Essential Information Regarding Teeth Lightening Solutions

By Laila Markle


When exposed to certain foods, cigarette, tea or coffee, one's teeth will inevitably become discolored. This is particularly true if they are constantly exposed to these substances. When particles from the aforementioned sources become lodged in the surface enamel of the teeth, the pigments they contain eventually cause this discoloration. Certain formulas have been developed to remove stains of this type, and these are usually called teeth whitening products. However, this term covers a broad range of whitening methods.

Carbamide Peroxide is a solution that is found in many variations of teeth whiteners. It has been tested and proved effective and safe as a remedy for stained or discolored tooth enamel. In addition, it has a very stable shelf life. Its effectiveness is due to the way that it releases the peroxide, the latter of which breaks down into a form of free radical agents, which in turn, dissolves the substances responsible for causing the aforementioned stains.

Many whitening kits developed for use at home contain an ingredient called hydrogen peroxide. The primary difference between carbamide and hydrogen is how quickly they achieve the intended results. Bleaching agents such as carbamide peroxide do not typically work as fast as hydrogen peroxide products. This makes the latter ideal for quick treatments. Nevertheless, many experts state that peroxide containing carbamide is a wiser choice, particularly if one prefers overnight treatments.

Conflicting results have been found when the effectiveness of such products were studied. For instance, some studies have indicated that both kinds of peroxide achieve the same results. However, other clinical trials suggest that products containing carbamide offer a more desirable outcome.

Certain researchers think that this discrepancy depends on the concentration of each product: it is entirely possible that the effectiveness depends more on how potent the substance is, as opposed to the exact ingredients it contains. Additionally, the format in which they are manufactured may play a vital role in effectiveness of each product, such as gels versus pastes.

Formulas of this type can be acquired via the Internet or in traditional stores. It is also possible to obtain high potency whiteners. However, a person must first schedule a consultation with a cosmetic professional or dentist if such products are desired, as they are only available by prescription.

It is always wise to seek the advice of a dental professional prior to using any teeth whitening products. The reason for this is likely due to the fact that certain risks are associated with essentially all cosmetic products of this kind. Even though these are typically mild, it is still in one's best interest to talk to a professional prior to making a final choice concerning which formulas are most appropriate.
