Tooth whitener

Tooth whitener - whitening oral hygiene products. Product or system which is used for the tooth whitening.

A tooth whitener product can bleach the tooth, which means that it actually changes the natural tooth color. Bleaching products contain peroxide that help remove deep and surface stains. By contrast, non-bleaching whitening products contain agents that work by physical or chemical action to help remove surface stains only.

There can be two types of tooth whiteners:

Peroxide-containing whiteners or bleaching agents
Bleaching solutions contain peroxide, which actually bleaches the tooth enamel. These products typically rely on carbamide peroxide solutions as the bleaching agent. Carbamide peroxide comes in several different concentrations, ranging from 10% to 22%.
Peroxide-containing whiteners typically come in a gel and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for two weeks, and others are intended for overnight use for one to two weeks. If there obtain the bleaching solution from dentist, he can make a custom-fitted mouthguard for patient that will fit his teeth precisely.
Whitening toothpastes (dentifrices)
Whitening toothpastes help remove surface stain through the action of mild abrasives, as do all other toothpastes. Unlike bleaches, whitening toothpaste does not alter the intrinsic color of teeth.
