Top 4 reasons for choosing at-home tooth whitening
Most people choose at-home tooth whitening because of price. Yes, price is a factor but there are other reasons too. Some of these may come as a surprise.
Why choose at-home whitening?
- Lower cost. It cost must less than professional tooth whitening. In-office treatments can cost abut $500-$600 or even more. At-home products can save you most of that money.
- At-home tooth bleaching works. Your teeth can be just as white with at-home treatment. It will take more time to reach the same results but it can be done.
- At-home whitening is more comfortable. No office visits. I cannot express how much I don’t like to visit my dentist, so it is a definite plus for me.
- At-home bleaching is gentle on your soft tissues. Dentists can use as much as 35% hydrogen peroxide gels. At-home products hardly go over 6% hydrogen peroxide concentration (which equals about 22% carbamide peroxide).
Note: At-home whitening is not for everyone. People with questionable oral health should discuss teeth whitening options with their dentists.
