Is a Home Whitening Kit Right for You?

Many people, driven by TV commercials and online video ads,
buy kits specially designed for teeth whitening at home, without knowing too many
details about the method itself. Can these kits be used by everyone? Are there
any risks? Although home whitening kits are cheaper than professional teeth
whitening services performed by the dentists, the results are not always the
ones you expect and, in addition, there may be some disadvantages. It's best to check with dental offices such as Clarkson Dental of Denverto see what the best option is for you.
A home teeth whitening kit consists of a gel and trays that you fill with gel and push up onto your teeth. You must wear them like this for a certain period of time (typically during the night), depending on the manufacturer`s indications.
You should not use such a kit for more than two weeks, because the whitening gel can cause discomfort. The disadvantages of such a method include gum pain or even toothache, because the gel sensitizes the teeth. You should also be aware that dental fillings or crowns will not turn white with the other teeth, but will keep their original color, so expectations, if high, can be easily misled, in such cases.
You should not decide on your own if a home whitening kit is right for you. Talk with your dentist and you will get the best advice.
