Having whiter teeth is something that a lot of us dream about which is why there is such a huge industry in doing just that.
There are plenty of different options for you if you would like to get whiter teeth, but the reality is that while they all claim to give you whiter teeth only some of them are effective.
 Tooth whitening gel is a popular choice but on its own it might not be so good.
Tooth whitening gel is usually a cheap option when it comes to getting whiter teeth which is why it's so popular, but its effectiveness is not that great compared to other methods.
If you can get some professional gel from your dentist then it is likely to be much stronger and hence more effective.
Most of the teeth whitening products available will make a small difference in some cases, but to get real whitening you have to go to a dentist.
He or she will be much more effective at whitening your teeth and although it will cost a lot more it will also be a lot quicker to do.
Professional teeth whitening will take a few different treatments, while at home teeth whitening can take a much longer period of time.
If you can't afford to get professional teeth whitening then the next best option is probably to use a teeth whitening tray.
These fit onto your teeth like mouth guards so that the whitening agent stays on the surface of the tooth for a long period of time.
