Whitening strips are a popular way to brighten your smile. The strips contain a small amount of peroxide that is applied to the teeth. The peroxide reacts with the minerals in the teeth to produce hydrogen peroxide. This is the active ingredient in the strip. The strips are used for a few minutes at a time. After the strips are removed, the teeth are brushed and flossed. Whitening strips can be purchased online or at a local drug store.

Root canals are not meant to last forever. They are a temporary fix for a problem that will eventually have to be fixed with a permanent root canal. Root canals are meant to be a short-term solution to a tooth problem. However, they do have a number of benefits. They can be done in one visit, instead of multiple visits. They are less expensive than having the tooth fixed. And they can be done by an experienced dentist.
