Bleaching is one way of whitening your teeth and as its name suggests
involves changing the color of your tooth (more specifically your tooth
enamel).

Bleaching is a more intense form of teeth whitening because it deals with both the outer stains on the surface of your teeth and also the deeper stains
below the surface.

With bleaching, you can whiten your teeth by several shades of white
depending on the type of product.

1. Visiting your dentist for a professional in-office bleaching
treatment.

Dentists use stronger bleach, are able to shield your gums and oral cavity for protection and use laser and light to
help speed things along.

Your teeth can be whitened by a dentist in as little as 30 minutes to 1
hour and get your teeth whiter by 7-12 shades.

If you still want to bleach your teeth at home, your dentist can prepare a
home kit for you that contains your custom tooth mold and less- potent
peroxide bleach and also instruct you on how to apply the treatment.

2. You can also bleach using over-the-counter home treatment kits that are
readily available in your local drug store.

They are usually less potent, require use over several weeks before you see any results, and lighten your teeth by
1-2 shades.

These products include teeth whitening strips and dental whitening
trays.

The second way to whiten your teeth apart from bleaching is to use the
abrasive treatment technique.

This involves the use of abrasive products to remove the stains on the
surface of the teeth by scrubbing them off.

This method works best if you have slightly yellow teeth, but if you have
dark brown or grey teeth then bleaching is a better option.
