Teeth cold light whitening
Teeth whitening using cold light involves applying a whitening agent (generally a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide) to the surface of the teeth and using low-temperature cold light to perform oxidation-reduction reactions to remove deposited pigments.
Advantages: It can be completed in one session, and the effect is obvious.
Disadvantages: The price is high, and it is not a permanent effect; it needs to be done again after two or three years. After the treatment, there may be tooth sensitivity and allergic reactions, so it cannot be done frequently.
Ceramic whitening patch
To make porcelain veneers, a thin layer of the tooth surface needs to be ground off, and then a porcelain piece of 0.2 to 0.5 mm is bonded to the tooth surface with a special high-strength composite resin.
Advantages: It can be completed in one session, the effects are obvious, and it can last for up to ten years.
Disadvantages: the price is relatively expensive, and it may require grinding down tooth structure depending on the situation.
Home blue light whitening teeth
It is very simple to make a dental mould based on the shape of your teeth. Apply the whitening agent to the surface of your teeth each night, wear the mould for 20 minutes, then remove it. Use continuously for 7 days, suitable for teeth with light to moderate staining.
Advantages: cheaper than dental clinics, noticeable teeth whitening effects, and convenient and safe to use.
Disadvantages: It takes 7 days to start seeing results and requires regular use.
Whitening activated toner
Activated carbon is a type of porous carbon with many ultrafine pores on its surface, giving it a sponge-like adsorption capacity, which can be used to filter and eliminate stains on teeth and skin, as well as gases or toxins. Press the toothbrush onto the powder box and use the tooth-cleaning powder like ordinary toothpaste. There's no need to worry about accidentally swallowing activated carbon, as it can also be used for teeth whitening, underarm whitening, detoxifying beauty treatments, and facial cleansing.
Advantages: versatile, results are more significant than whitening toothpaste, and it has edible effects, making it convenient and safe to use.
Disadvantages: it can only wipe away the dirt on the surface of the teeth, and can restore the teeth to their original colour.
Teeth whitening home patch/whitening pen
The principle of using teeth whitening pens and teeth whitening strips is similar; both work by utilising hydrogen peroxide to oxidise and reduce the pigments on the teeth.
Advantages: easy to use, low cost.
Disadvantage: The ingredients may cause sensitivity irritation to the gums and teeth.
General whitening toothpaste in the market
Advantages: low cost, easy to purchase.
Disadvantages: Using physical methods to remove surface stains from teeth and wipe off dirt may not necessarily eliminate tea and coffee stains.
If there has been an accident or problem with your teeth, you should have a detailed examination by a dentist to avoid delaying treatment!
