At my last dental appointment, I got a coupon for $10 off a sonic toothbrush. I\u2019m thinking about trying it as an alternative to the $300 that it would cost to get my teeth whitened by my dentist. I know that the toothbrush isn\u2019t cheap either but I might save $150 or so because I\u2019m hoping that with time the toothbrush will get my teeth whiter. Will it help? \u2013 Rinaldo P. from New Orleans<\/p>\n

Rinaldo,<\/p>\n

The toothbrush will get your teeth cleaner, but if you want to whiten them, the best way to do so is with teeth whitening from your dentist.<\/p>\n

Your dentist will be able to offer you in-office teeth whitening<\/a>, or a take-home kit. In office treatment is more expensive, but it also is a faster way to a brighter smile\u2014usually within an hour. You\u2019ll receive take-home treatment with customized trays for your teeth, along with bleaching gel for touch-ups to maintain your bright smile.<\/p>\n

Take-home teeth whitening is less expensive than the in-office treatment. You\u2019ll still received customized trays and bleaching gel. You\u2019ll put gel in the trays and wear them for a specified period every day, or overnight as your dentists directs. In two to three weeks, you\u2019ll have a dazzling smile.<\/p>\n

There are advantages of getting this treatment from your dentist. You\u2019ll receive customized trays that will help you avoid wasting the gel or irritating your gums. Depending on the cause of the stains on your teeth, the bleaching gel makes the stains on them more noticeable. Or, you might have had dental work in the past, with which the bleaching gel is not compatible. And there are some stains, such as tetracycline stains, that require K\u00f6R deep bleaching<\/a>, which you can only receive from your dentist.<\/p>\n

Your dentist will be able to tell you if teeth whitening is right for you, and which method and brand will work best.<\/p>\n
