Understanding The 2 Types Of Teeth Whitening
The oral care product section in local drug stores has become so crowded
with so many teeth whitening products, it’s hard for the average
consumer to know what the different products do in relation to one another.

To clear the confusion, it’s important to understand the 2 types of teeth
whitening and the relevant products.

Bleaching is one way of whitening your teeth and as its name suggests
involves changing the color of your tooth (more specifically your tooth
enamel).
http://www.DrMohanty.com
Bleaching is a more intense form of teeth whitening because it deals with both the outer stains on the surface of your teeth and also the deeper stains
below the surface.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
With bleaching, you can whiten your teeth by several shades of white
depending on the type of product.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
The main bleaching ingredient in products is known as carbamide
peroxide and various products have different concentrations of it.

There are 2 ways to go about bleaching your teeth:
http://www.DrMohanty.com
1. Visiting your dentist for a professional in-office bleaching
treatment.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
Dentists use stronger bleach, are able to shield your gums and oral cavity for protection and use laser and light to
help speed things along.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
Your teeth can be whitened by a dentist in as little as 30 minutes to 1
hour and get your teeth whiter by 7-12 shades.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
If you still want to bleach your teeth at home, your dentist can prepare a
home kit for you that contains your custom tooth mold and less- potent
peroxide bleach and also instruct you on how to apply the treatment.

2. You can also bleach using over-the-counter home treatment kits that are
readily available in your local drug store.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
They are usually less potent, require use over several weeks before you see any results, and lighten your teeth by
1-2 shades.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
These products include teeth whitening strips and dental whitening
trays.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
The second way to whiten your teeth apart from bleaching is to use the
abrasive treatment technique.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
This involves the use of abrasive products to remove the stains on the
surface of the teeth by scrubbing them off.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
This method works best if you have slightly yellow teeth, but if you have
dark brown or grey teeth then bleaching is a better option.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
Abrasive treatment products include electric toothbrushes and teeth
whitening toothpastes.
