  Your teeth can get stained and discoloured over the years and this can have a negative impact on your self confidence. Tea, coffee, red wine and smoking can all cause your teeth to take on yellow or brown stains and this may make you think twice before smiling. Teeth whitening kits can provide you with an easy solution to this problem and help you to regain your brilliant smile.

What are Teeth Whitening Kits?

Cosmetic dental treatments can costs hundreds of pounds and can be very time consuming. You may have to take a lot of time off work to get your teeth whitening treatment done. A good solution to this is teeth whitening kits. These are available from most major pharmacies and also online. Teeth whitening kits provides you with an easy way of improving the colour of your teeth and boosting your confidence from the comfort of your own home.

How Do Teeth Whitening Kits Work?

Teeth whitening kits are very simple to use and generally contain rubber mouth trays (moulded in an average tooth shape) and bleaching gel products. Some kit providers can offer you custom moulded mouth trays which will fit your teeth exactly. This is a good option as it will ensure an even coverage for your teeth and produce the best results.

To use the kits all you need to do is squeeze the recommended amount of bleaching agent into the trays and then place them over your teeth. These kits can vary in strength but on average you will need to leave the trays in place for around 30 minutes for the optimum effects. You will need to set aside some quiet time for carrying out home whitening treatments as you will not be able to talk, eat or drink when you are using the mouth trays.

What Bleaching Agents are used?

Home whitening kits typically include a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These kits are formulated for safe home use and so are not as strong as the bleaches used by dentists. If you have very badly discoloured teeth you may need to see a dentist for more intensive whitening treatments. When you are buying home teeth whitening kits you do need to check the hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide content. The recommended level of these chemicals is just 0.1%.

Using Teeth Whitening Kits at Home

Always buy teeth whitening kits from a trusted supplier with a good reputation. This will ensure that the product has been tested and is safe and effective. Before you use the bleaching agents you do need to make sure you read the manufacturers instructions carefully. Never leave the mouth trays in place for longer than instructed as this could weaken the enamel on your teeth.

Teeth whitening kits can provide you with an affordable way to brighten up your smile. You can treat discoloured teeth from the comfort of your own home without any expensive or time consuming trips to the dentist.
