We're bombarded today by images of famous people, whether celebrities or politicians, sporting a dazzling white smile. It's no surprise, then, that more and more people are spending money on tooth whitening products and procedures.

Teeth discoloration is a normal process, but it can be worse for some people, especially if things like coffee, alcohol and cigarettes contribute to their discoloration. There are three main processes of tooth whitening that one can employ today.
The first, and most expensive, is dentist-supervised tooth whitening. A controlled dilution of peroxide is placed on the teeth after a process of ensuring that the teeth and gums are dirt free and cavities filled. While expensive, this method is required as seldom as once a year, and you won't have to worry whether you're doing things correctly since a dentist is taking care of it for you.
inexpensive methods of tooth whitening are over the counter whitening products, or take-home whitening kits that a dentist might prescribe for you. comparable to an in-office procedure, you should visit the dentist to make sure that your teeth are clean, your gums healthy and any cavities filled prior to using such a product. 201
