How to do teeth whitening treatment at home

If you are a big coffee drinker like I am or even a smoker, your teeth may be suffering from some yellowing or stains and you may be considering a visit to dentist to get them brighten up.

However, a visit to dentist can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars but there are definitely a solution for that and one that can be done from the comfort of your home.

I have used several different DIY teeth whitening kits and the Crest 3D is by far my favorite for a couple of reasons:

1 - It works really well

2 - Does not cause sensitivity for me

3 - Easy to do it on the go.

Tips for using a Teeth Whitening treatment kit at home

I highly recommend that you choose the teeth whitening treatment kit that comes with the blue light. I have used kits that do not include the light and it makes a huge difference in how much brighter your teeth looks, in my opinion.

Now, as far as time, it takes 1 hour to complete the treatment and 5 minutes for the blue lights so plan your treatment according to your schedule. I like to do my teeth whitening kit on the go while traveling to a place where the trip will take over an hour, it's such a great way to use my time while just sitting down.

When you apply the product be sure to also stretch it out so you can get the most amount of product on your teeth. After I place and stretch the strips on my teeth, I also smooth out the strips against my teeth with my fingers so the product can get in between the creases.

Now, once the hour has passed, still with the strips on, you are going to go ahead and place the handheld lighting device in your mouth and press the two buttons on the side to turn it on. You will want to keep it on for about 5 minutes but there is no need to time it as the device will beep to alert you to remove it from your mouth.

Finally, you can remove the strips from your teeth and see the results for yourself, which are brighter and whiter teeth for a fraction of the cost that you would get at a dentist, also without the hassle of traveling to and waiting at the dental office.

For better results, try not to eat anything within the first hour after treatment and avoid foods with bright pigments such as tomato sauce, beets, for the first 24 hours.

I have been using this treatment for years and I always get compliments on how white my teeth are and the results are pretty amazing.

The price is pretty fair too but I like to wait until the Holiday season because I discovered that I can get a much better deal on the Crest 3D Kit versus other times in the year. I have paid as low as $39.99 for the 10 treatments and blue light.

And here's my last tip: if you still have a blue light but have run out of teeth whitening strips, just buy the pack that comes with the strips, skip the blue light package, and save yourself some cash.
