Billion Dollar Smile LED Teeth Whitening Kit

Product Information

Smile White is a UK-based oral care company that provides professional treatments you can use at home. Smile White partners with dentists all across the country to help patients get the treatment they need at an affordable price and without the inconvenience of multiple in-office visits. The gel also contains hydroxyapatite, a mineral that’s found in teeth and is in some toothpastes to remineralise teeth when they’ve been damaged. The idea of including it in a whitening kit is that it helps repair any damage done during the whitening process. Hismile is another popular kit that includes this protective ingredient. Teeth whitening products aim to remove surface stains on the tooth and penetrate the enamel, to break down the discoloured molecules within. This leaves teeth looking whiter overall. The solutions often contain active bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which remove the deeper stains from your teeth.

If you regularly drink tea, coffee, red wine and other staining foods and drinks, switching to a whitening toothpaste can help stop the build up of everyday stains. They can generally take a few weeks to start seeing results." There are various substances derived from nature that can be used for whitening effects. Papain, for example, is an interesting enzyme found in raw papaya fruit. It disrupts the biofilm on the teeth and gums, helping to dislodge bacteria and staining compounds. In doing so, the enzyme increases the amount of light that is reflected off the tooth, hence making it appear lighter and brighter. Bromelain – an enzyme extracted from the juice and stem of the pineapple – has a similar impact on the dental biofilm. Studies have found products containing papain and bromelain to provide significantly better luminosity and stain removal compared to those that don’t. [viii] LED gel kit: The LED teeth whitening light won’t make your teeth whiter, but it will accelerate the teeth whitening gel and make it more effective at breaking down tough stains. If you don’t have the custom-made tray created to your exact mouth shape, the LED light is good for reducing the amount of time the gel has to stay in your mouth. All the other ingredients noted are for general teeth cleaning, such as bicarbonate of soda and lye. These may help to remove some surface stains but are unlikely to contribute much to teeth whitening. So, if you prefer to use natural dental products then this could be a good choice of whitening kit for you.

Hydrogen peroxide-based products alter inflammatory and tissue damage-related proteins in the gingival crevicular fluid of healthy volunteers: a randomized trial.

Other ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium perborate, activated charcoal or even coconut oil offer a more natural alternative, although these are usually considered less effective, as they mainly only remove surface stains. In the UK, teeth whitening kits can be bought over the counter but only if they contain less than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide. This means they aren't as strong as professional whitening treatments, as a qualified dentist can legally use up to 6% hydrogen peroxide. Billion Dollar Smile use a lot of natural ingredients in their products and proudly say that everything is vegan. It’s worth noting that the company aren’t certified under Cruelty Free International’s Leaping Bunny programme, which is a gold standard of vegan-friendly products. x] Pascolutti M, de Oliveira D.

Refrain from using teeth whitening kits too often as studies show this can negatively affect tooth enamel. How long do teeth whitening kits take to work? For the Billion Dollar Smile USB Teeth Whitening Kit, you use the gel pen to paint an even layer of gel over your teeth, put the mouth guard in your mouth to cover your teeth, and turn on the light. It should run for 16 minutes with a full charge, but if you haven't charged it you can run it while it's plugged in. Another good thing about the pen applicator is that it reduces the risk of excess gel squirting out of the mouth guard and damaging your gums. However, Billion Dollar Smile don't currently sell refills of these pens so when you're out of gel, you have to buy a whole new kit. Not economical at all. Ingredients ★★★★☆ (4/5 stars)

There are no claims about how many shades of improvement you’ll see when using the Billion Dollar Smile teeth whitening kits. That makes it tough to measure how successful the kits are. Amazing product, my teeth were so much whiter after only a few goes. Highly recommend the product!”
