Pilar T.<\/p>\n<p>Pilar \u2013 Although two-minute tooth brushing is a way to ensure your teeth are clean and that debris\u00a0is removed from them, it won\u2019t necessarily make your teeth whiter. If you\u2019re using peroxide-based toothpaste, you may eventually see the results, but they will be minimal.<br \/>\nWhitening your teeth and breaking down the stains below the surface is successful with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/teeth-whitening\/\">carbamide peroxide bleaching gel<\/a>. Professional-strength gel comes from a dentist, along with bleaching trays to keep the gel in contact with your teeth. It&#8217;s the prolonged contact on your teeth helps\u00a0the gel break down stains in them.<\/p>\n<p>Some people have tried self-whitening only to find that the bleaching gel wasn\u2019t strong enough, or in some cases, that it made stains more noticeable. That\u2019s where a dentist helps\u2014anticipating the results you will get and recommending the correct treatment based on the type of stains in your teeth<\/p>\n<p>We encourage you to continue to thoroughly brush your teeth, but if you really want them whiter, consider getting them professionally whitened. Ask your dentist how whitening your teeth can be made affordable for you.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/Cosmetic-dentist\/\">Lowell cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Michael Szarek.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve followed the 2 minute tooth brushing guideline for about 3 to 4 months but my teeth aren\u2019t noticeable whiter.
