Teeth Whitening Home Kits

People often use teeth whitening home kits to remove stains from their teeth. Here’s all you need to know about them.

Who can avoid eating curry, and sweets or drinking red wine, and coffee? They may be delicious, but they can stain your teeth and cause discoloration. Some people’s teeth are more prone to discoloration than others, but your diet also plays a huge role in just how white and shiny your smile is.

When suffering from teeth discoloration, people often buy teeth whitening home kits to clean their teeth. Over the years, different teeth whitening products are introduced in the market.

Where can I find Teeth Whitening Home Kits?

These kits are easily available in stores and online. They aren’t expensive either and are known as over-the-counter whitening kits.

What’s Inside a Teeth Whitening Home Kit?

Generally, teeth whitening home kits contain the following:

  • A teeth color chart so that you can mark the before and after shades of your teeth and be able to tell the difference.
  • Whitening strips. These strips contain carbamide or hydrogen peroxide, in a concentrated amount of 5 to 15%. You can wear these strips on your teeth for the recommended time, which is usually between 5 to 10 minutes. The purpose is to bleach your teeth and take off the stains. These strips can be in the form of teeth guards as well.
  • Gel syringes are given by new and advanced teeth whitening home kits. They contain almost 3ml non-peroxide gel to clean your teeth stains.
  • Mouth trays with LED light. Some new teeth whitening home kits have mouth trays with LED lights that you should wear on your teeth. And then, activate the whitening particles and minerals inside the mouth tray by exposing it to the light. This results in brighter teeth.
  • Whitening mouthwash is also present inside the teeth whitening home kit. It gives teeth a fresher smell and a brighter smile.

Not all kits will contain all of the above-mentioned elements. Some may consist of something additional and unique. However, in general, these are more or less the common ingredients found in teeth whitening home kits.

Results of Teeth Whitening Home Kits

These kits are effective if you want to quickly remove any recent or particularly visible stains. However, expert Costa Rica dentists do not recommend its continuous use as it can weaken the tooth’s enamel. Users have also noticed that continued use of these kits make your teeth brighter instead of whiter.
