Teeth whitening strips are among the many whitening products available in the market. These strips are applied to the teeth for the recommended time and peeled off. They are primarily used to remove tea and coffee stains, dental plaque and whiten pigment teeth. After using the teeth whitening strips, teeth turn whiter and shinier as the strips remove tooth dirt. Thus, the strips aid in enhancing oral hygiene and reduce oral diseases.

Whitening strips contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as a coating. When the strips are applied on the teeth, the bleaching ingredient comes into contact with the teeth and removes the stains. American Dental Association (ADA) has put a cap on the levels of the peroxide or bleach that can be used in the teeth whitening strips. Excessive levels of these chemicals are harmful to the teeth as they could wear out the enamel from the teeth and make the teeth sensitive.

Most of the whitening strips are safe to use. When you shop for these strips, take care to run through the composition. The market is flooded with different brands of whitening strips. You can find whitening strips containing chlorine dioxide. This bleaching agent is used as a disinfectant in the swimming pools. Chlorine dioxide could erode the enamel of the teeth beyond repair. Hence, it is very important to choose whitening strips carefully. If your teeth are sensitive, buy your whitening strips with the recommendation of the dentist.

Other teeth whitening products in the market are whitening gels, whitening pens, etc. Dentists recommend whitening strips over other products as the result is better from strips. However, strips may be difficult to use when compared to other whitening products as strips will have to be applied to the teeth and kept on for some time. You should take care to avoid the gums while applying the strips.
