We all hope to get rid of yellow teeth or stains, ie we all want a brighter, whiter smile, a lot of people are moving to DIY teeth whitening cleans to whitening yellow teeth or remove stains instead of going to the dentist for costly teeth whitening treatment costing 1000's of pound or dollar.
There are lots to choose from, with supermarket shelves literally groaning with 'whitening' products and toothpastes.
However, the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) has issued a warning claiming that many DIY whiteners fail to give a good result or can even cause permanent damage to teeth.
Here are some consideration and things to examine before choosing a whitener to get rid of yellow teeth and/or stains:
1. Whitener use hydrogen peroxide, which is a bleaching agent, if it in gel form and not administered using a close-fitting custom made tray. This will whitening yellow teeth and/or clear stains but the bleaching agent could spill out into the gum and mouth leading to bleeding and inflamation
2. It contains Pumice stone, this is extremely hard, dentist tend to use it only occasionally, e.g. to roughen the surface tooth enamel to get a filling to stick. This will remove stains but may not necessarily whitening yellow teeth. Used at all times it could potentially cause considerable damage to enamel or cause gums to recede, above all if used 4 to 5 times a year as some products recommend
3. It contains baking soda, will not definitely whitening yellow teeth, it will remove stains but it will not bleach yellow teeth to make it white. Baking soda is safe agent found is tooth paste
4. It contains carbamide peroxide in the gel, this will whiten yellow teeth, used with a custom made closing fitting tray
5. The approach is said to use an oxidation process, this usually contains acidic products, e.g. citric acid which can damage your enamel and/or gum, if custom made tray or ill fitter tray is used. This will whitening your teeth and clean stains but as mentioned above may cause damage to enamel and/or gum
6. Electric tooth brush which combines sound vibration and wide-sweeping brushing motion, dual brushing speed and two brush head sizes for dealing with different areas of the mouth, this patented cleaning action is clinically proven to significantly reduce coffee, tobacco and tea stains. It will also ameliorate gum health and cleanse plaque than manual brushing but it will not whitening your teeth, but will improve dental hygiene and effect can be seen within 28 days. But to re-iterate this will not whitening yellow teeth
