Teeth whitening strips, a pledge of your snow-white smile
You can also whiten your teeth at home without going to the dentist. This will help you whitening strips. This is a very effective tool, which is also confirmed by numerous reviews. And what are the strips and how to use them, let's see together.
Externally, the strips have the appearance of a thin plate, which is covered with a gel-like medical consistency. Thanks to the strips for whitening, you can get a noticeable whitening effect without leaving your home.
These strips will help you whiten your teeth by 1–4 tones. They can be used by people with teeth darkened by tea, coffee or smoking, as well as people who are naturally yellowish or grayish in color. The whitening substances present in the strips help those people who still have pigment spots after orthodontic braces, as well as those who were forced to take a number of drugs harmful to the teeth.
Action whitening strips
In such strips use gels that contain hydrogen peroxide and urea in their composition. As soon as you remove the protective film from the strip, the gel immediately becomes active. Peroxide begins to actively produce oxygen ions, which has pronounced oxidative properties. After application to the teeth, the ions penetrate deeply into the dental tissue, splitting the organic pigments into water and carbon dioxide. As a result of such splitting, tooth enamel becomes lighter.
More concentrated similar gels are used in dental clinics. Only they are activated by laser or light radiation. By the way, if you read reviews about the strips, many say that even the sensations are somewhat similar to the procedure at the dentist.

My teeth are whitened very carefully, which was important to me, since I have an increased sensitivity. And the yellowness of tea and coffee is removed literally after several procedures.

Of course, at the dentist all this is faster, but much more expensive, and the sensations of the dentist are not the most pleasant, but here - a very careful cleaning of the plaque is obtained.
