When\nit\u2019s done safely, you really can\u2019t go wrong. Just some of the benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Making your smile look younger<\/li><li>Improving your social life<\/li><li>Creating a good first impression<\/li><li>Helping you feel more confident<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cheap Paths to a Brighter Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/teeth-whitening-plano.html\">get your teeth\nwhitened by your dentist<\/a>, but are there less expensive ways that work?\nLet&#8217;s review five common ways people brighten their smile, and what you can\nexpect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Whitening toothpaste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many brands of whitening toothpaste. Some of them\nremove surface stains on your teeth. Many of them are abrasive and can scratch\nyour tooth enamel. You\u2019ll receive minimal results\u2014if any\u2014and if stains are\ntrapped deep in your teeth, you probably won\u2019t notice a difference with\nwhitening toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Whitening strips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some strips will provide decent results depending on the\nstrength of the peroxide in them. The higher the percentage of peroxide, the\nwhiter your teeth will get. Remember not to overdo it. And keep the bleaching\ngel away from your gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Over-the-counter bleaching kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The success of over-the-counter kits depends on the contents\nof the bleaching gel. Carbamide peroxide is the most effective bleaching agent.\nBleaching trays need to fit well to keep the gel in contact with your teeth so\nit can penetrate them and break down stains. The gel in most kits is less than\nhalf the strength of what dentists offer, so it will take more whitening\nsessions to brighten your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Baking soda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baking soda can help with minor stains, but it is also\nabrasive to your tooth enamel. You shouldn&#8217;t use it for an extended period. And\nif you have composite bonding on your teeth or other types of dental\nrestorations, you shouldn&#8217;t use it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
