Teeth Whitening
As with any product you use orally there are precautions to assure you obtain the desired result without harmful side affects. If you have dental conditions (open sores, gingivitis or other gum diseases) with your teeth or gums you should consult your dentist prior to using teeth whitening products.
The critical factor in making this decision is doing your homework as there are quite a lot of products on the market that don't work and are scams. You will also find quite a few other products that are difficult to use, cause pain and discomfort, and ultimately don't live up to the claim of truly improving the color of your teeth.
You will find a number of responsible brands that encourage feedback and usually request it in the following areas, Affordability, Effectiveness and Agreeability.
Affordability tends to be driven by the the reason you are getting your teeth whitened as well as the degree of whitening you want to achieve in a given time frame. Durability and timing may also play a part in determining how much you are willing to spend to restore your pearly whites. If timing is not an issue, you may opt to purchase a less expensive product that you use repeatedly until you achieve your desired result and which will still be less expensive than the in office procedure. However, if time is of the essence or if your goal is relationship or work related, you may consider the in-house procedure which while more costly can achieve more immediate results. Of course the amount of funds available to you overrides all these considerations. Do take into consideration that you may need more than one treatment regardless of what option you select depending on the condition of your teeath. The quality, durability, timing and effectiveness of the whitening can be achieved with a number of alternatives on the market so it may come down to trial and error but do your research and you will find there is a great deal of reliable data on the subject to assure your chances of achieving your goal of a brighter smile.
Effectiveness is a visual gauge on how much whiter your teeth actually got. Do bear in mind that while the results of the in-office alternative appear to be immediate and dramatic, it is advisable to wait 2 - 3 days after the treatment to truly determine if the final results meet your expectations. Be prepared that it may take 2-6 treatments to achieve those results of maximum brightness if that is your goal. Make sure to correctly note where you started so you can have a good comparison.
Agreeability typically relates to the the ease of use, absence of dis-comfort and ultimately meeting the claims the product/company made with respect to value, effectiveness, duration, number of treatments required and degree of brightness achieved.
Your dentist should be a resource in helping you reach your desired goal. They are certainly an alternative for you to consider but maybe too costly when you consider affordability for your particular situation (see our blog on alternative costs and other relevant data points).

Happy whitening!
In the majority of cases teeth whitening is achieved with a peroxide-based bleaching agent.
The big advantage of Professional in office whitening treatments is not so much the degree of lightening you might achieve as compared with other effective teeth whitening products but more the fact that is most cases you will see immediate and dramatic results.
Another consideration in teeth whitening is the condition of your teeth, is the dis-coloration extrinsic (surface of the teeth) caused by dark color drinks like coffee or tea, foods, gums, candies or tobacco and in some cases just routine wear and tear. With extrinsic dis-coloration improved results can be achieved in most cases in days or weeks depending on the type of treatment or product you decide to use. However, with intrinsic dis-coloration (formed on the interior of the teeth) usually resulting from tramu, aging, use of medications and mineral during teeth formation. Improved results intrinsic dis-coloration may be achieved but usually takes longer and may be measured in months or years.
