I would love to have my teeth whitened by a dentist one day, but I have a little dental anxiety and haven't worked up the courage just yet. Until then, I have been trying different at-home products to see what works the best for me.

If you want to whiten on-the-go, a whitening pen can be used easily in your car. If you like to whiten at home, then strips or trays can likely get your teeth whiter than the pens. I created this blog to help spread the word that there are many types of products that can whiten your teeth, and many work well! You don't have to be embarrassed by your stained smile!

Cosmetic dentistry is the best way to give you the type of teeth that you desire.
