How to choose a teeth whitening gel

Nowadays, teeth whitening gels can be bought even in the supermarket. Almost all manufacturers promise fast lightening without harm to the enamel. Such a marketing ploy can only lead to excellent demand, but not to excellent quality of teeth after using such products.

Teeth whitening gels can be used in different ways:

1. Along with toothpaste during daily brushing.
2. With the use of special mouthguards (they are rarely sold as a set, so you need to buy additionally).
3. With the use of mouth guards and LED-lamps (also not sold as a set, but can be taken from any other manufacturers).
4. Application to the teeth with a special brush (does not require rinsing).

Depending on the preferred method of use, a person can independently choose a whitening gel.

Also, gels can have a short whitening course (7-10 days) and a longer, gentle, but no less effective (2-3 weeks).

Important! Do not use teeth whitening products without first consulting a dentist. All gels contain an active substance (hydrogen peroxide and its derivatives), which adversely affects the enamel. Therefore, in order not to harm yourself, you should just visit a dentist.
