FDA guidelines state that the term\u00a0<a href=\"\/cosmetic-dentistry\/tooth-whitening\/\">teeth whitening<\/a>\u00a0can be generally applied to items that remove discoloration, while teeth bleaching products must contain a formulation of bleach.<\/p>\n<p>With this distinction in mind, there are multiple professional and over the counter methods for cleaning teeth to make them whiter. This could include brushing with toothpaste (not just varieties labeled \u201cwhitening\u201d) or a professional cleaning at your dentist&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<p>These options can make your smile brighter. But it&#8217;s not what most people would consider when they talk about \u201cteeth whitening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most of our patients who ask about teeth whitening are thinking about store-bought strips and gels or chairside bleaching systems that go beneath the tooth surface to break up persistent stains. These options commonly contain some formulation of peroxide (a natural bleaching compound), but with several important differences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Professional teeth whitening is stronger and usually leads to better results than over the counter varieties<\/li>\n<li>A dentist will protect your gums from potential irritation<\/li>\n<li>Results tend to last longer after sessions with a professional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some patients maintain a white smile with routine cleaning and biannual visits to the dentist.
