WHITENING TEETH GEL IS QUITE EFFECTIVE COMPARED TO TOOTHPASTES
One of the most effective whitening treatment is the bleaching teeth gel. Having good lucks is getting more and more important in today’s life and society. Many people have problems with stained and discolored teeth due to lifestyle habits, such as smoking, drinking coffee and soft drinks. Thus, they are starting to consider teeth whitening products to brighten up their smiles.
Most DIY teeth whitening products such as whitening pens, toothpastes etc can only whiten your teeth up to two shades, while whitening teeth gels can achieve uo to five shades. These teeth whitening gels are very affordable and there is no need to visit the dentist at all. You can apply the teeth gel at the convenience of your own schedule. There is no need to rush over to the dental clinic after work, nor queue up over the weekends with other dental patients.
A particular brand contains around 23% carbamide peroxide - the main active bleaching ingredient that introduces oxygen into your tooth dentin and removes external substances on your tooth that giving it the stained look. When you in the pharmacy to buy a teeth gel, look out for the content of carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. These two are the two popular active bleaching ingredients used in teeth bleaching gels. A higher concentration means it can whiten faster, but the risk of developing tooth sensitivity is increased also as the peroxide chemicals can be harsh to your teeth and gums. If you already have sensitive teeth, choose a mild gentle formula with around 10% hydrogen peroxide. It will be slower, but less painful. Use Sensodyne toothpastes for sensitive teeth as well whenever you are using whitening teeth gel.
