How to Use a Teeth Bleaching Kit

Bleaching your teeth can turn an unattractive, yellow smile into a sparkling pearly-white grin. White teeth present an attractive appearance. Whitening your teeth at home with a bleaching kit is usually far less expensive than going to the dentist for the treatment. According to the Consumer Guide to Dentistry, at home whitening takes longer than whitening at the dentist's office due to the lower concentration of the bleaching ingredient. Nevertheless, the whitening results are just as effective over the long term.
