By: Ishtar Ragwhite

Weather going out for a night out on the town, first date or school presentation having a nice teeth that are as white as snow make the perfect impression. Having nice white teeth tells a lot about how you care for your mouth. It's amazing what a bright white smile does in term of attention which is why many are looking into it.

There are many important factors when maintaining that bright smile. First and foremost is brushing your teeth on a regular basis. Not only brushing but brushing correctly.

Brushing too hard or too long can do damage your teeth. Also not brushing enough or not seeing your dentist at least every six months will cause your teeth to deteriorate. Make sure at the very least you see the dentist every six months.

When looking at getting whiter teeth there are many forms you can start with. First, which is widely available now is the whitening toothpastes. The main whitening ingredient in Tooth Whitening toothpastes is Sodium carbonate peroxide which acts as the whitener.

For those that don't care to spend the money on whitening toothpastes there are alternatives. You'll notice with some toothpastes they use baking soda which is pretty cheap in the store. By mixing small amounts of baking soda, glycerin, peppermint extract for taste and glycerin you can have your own homemade whitening toothpaste.

For something a little more robust you can turn to tooth whitening gels. For use of the whitening gels you'll need a mouth tray from your dental hygienist. With dental mouth tray in hand you'll need to apply the gel into the tray and place into your mouth to set for 30 minutes, you need to do that for about at least 10 days but you should start seeing results about 3-4 days.

One of the most widely seen today is the OTC tooth whitening product white strips. When using the strips you'll place one strip on top and on the bottom of your teeth. The side that's in contact with your teeth contains the whitening ingredient that will whiten teeth after use two times per day for about thirty minutes.

Don't get too overloaded with all the products out on the market. Just do some research to start so you know what you're talking about and what questions to ask. Seeing your dentist is key to keeping that smile bright and your mouth healthy.
