Using a whitening toothpaste to brush your teeth is a popular method to brighten tooth enamel at home. Keep in mind, though, that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in store-bought whitening toothpaste is only effective against minor staining.
Whitening strips are another popular option, especially for patients who are wanting to achieve a whiter smile while they are out and about because they can apply the discreet strips to their teeth and lighten mild stains.
Dental whitening gels offer the strongest concentrations of whitening agents and are much more effective and faster than whitening toothpaste or strips.
