Best Teeth Whitening Product Reviews

Overview: Tuesday, February 17, 2009

This site was established to rate, review, and compare the various "Teeth Whitening" products sold on the internet. I quote the word "Teeth Whitening" because not all of the products reviewed actually whiten your teeth! Yes, they are all marketed as teeth whiteners, but not all of them are, in fact many are just gimmicks that range in price any where from $10 to $1000! The fact is that some teeth whitening products do actually work!

The problems is cutting through the hype to find out which ones are real and work, which ones are real and kinda work, and which ones are just overpriced gimmicks!

That is exactly the purpose of this website, as I was in the same position you are in a year ago when I first heard about all the new teeth whitening methods in the fashion magazines and on TV. I wish there was a site like this a year ago, so I could have cut through the hype, and just purchased the one that actually delivers results.

All in all, I think it was worth it, as I now know first hand what WORKS and what DOESN'T, and if you're like me, you wouldn't mind trying a few different products to find that one product that can dramatically enhance your smile, confidence, and overall appearance.

I honestly never thought that increasing the brightness of my smile a few shades would make much of difference in my overall look, but now I can't imagine going a day without my favorite teeth whitening product. Ofcourse, I never had a terrible smile, just some very slight discoloration (probably caused by my little Starbuck's habit), but nothing major. I never received compliments about my "about average" smile, and if I ever did catch a compliment, it was usually the standard "beautiful eyes" line. But now after 4 months of using my favorite teeth whitener, I get 2-3 compliments a day about how "nice" my smile is from both men and women. I also seem to be getting kissed by my boyfriend a lot more often (always a good thing)...

Are There Dangers in Whitening Teeth?

Teeth whitening is $2 billion dollar a year industry in the United States. Dentists surveyed by the American Dental Association (ADA), report that teeth whitening is the most requested service among patients between the ages of 40 and 60. New and ever more elaborate over-the-counter teeth whitening products appear on the market each week and thousands of young adults convinced that there is no such thing as being too thin, too rich, or having teeth that are too white, clamor for each new teeth whitening innovation.

In general the ADA says that over-the-counter teeth whitening products are save for teeth and gums if two conditions are met. First, that the teeth and gums are healthy to begin with. And second, that the patient uses the product according to the instructions on the label.

If the teeth and gums are not healthy, applying teeth whitening substances to the teeth can cause intense pain in the teeth and painful irritation in the gums. To be completely safe, the ADA recommends that everyone see a dentist before beginning an at-home whitening regime.

By far the greatest danger from teeth whitening products occurs when patients do not use the products according to instructions. Some patients will used a number of different whitening products each day. Recent studies show that using an over-the-counter regime for a period of two weeks twice a year is absolutely safe. Problems begin when patients don't stop when they should.

Over-whitening teeth can do permanent damage. First the teeth can take on a milky blue tint that is irreversible. Second, if the chemical seep into a crack or small cavity in the tooth a root canal will likely be necessary.

Much like anorexia nervosa, obsessive teeth whitening, is now another form of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). When teeth whitening becomes so obsessive that it interrupts daily functioning, psychiatric treatment is necessary.

Teeth whitening can be save if reasonable expectations are maintained and the patient has the ability to exercise self-control.
