1. Teeth whitening at home: affordable, a little time-consuming, very good results<\/h2>\n

These days whitening your teeth at home has become the new normal. In the past people paid a lot to buy this service at the dentist, but that is no longer necessary. Dentists mostly use a whitening gel that contains hydrogen peroxide, which in the long run damages teeth and gums. Hydrogen peroxide corrodes the teeth and removes stains that way.<\/p>\n

Doing this once a year is perfectly fine, but more often and over a longer period it is harmful. It is also quite an expensive procedure. The journal “Interdisciplinary Dentistry” writes about home teeth whitening as if it were the golden egg.<\/p>\n

This recognition for home whitening comes from the fact that it is a very safe, affordable procedure with high-quality results.<\/p>\n

Tooth trays are a very important part here: they let you make a whitening tray that fits your own teeth exactly at home. That means the gel is in maximum contact with your teeth. Making the tray is extremely easy: the rubber tray is placed in hot water for a moment and then pressed between your teeth to make an impression.<\/p>\n
