Have you noticed some discoloration on your teeth that you want to treat?
You may be tempted to turn to whitening toothpaste.
Many brands claim that their toothpaste products will gradually lighten your teeth over time with minimal risk of sensitivity.
Certainat-home treatmentsmay also worsen stains depending on their origins.
However, the cost of professional whitening is often prohibitive.
In contrast, DIY systems typically contain 3 to 20% peroxide.
A higher concentration in gel form allows dentists to complete the teeth whitening process more quickly.
However, no dentist can guarantee that you will not experience tooth and gum sensitivity after treatment.
Plus, the cost of professional whitening is daunting, as it ranges between $150 to $600.
