Do All Teeth Whitening Kits Work?
It would be nice to believe that all the products you see online are the genuine article. After all, who doesn’t want to see the good in everything? But unfortunately this isn’t always the case…
The truth is some manufacturers will try to cut corners with their ingredients and testing, in a bid to reduce costs and boost profits. And as a result you are often left with a product that is either too weak to work or worse, one that causes damage to your teeth.
So what can you do? Give up your dreams of whiter teeth? No…
In a few easy steps, you can learn how to spot the scams and ensure you are getting the real deal – a teeth whitening gel which can genuinely help to brighten your smile and keep your teeth safe.
How to spot scams…
Scams unfortunately are more common than you think, so it is important that you know how to recognise them so you don’t end up wasting your money.
To ensure this doesn’t happen to you, we have highlighted some top tips for spotting quality teeth whitening gels:
Product history
Before you invest in any product, it is important that you do your research and check to see how long it has been on the market. The longer the product has been around, the more confident you can feel in its results.
Take Dr George’s Dental White for instance… We have been supplying dentists with our unique teeth whitening gel formula since 1989. That is 23 years, where we have successfully helped you to whiten your teeth and improve your smile.
Cost
With dentists costing hundreds if not thousands of pounds, the pull of a cheap, affordable product can feel very attractive. Yet it is important that you are careful and don’t choose the cheapest option. A product that is too good to be true may be cheap for a reason.
Avoid free trials
Free trials may look appealing, however this free offering is often employed as a tactic to get your bank details (to pay for delivery), so that they can charge you every month for a product you do not want and which is difficult to cancel once you have signed up.
Guarantee
Guarantees can offer you the added reassurance that should the product not work, you can get your money back. So if you find a product that either doesn’t offer a guarantee or gives one that isn’t for very long (too short a time to test the product), then you should approach with caution.
Concentration
Teeth whitening gels are essentially designed to bleach your teeth by converting coloured compounds into colourless compounds using Carbamide Peroxide. To achieve this, the gel needs to contain the right concentration of Carbamide Peroxide. Too much (over 20%) and you risk damaging/irritating your teeth or gums. Too weak (below 9%) and you will see little if any results (or you will be waiting a long time to see any results).
It is possible to safely whiten your teeth, and ensure you are investing in the real deal. So before you consider investing in any teeth whitening gel, remember to bear the above points in mind and do your research. With the right teeth whitening gel you can successfully help to whiten your teeth by 11 shades in a few weeks.
