Question:
Do the over the counter teeth whitening products work? How well do they
compare to what a dentist can do?
Answer:
the over the counter whiteners do poorly when compared to that
purchased from you dentist. Dentamat's Rembhrant would probably help in
conjunction with a professional at home bleaching kit. One danger that
people do not realize is that you can get them TOO white and this prevents
the dentist from getting a good match is restorative work has to be done
after bleaching. For this reason you need to be under the care of a dentist
while bleaching your teeth.
For the first time I disagree with Joel. My patients' experience
with over the counter bleaching products has been universally bad. We have
excellent results with the Nite White system. Take a look at their web
site http://www.discusdental.com They list dentists who use their
products; you might be able to find one in your area.
I better weigh in on this again. I admit that my first may have been
too hasty. I don't really enough "clinical" experience with the
do-it-yourself" whitening patients.
