dentists. It will not surprise you that people prefer them over the high fees. Still, teeth whitening products are found to have some disadvantages. Some of which are:
1. Suitability. Teeth whitening products cater for all types of teeth, it is true, but then different people have different needs. What some people find to be effective may not work for others. This is one of the problems that people will come across with these 'home' products.
Some people have sensitive teeth and gums and their reaction to these products will depend upon the suitability of the products to the people using them. Another option would be to try out different products until you find the one that is suitable to you.
2. Strong Chemicals Used. You will not know what your reaction to a product will be until you have tried it out. Since you do not know how sensitive your teeth are, you will also not know what might happen when you start using the product. It is wiser to consult with your dentist first before choosing any product at all.
3. Tray may not fit. The tray put in your mouth does not exactly fit you, so there is a tendency that it may be either be too large or too small.
If it is too large, the preparation may not work very well. On the other hand, if it is too small, it could cause gum bleeding and other side effects that could cause b

Be sure that the teeth whitening precuts you choose are suitable for you. If none of them works, then maybe professional teeth whitening would be better for you.
