Advantages Of Using A Home Teeth Whitening Kit

By Andrew E. Jacobsen

It is a common conception that having bright white gleaming teeth looks healthy and attractive. The business of selling home teeth whitening kits to the public is a multi-million dollar industry and many companies now offer their own range of products in regular stores.

The predominant and most popular types of whitening kits either come in a gel or a toothpaste form. The latter, the toothpaste style ranges are used just as a normal toothpaste would be.

Although they are the cheapest option available, they have not been found to be as effective as a proper teeth whitening kits but have shown that some work very well to remove stains and discoloration from teeth.

Whitening kits have become extremely popular in recent years and come available in many different forms and in widely ranging price brackets. They work by filling a rubber mould shaped like your upper and lower teeth, with a bleaching agent, usually in gel form. Some are designed to give results within an impressive thirty minutes but some can be left in overnight, but alas, will not feel very comfortable in your mouth for so long.

There have been a few known side effects for some people who have used teeth whitening kits too much. By submitting your teeth to such high levels of abrasive agents frequently, the natural color of the teeth may shine brighter, but the teeth enamel can become weaker and thus, more painful to cold and heat.

Home whitening kits are never as effective as a professional dental whitening procedures, namely because the home kits contain a lot less hydrogen peroxide in them. For better, longer lasting results it will always be safer to pay a little more and visit your dentist. - 29879
