For a Kiwi when it comes to teeth whitening, it will pop into your mind to go to a dentist, but do you know you can equally whiten your teeth at home by using at-home whitening products?
Teeth whitening at home is gaining popularity among younger populations, notably people under 35 years of age.
Teeth whitening at home is regarded as effective and able to whiten your teeth by up to 8 shades, and people who smoked or drank coffee or had alcohol stains on their teeth can benefit from teeth whitening at home, and they can see a noticeable difference in their smile by using it for at least 1 week, though it’s best to use it for 2 weeks.
The teeth whitening pen is designed so that you can apply it to your teeth, and depending on which brand you use, most at-home whitening, especially those with less than 10% hydrogen peroxide, is known to be safe. For example Mouth & Co. premium teeth whitening is only NZD 69 with 1 month whitening treatment included and it whitens your teeth in just 15 minutes a day and it includes a LED whitening boost.
Whitening your teeth at the dentist is a great choice as well because most dentists have the necessary knowledge and have equipment to apply a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide in a careful manner. Sometimes you might be tempted to try the new at-home whitening kit. While there are solid reasons for why you should try at-home whitening rather than going to the dentist,
Pro tip: cheaper and less sensitive than at the dentist.
We still recommend you try the dentist. yes, it will be more sensitive, but you only go to the dentist once or twice, and most sessions are only 30 minutes.
But if you want to save money and still get professional whitening results at home with less sensitivity, then you could try our new Mouth & Co. premium at home kit
Even dentists nowadays prescribe take-home whitening kits to supplement the dentist sessions.
Generally, 1-2 sessions, each 30 minutes, are enough to give you a brighter-looking smile. most users would feel sensitivity after a dentist whitening session; this is because dentists use up to 35% or more hydrogen peroxide. Don’t worry, ask your dentist he/she will tell you how to manage the sensitivity.
Pro tip: wait to drink cold or hot beverages within 1 hour after a dentist whitening
To conclude, having a white smile can significantly boost your confidence, and it is essential to take care of your teeth. Depending on your preferences and sensitivity levels, you may choose either professional whitening at a dentist or try at-home teeth whitening kit. just make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines of your at-home teeth whitening kit or your dentist’s instructions if you are receiving treatment in their office.
