Finding the Best Dental Whitening Kits for Your Teeth

Everyone's smile is a bit different—that's why there are so many dental whitening kits available. You can choose from a wide variety of different dental whitening kits depending on the current condition of your teeth, your oral health history, and your teeth-whitening priorities.

Which Dental Whitening Kits Best Meet My Dental Needs?

Review the following teeth condition descriptions to help you select the best dental whitening kit for you.

• Heavily Stained:

If your teeth are heavily stained from tobacco, coffee, tea, soda, or other foods and beverages, your best bet is to search for dental whitening kits that offer the greatest results. The most advanced dental whitening kits offer professional level whitening at home—and provide a whiter, brighter smile for up to 12 months.

• Sensitive Teeth:

If your teeth are sensitive are whitening, you may want to look for mild dental whitening kits that offer a more gradual whitening effect. These products, such as Crest 3D White Gentle Routine, are typically used for five minutes a day on a regular basis and are less painful for teeth sensitive to whitening.

Relatively White, but Need Maintenance:

If your teeth are either relatively white or mildly stained, you can easily go with a basic whitening strip regimen. These dental whitening kits typically require two thirty-minute applications per day and offer full results in just weeks.

• Tartar Build-up and Mild Stains:

If your dentist says you have tartar build-up that you want to reduce while also whitening your smile, there are dental whitening kits such as Crest 3D White Whitestrips Stain Shield that not only protect your teeth against tartar build-up, but also provide gentle whitening to brighten your smile.
