However, some simply use hydrogen peroxide as an active ingredient. Both are considered safe for humans and are known to be effective at whitening teeth. Teeth-whitening pens usually have small brushes at the tip, similar to many lip glosses and under-eye concealers you'll see on the market. Unlike whitening trays and strips, this allows you to "paint" the gel formula directly onto your teeth in an even coat. When browsing teeth-whitening pens, check how many uses each tube offers. While they're all roughly the same size, some pens come with a bit more gel than others.
Additionally, some contain higher concentrations of the active ingredient, so you don't need to use as much. Keep this in mind to get the most bang for your buck. Bleaching your teeth with an at-home treatment, like a whitening pen, is generally safe. As mentioned above, most options on the market contain either carbamide peroxide a combination of urea and hydrogen peroxide or just hydrogen peroxide. Depending on the concentration, these active ingredients might cause some sensitivity, but they're generally considered safe for teeth whitening.
Whitening pens use carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide the same active ingredients found in whitening strips to bleach the teeth. This is why dental whitening trays, strips, and in-office whitening works best," says Roberts. However, when you apply the gel on dry teeth and leave it on for a period undisturbed, a whitening pen will have a chance to work on brightening your teeth.

How long your teeth whitening application lasts depends on several factors. Many come down to your personal lifestyle choices and the proper care you take to preserve your glowing grin.
Only then can you experience long-lasting results. For those who drink coffee every morning or indulge in a glass of red wine during the evening to unwind, it will inevitably shorten how long the teeth whitening lasts.
So, if you want to make the most out of your teeth whitening kit or whitening toothpaste, consider limiting the following:. Aside from limiting these particular teeth-staining treats and drinks, also be sure to brush your teeth twice a day with a whitening toothbrush with bacteria-killing blue lightwave technology to keep your teeth whitening efforts lasting as long as possible.
Of course, when you do begin to see some recurring stains, you can always touch them up with a teeth whitening pen. A whitening pen is a portable, quick solution that can prevent new stains from setting, allowing you to maintain a white smile.
Simply twist the dial to release whitening serum and brush it across the surface of your teeth. Comes with bonus Go Smile Stain Eraser. I use this product every day. It works! It took me maybe 3 weeks to start seeing consistent results.
It's definitely worth the wait though! I can drink cup of coffee and still look great! I bought this product on a whim while shopping at Ulta, and after using it consistently for several months I'm just not impressed. I was initially attracted to this product for the reasonable price and the product's ease of use; I've used teeth whitening strips and trays many times and have seen consistently pleasing results, but they're kind of a hassle, but since you can use this gel with toothpaste and apply it at the same time as your regular brushing it's really low-maintenance.
The gel's formula is really similar to the stuff that's in teeth whitening trays it has a similar taste as well , but I just don't think it's strong enough to be effective Since you brush with it just like toothpaste, I feel like it just doesn't sit on your teeth long enough to make them noticeably whiter. I didn't really see results after brushing with this for a couple of months, but it might make more of a difference for people with more noticeably stained teeth. So, in summary: super easy to use and the amount of product goes a long way for your money, but didn't deliver the dramatic results I was hoping for.
Oh well! According to my dentist, my teeth are within one or two of the whitest possible natural shades. However, I've been developing a lot more tea stains this past year and was looking for something that wouldn't require me to take on a new habit remembering to get and use a kit and wouldn't generate so much waste.
I figured having a tube of this would make it easier for my husband to whiten his teeth too he definitely wasn't interested in going out of his way to use a kit. It hasn't caused any sensitivity for either my husband or myself and has greatly helped reduce my stains they're still visible on my bottom teeth where I have some enamel damage. I definitely prefer this product over strips and would purchase it again to help prolong my results if I decide to spend more money at the dentist's for a stronger treatment.
That being said, I'm still undecided as to whether or not it's a good value for the price on it's own: it definitely works, but it can only do so much. I received this as a sample from Ulta. After just one use, I noticed a huge difference! I'm a heavy smoker, and my teeth were sooo yellow and tar stained. I use a regular whitening toothpaste, but it barely makes a difference. I added Go Smile Whitening Gel to my routine, and bam!
Now, my teeth aren't perfectly white, like the teeth of a non smoker, but they are significantly better. The difference is very noticeable, and I'm not embarrassed to smile anymore! This has made a huge difference in my oral care routine. I already went out and bought a full size bottle! I use this once a day for over 6 months with an electric toothbrush with a 2 minute timer. Removes daily coffee stains and gradually whitens teeth naturally. Highly recommend despite the price.
