You don't have to be a movie star to have access to systems, clinics or professional procedures that will actually whiten your teeth.
There are several good teeth whitening home remedies that can be just as effective as the fancy, (and very expensive), professional procedures.
You just have to know what to look for when deciding on a product to use.
There will one of two main active ingredients in a do it yourself tooth whitener.
Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide.
Make sure that you find a product that contains Carbamide Peroxide.
Both will be effective in cleaning your teeth but the latter will have a little more success, and quicker.
It allows oxygen to penetrate the enamel of your teeth, removing stains and giving them that brighter, shinier look.
The product you choose should contain it in the amount of between fifteen and twenty percent.
That's a perfect amount to ensure good results but not be too concentrated where side effects could occur.
You should pay attention to the testimonials of current and previous customers of a certain product as well.
Read carefully.
Were their expectations met? How long did it take to work and how long has it been working? Also, it's a good idea to see how many outside media reports were done on it.
Last, make sure that in addition to removing the stains and cleaning the enamel, your teeth whitening product also provides a procedure to protect the teeth from future stains.
Good teeth whitening home remedies should begin working within a matter of hours, but don't expect perfection for a matter of weeks to months.
Patience is required when doing it yourself.
