Is there a low-cost, effective and safe teeth whitening method?
You mean, a cheap but effective and safe teeth whitening method with no abrasives, no chemicals and no lights?
It is well understood that not everyone can afford teeth whitening by laser procedure or some other complicated methods, and not everyone is suitable to use these teeth whitening methods. In addition, most commercial teeth whiteners contain higher percentage of peroxide than commercial hydrogen peroxide.
So, what’s left for those who just want an effective, affordable and safe way to whiten their teeth?
Be realistic. There is no such ideal situations where you can get things cheap, effective, safe and fast, etc. It’s either or. However, this is not the end of the world. According to some people who have experience with teeth whitening, there are teeth whitening methods that are safe and effective, but not necessarily fast or cheap.
Cheap and effective
- but the effect is slower
One person suggested that you can whiten teeth at home by using baking soda as a mild abrasive and use hydrogen peroxide as the rinse. First, brush your teeth with baking soda, then you rinse with commercial hydrogen peroxide for 1 minute. Your mouth will foam and your gums will change color temporarily. Then rinse thoroughly with water followed by your regular toothpaste. This is to get rid of the taste of the hydrogen peroxide.
While this method may take much longer to achieve results that you see with commercial teeth whiteners, but it is low in cost, does not lead to tooth sensitivity and actually helps to prevent gingivitis! So, it can be considered an economical and safe teeth whitening method to do at home.
Fast and effective
- Not cheap, but still considered affordable
Using home teeth whitener made without harmful chemicals or from natural ingredients is another option to an effective and safe way to whiten your teeth. One such teeth whitening product is Idol White teeth whitening pens, developed by the Kardashians sisters.
Idol White teeth whitening pen has been receiving positive testimonials from its users, expressing that the product is easy to use and achieves fabulous results fast (some said the effect is within minutes!). You can use it twice a day and 2-3 time a week, as it has been proven to be safe, using only safe and non-hazardous ingredients. Because it come as a pen applicator, you can even take it along while you are on a holiday.
