Do you remember the day that you woke up and you looked in the mirror and and you realized that your teeth were not as white as they used to be? In the early 1980s there was a quite a bit of a stir of people wanting to whiten their teeth.
At home teeth whitening kits then became very popular because it gave everyone the ability to whiten their teeth at home without having to go to the dentist.
However, many of these kits did not work as well as ever advertised and they needed to be reapplied every day to day show minimal results.
The peroxide compounds that were developed in the 1980s are now a "has been" compared to what is available now with at-home teeth whiting kits.
These new at-home teeth whitening kits are now given out as free trials, and it gives the American people the ability to "try before they buy".
The way an at-home teeth whitening kit works is quite unique and there are two types.
You can use a pen applicator that will apply the bleaching compound to your teeth, or you could use a small tooth tray that only needs to be worn for a few minutes a day.
The results are pretty much equal between both of these at home teeth whitening kits.
If your teeth are very discolored, you will need to apply the bleaching compound to your teeth every day until you get the desired results.
Generally people's teeth get discolored as we age and so it is important that we use a bleaching compound to maintain the aesthetics of our teeth.
As over-the-counter whitening products become more and more popular with the American public, dentistry is scrambling trying to come up with a better solution.
However, these kits are so cheap and they works so effectively the only time you would need to see your dentist is for a regular cleaning and checkup to make sure that your teeth and gums are still healthy.
