This is something most people desire.
Unfortunately most of us don't have the whitest smile that we could. Years of drinking dark colored beverages such as coffee, tea, soda, and red wine, smoking, and aging take their toll on the color of tooth enamel. The great news is that today anybody at all can have a dazzling white smile.

There are several ways to whiten your teeth depending on the amount of money you want to spend, and your level of perseverance. You can make choice from tooth whitening gels and whitening toothpaste, bleaching strips, bleaching gel with a fitted mouth tray, or laser teeth whitening. teeth laser whitening is sometimes called in-office bleaching. Of all these different types of alternatives laser teeth whitening is the accelerated way to a white smile, it's also the most expensive.

Laser teeth whitening is considered the top of the line treatment. It takes about one hour. The dentist applies a bleach solvent containing hydrogen peroxide to the teeth. You will find that hydrogen peroxide is found in all teeth whitening products. The higher the amount of hydrogen peroxide the faster the tooth whitening will take place. Once the bleach is on the teeth the teeth are subjected to a light source, usually a laser.
This laser activates the hydrogen peroxide. This application is left on your teeth for twenty minutes. This procedure is then repeated two more times before you are done.
Of course, the results you receive from any tooth whitening system will fade over time. Trying to avoid dark colored drinks and not smoking will help you enjoy the results longer. Smile and the whole world smiles with you.About the Author:
