Everyone wants a bright, white smile. With so many products on the market—such as teeth whitening pens—it can be hard to know what is safe and effective. Teeth whitening pens use a bleaching agent to help remove teeth stains and discoloration. These pens can be easily accessible, which makes them a popular option. With that being said, professional teeth whitening could be a better option. At Supreme Dentistry, we offer
teeth whitening services that provide a safe teeth-whitening experience.
When using teeth whitening pens, it’s important to remember that teeth whitening is not permanent, so it may be necessary to repeat the procedure every few months. However, professional teeth whitening services can provide longer-lasting teeth whitening results and more consistent whitening throughout your teeth. Call Supreme Dentistry at
844.966.2333 to learn about teeth whitening services.
Do Teeth Whitening Pens Work?
Teeth whitening pens release a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on your teeth. The hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidizing agent that helps break down the stains on your teeth from coffee, tea, wine, and other foods that can cause discoloration. Generally speaking, these pens will provide short-term results by making your teeth appear whiter for a few hours after application.
However, these pens are less effective than professional treatments because they contain much lower hydrogen peroxide concentrations than professionally administered treatments. Additionally, applying too much product with these pens is very easy, which can lead to gum irritation or even burns on your gums in some cases.
Are Teeth Whitening Pens Safe?
Overall, teeth whitening pens are considered safe if used according to the directions provided with each product. However, it is important to note that most products only require you to use them once or twice a week due to their high concentration of chemicals. Some effects that teeth whitening pens can have include:
- Teeth sensitivity
- Gum irritation
- Burns
Additionally, teeth-whitening pens are not recommended for children under 16. At Supreme Dentistry, we offer teeth whitening services that use professional-grade products and techniques that can safely provide you with a brighter smile in minutes. Our teeth whitening services use light instead of chemicals to break down teeth stains and discoloration, so there is no need to worry about sensitivity or irritation.
The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
There is no substitute for professional treatment for dental care and especially teeth whitening treatments. Unlike at-home kits like those found in drugstores or online stores, professional treatments use higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide which are applied directly onto your teeth and then activated by the intense light from LED lights specifically designed for this purpose. This provides fast and long-lasting results that you won’t get from over-the-counter products like pen kits—all while being completely safe under the supervision of our experienced dentists at Supreme Dentistry.
Professional teeth whitening can include benefits such as:
- Faster, longer-lasting results
- Improved teeth health
- Safety and supervision of experienced professionals
- Consistent whitening throughout your teeth
While teeth whitening pens offer convenience and temporary results, professional teeth whitening services provide a safe teeth-whitening experience that can give you long-lasting results in a fraction of the time.
