How do teeth whitening kits work

Teeth whitening kits contain chemicals that seep into the stains and remove them without causing any damage to

your dental structure.



The most common chemicals in these kits are usually a form of peroxide-

either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.



Most manufacturers have an array of whitening products with various

concentrations of these peroxides.



Gentle action whitening kits have less peroxide (about 3-5%) and take longer

to work than the professional or advanced strength kits (5% plus)



Teeth whitening kits are either:



* Bleaching kits such as whitening strips and whitening trays or



* Abrasive kits such as whitening toothpastes and electric toothbrushes.



Bleaching kits can handle stains both on a surface level and those within the

deeper layers of the tooth, while abrasive kits are effective only for

surface stains.



Where to buy teeth whitening kits



Teeth whitening kits can be purchased over-the-counter in your local grocery

store, a drug store or online.



When it comes to the cost of home teeth whitening kits, prices range from $10-20 for whitening tooth pastes and

bleaching kits to $35-50 for teeth whitening strips.



Simple peroxide-based mouthwashes can be purchased for about $10 for a

32 fluid ounce bottle.



How to store your teeth whitening kit at home



For a whitening product to be truly effective it is important to store it

properly at home.



Home whitening kits should be stored in a cool area of your house at room

temperature.



Avoid placing your kit in an area of the house where it’s very hot or in direct

sunlight.



Suitable storage areas include your bedroom closet or a bathroom or

kitchen cabinet.



You should definitely never store your whitening kit in the freezer.



Most whitening kits have just enough product substance for a single course of treatment and so you should use

the whole kit.



However if you only use part of the kit, toothpaste or mouthwash, it’s best to

discard it after about 6 months and buy a new product if you want to start

whitening your teeth again.
