Paint On Teeth Whitening Effectiveness

Paint-On Whiteners can be purchased over-the-counter, and are generally less expensive and less effective than whitening strips.[1] [2]

There are many cases where each tooth has a variation of discoloration. In these instances, each tooth can be treated based on its individual need. There are also instances where only one or two teeth need to be treated. One example could be the darkening that can happen to a tooth after a root canal procedure. In scenarios like this, paint-on teeth whiteners could be the least expensive teeth whitening method for obtaining desired results. Although, paint-on whiteners are not always the most effective technique, sometimes it is a suitable technique.
