Teeth Whitening Gel

5 Facts About Teeth Whitening Gel

Teeth whitening gel is an effective teeth whitening agent that helps to whiten teeth easily and with minimal expense. There are many different types of teeth whitening gels available on the market – and each type of gel may produce slightly different results based on how it is used and for how long. Here are 5 facts about teeth whitening gel that you are likely to find useful:

Various application methods

When it comes to teeth whitening gel, there are several different application methods that you can choose from. In most cases, when people think of teeth whitening gel, they think of the type of teeth whitening gel that is applied to a tray and worn overnight. However, teeth whitening gel may also refer to daytime-use methods, such as Crest Whitestrips. For the purpose of this explanation of application methods, I’ll discuss the different tray methods.

First, it’s important to be aware that teeth whitening gel is effective for up to 4 hours. After 4 hours, the active ingredient stops being effective. For this reason, many people will wear a teeth whitening gel tray overnight so that they can conveniently whiten their teeth for 4 hours at a time without noticing that the tray is in place.

However, it’s entirely possible to use a teeth whitening gel tray during the day as well, depending on your other activities. The teeth whitening gel trays should fit snuggly against your teeth, providing a barrier between your teeth and other parts of your mouth. It’s best if you can wear the gel for at least 15 minutes to 1 hour a day.

4 strength level

Of the teeth whitening gel products that we supply, there are 4 levels of strength: 35%, 22%, 16%, and 10%. Each of these levels of strength is equally as effective when used correctly. You might select the lower level of strength if you have sensitive gums. The higher level of strength provides fast results in a shorter amount of time, but may be too sensitive for some users. However, the lower level of strength produces comparable results when used over a longer period of time. Deciding on the strength that’s right for you depends on your sensitivity level and deadline for having whiter teeth.

Active ingredients are effective

The teeth whitening gels that we provide use carbamide peroxide as the active ingredient. This active ingredient bleaches teeth, which means that it changes the actual tooth color. The peroxide whitens not only the surface of teeth, but also deep within the pores. As a result, teeth are whiter for longer periods of time. On the contrary, many other tooth whitening products only whiten the surface of teeth and, therefore, do not provide the same long-lasting results as teeth whitening gel.

Use only once a year

Unlike some teeth whitening products that you use daily (toothpastes), teeth whitening gels can be used once or twice a year to maintain a healthy white smile. The long-lasting results also help to increase the affordability of these products, when compared to some other tooth whitening products. Of course, the frequency by which you need to whiten your teeth will depend on how often you consume products that stain your teeth, such as tobacco products, coffee, tea, soda, or red wine.

Affordable

Our teeth whitening gels are some of our most cost-effective tooth whitening products. Not only are they used only once or twice a year, but they are inexpensive to purchase. As a result of the affordability, anyone can include teeth whitening gel kits into their personal hygiene budgets to help them get brighter, whiter smiles that will last.
