Teeth Whitening: Everyone Wants a Bright Smile
Most Consumers Have Tried Teeth Bleaching
When we asked how many people have tried teeth whitening, just over half of respondents said they have. Whitening toothpaste was the most popular choice for teeth bleaching, but whitening strips were a close second.
Consumers also report having tried non-prescription teeth whiteners from the grocery store or pharmacy. Only 14% said they have gone to a cosmetic dentist for in-office professional bleaching or take-home whitening kits.
Opinions on the best teeth whiteners were across the board. "Professional teeth whitening is best," declared one respondent, while another complained, "Professional whitening at the dentist's office was a total flop!"
Sensitive teeth can also be a problem when it comes to tooth whitening. "I had some sensitivity during some of the whitening treatments," said one person. Warned another, "If it is done wrong, you can have problems with teeth being sensitive, swelling of the lips, and mouth blisters."
"I want someone to invent a whitening agent for crowns," declared one woman. "Many of us baby-boomers need this product!" (Unfortunately for her, the fact remains that dental crowns and bridges cannot be bleached in the same way that teeth are.)

So why hasn’t anyone invented a whitening for crowns? They would make a fortune.
