There are a lot of things you can do to look after
your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing can keep them healthy and allow you
to enjoy foods that need chewing as well as cold drinks and ice cream or hot
drinks. But while oral health is important sometimes you may need a bit more to
keep your teeth looking good. This is why you may want to consider Non peroxide
teeth whitening kits.
It is possible to go to a dentist and get professional
whitening. However this can be very expensive. Using home kits can be a lot
cheaper and allow you to make your teeth whiter at the fraction of the cost of
a professional service.
One thing to be aware of is the peroxide content of a
whitening kit. In the European Union the sale of home teeth whitening kits that
contain peroxide has been banned. Some problems have been known to occur such
as damage to the tooth enamel and dehydration of the teeth.
However it is important to remember that these effects
often happen when people do not correctly apply the active peroxide ingredient.
You should also check to see the level of concentration as between 6 to 20 per
cent is said to be best for whitening while minimising side effects such as
dehydration of teeth. There have been some cases where people have used
household bleach in the belief that this will whiten teeth. This will not
whiten your teeth and is very dangerous to your health!
Non peroxide teeth whitening kits use natural
alternative active ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate. These have the same
cleaning effect but without the same level of side effects as the peroxide
equivalent. While these products are safer to use at home you still need to
take care and look at all the instructions carefully in order to apply the
whitening gel properly.
Non peroxide kits are also better suited to people
with sensitive teeth. This is because peroxide has been known to increase
dental sensitivity. Therefore in this context non peroxide whitening is more
advisable. You can also decrease the risk of damaging the teeth and gums by
ensuring the kit contains a mouth guard that can be properly moulded around the
teeth, keeping the saliva away from the teeth and preventing the gel from
becoming diluted, thus getting the best possible whitening effect.
Another thing to look out for is kits with additional
instructional DVDs. These allow you to see how the mouth guard is applied and
the correct way to apply the gel. The gel needs to be spread thinly in order to
be effective. More gel will not give you whiter teeth!
In short if used properly Non peroxide teeth whitening
kits can improve the whiteness of your teeth. Look out for companies that offer
money back guarantees on the product as this is a sign that they are confident
in the level of service and quality that they offer.
