Cleanliness and sanitation are essential factors to lead a healthy life and to look presentable in any crowd. Yet it's a big turn off to meet some one with yellow or stained teeth.

And just like we take care of our general health, it is equally important that we take proper care of our teeth and have them whitened in order to save us from any embarrassment in public gatherings.

Thinking of ways to have those white teeth you've always dreamed of? Going to the dentist? Contrary to the common misconception that white teeth can only be achieved by going to the dentist, there are other options that provide equally good results, if not better. At present, there are so many products that the question is - which one to use?

First, achieving white teeth is not at all a lengthy process. You can have whiter teeth within a period of just two weeks. However, the speed of achieving the desired results varies from one individual to another and depends if a method chosen. You should stick to the particular do-it-yourself method you chosen for at least a month. If you don't see the desired results for the first few days, don't give up! If not today, tomorrow or two later you will see more positive results. You will never achieve what you want if you stop mid way through the process.

Second, if you only deep clean your teeth, you won't achieve whiter teeth. In order to have milky white teeth, you must bleach them. There are so many options available these days, from oral strips to dental whitening treatments, that will make the task of bleaching your teeth easier.

Third, the whitening toothpaste that are available in the market just help in removing stains. If you only use these toothpastes or something like Crest WhiteStrips, you will never be able to change the intrinsic color of your teeth and get the same results you would by bleaching your teeth.

The typical visit to a cosmetic dentist would involve the dentist creating a personal mouth mold that would require not less than ten days for it to be developed. After it is fitted to your teeth, it is filled with a 10% peroxide solution for about 2-3 hours for several sittings. You would need to visit the dentist about every 6 months for "touch-ups". While this may sound simple enough to you, the prices are hefty and it may take 6 months or more to pay the cosmetic dentistry procedure off.

Looking for an alternative? There are 3 more ways to get those white teeth, the do-it-yourself version of the expensive plastic molding via porcelain veneers, the brushing method and the whitening strips. The most common ingredient used is chemical peroxide, which achieves those perfect white teeth by letting oxygen gas pass into the enamel and bleaches them white. Tooth bleaching is a simple, yet very effective method. The next ingredient is alcohol; it helps the brushed material stay in place. Since your mouth is in nearly constant movement all day long (talking, eating, drinking), this material gets washed away and usually will leave you with bad breath.

It really does not matter which method you choose, whether it's a teeth whitening professional or a do-it-yourself method for getting white teeth, you just need to be sure that you avoid any ingredients that cause more harm than good to your teeth.
