 My name is Andrea. Welcome to my channel. Hello to those of you who have come back. If you haven't yet, please click like and subscribe to me. If you are a lover of all things dental like me, I talk about dental things. In this video, I want to talk to you guys about at home teeth whitening kits, which ones are the best, and why you don't necessarily want to buy the most expensive one or the cheapest ones. And then also talking about Amazon at home products too. I'm going to tell you guys which ones work which ones don't why and why not. Even if you want to buy a different kit do your own research. What are some things you want to look for so without further ado, I'm going to jump right into it. I love the Wicked White Pro at home kit. Doesn't this come in a nice box anyway? I'm a sucker for nice boxes. I'm a sucker for gift bags. It even comes with a gift bag if you add that to your cart. This one is truly the best. I like white teeth. Can you guys tell? I whiten my teeth on the regular. I use this kit every three months because I like white teeth. But you might not have to use it that often, maybe once every six months, maybe once a week for 15 minutes if you want to. That's another reason why I like this kit. What it comes with is it comes with a reusable tray with a light. So I'm going to talk about why a light is important in a second comes with a USB charger. It comes with a USB charger. That is something you want to look for in your teeth whitening light. It comes with two peroxide pens and a pre-treatment spray to brush with first. Why are all of these things important? Oh, and sorry guys, it comes with an instruction manual and a shade guide, which is awesome. I'd say I'm pretty white. So let me talk about these things. Even if you want to look into other products, what you want to look for is a tray. You do not just want to buy peroxide pens. I turned the light on here. You don't just want to buy peroxide pens and then sit there like this for 30 minutes and then brush the peroxide on the teeth and walk around like this. Hey, it might be cheaper, but nobody walks around like this. Even if you want to, as soon as those lips touch your teeth, as soon as you close the mouth, as soon as saliva gets on them, which happens right away, by the way, the peroxides aren't going to work. You need a tray to really keep those peroxides in place. So with this kit, just as an example, you would take out the peroxide pen and brush on that peroxide, put the tray in your mouth. That keeps your lips and everything away of the peroxides that's on the teeth, turn on the light and done and done. You can have your teeth white in as little as 15 minutes. I like to leave mine on for half an hour, even 45 minutes because the longer the better. Within reason, the peroxides are deactivated after a certain amount of time depending on the kit you purchase. So I say 45 minutes at the most 15 minutes at the least for the waiting to work. Again, I leave my tray in for about 45 minutes when I do it. Another thing you want to look for in your tray is you want one with a light and a charging cord. Batteries suck. Those batteries are going to be done within a couple days. So then your tray doesn't work without the light. What's the point? A light is very important to activate those ingredients of the peroxide. Without the light, the peroxides work to whiten the teeth, yes, but it's going to take longer. So when I said I leave my tray in for 45 minutes, you would have to leave yours in for two hours for it to do the same amount of work and whiten the teeth in the same way. So you want one with a light and a charging cord. That's why I like this kit. It's amazing. Another thing to prepare the teeth for the whitening is the most important. You cannot, those peroxides will not work if you brush the teeth first with toothpaste. You need a special solution to brush the teeth with first that isn't going to hinder the process of the peroxides. If you brush with toothpaste, toothpaste is a natural protective coating. Makes sense. That's why we use toothpaste. But if you brush with toothpaste, these peroxides that you're brushing on your teeth are not going to work as well because it's just sitting above that protective coating. It's not penetrating the tooth. That's what we want. Another reason why I like this kit is because it includes the pretreatment spray to brush with first and it's such a nice minty flavor. If you don't like mint, then what I tell people to do is to brush with a dry toothbrush. No toothpaste. Brush with that. That helps to take away plaque, saliva, and any natural oils that are left on the teeth. Another reason why I like this kit, it includes everything as I'm turning it on again. And a shade guide part of the fund is checking to see which shade you had started off with. Do that and then if you want to be this white. Okay, let's say you had started here at the very end, number 15. It might take you longer to get the teeth to number one. It might take you a month of whitening every day for 15 minutes. If you're this shade and you want to go to maybe number four, which is still pretty good, it might take you seven days to whiten the teeth for 15 minutes. But that's why I tell people to whiten the teeth for 45 minutes, at least three days. Okay. So you need to be able to see what your shade is and then how long you need to keep whitening to get to that shade. At home, teeth whitening kits do work and they're more cost-effectively than getting your teeth whitened by a dental professional. But I will say, if you want your teeth whined fast, you know, quickly, easy, let's say you are this shade and you want your teeth to be this shade. It might be more beneficial for you to get your teeth whitened by a dental professional or a teeth whitening technician because we use very strong peroxides and desensitizers. So your teeth aren't crazy sensitive, but we use stronger peroxides to get the teeth six shades or more lighter in 60 minutes. So that's the difference. If timing doesn't matter to you, using the right at home kit is truly fantastic. I might be wondering, I'm trying not to mention company names here, but there are strips out there to whiten the teeth. You'll see a whitening toothpaste, you'll see Amazon peroxides, do not buy any of those and I'll tell you why super quickly. So those strips do not work because they fall off the teeth. It's plain and simple, you guys, they fall off the teeth. But how much peroxide can really be in those little strips? Not much and they're not meant for everybody's mouth. So if you get those little strips on the gums, it's going to burn the gums. You don't want that. With a pen, you know where it's going with the tray, you can hold it in place easy peasy. With a whitening toothpaste, they work to keep staying off, but they do not make the teeth whiter. So if you want your teeth whiter, whiter, don't use a whitening toothpaste, get the teeth whiten first by a kit or by a dental professional or teeth whining technician. Amazon products, Amazon peroxides do not work. If you have a tooth whining counter, they can typically only sell certain levels of peroxides that just aren't good enough. So you can buy these peroxides, whitening kits, anything off of Amazon, but they're not going to work. You're simply spending your money for no reason. If they do work, it's not going to last. That's another key component. For teeth whining products to last, they need to contain two different peroxides that are only sold by dental professionals or teeth whining technicians because they can't be sold over the counter. You need a professional to sell those to you. If you guys are interested in this kit, I will leave the link for you down below with a coupon code to get you money off of the kit.

This is the best kit, money well spent. And what I didn't mention, which is hilarious because that's important. These trays are reusable. So you keep the kit, you keep the tray. When the peroxides run out and you need more, you can buy new ones for like $40. How amazing is that? That's so much cheaper. So you're spending the money on a kit initially. Let's just say $150 approximately. But you keep it. So then to upkeep white teeth, $40. And this is 10 to 15 uses approximately, depending on how large your teeth are. I have large teeth, so I might get a little bit less and how much you use. And two pens are included in this kit. I encourage you to try this kit. I use the same kit, by the way.
