One of the added benefits of the mint cosmetics teeth whitening kit is the teeth whitening pen.
It is included in the deluxe package that they offer, and I find it very convenient. When you don´t have the time to use the mouth trays, you can use the pen. Each pen has about fifteen applications.
There are a lot of counterfeit teeth whitening pens on the market, with potentially harmful ingredients. So watch out if you purchase pens from other companies. You can´t go wrong with the mint cosmetics teeth whitening pen.
When I began researching this company, I noticed something different. It is quite obvious that they have done their research. The ingredients they use are of the highest grade, and their results are based on real tests.
What I really like about home based teeth whitening kits like this, is the cost. The ingredients that are being used in cosmetic dentistry are the same as used in home based kits. So the difference between a dentist made mould, supplied with bleaching gel, and a Do-It-Yourself kit is really just the cost.
I had been wondering whether I should go to the dentist and have my teeth “professionally” whitened, because that would be more effective I thought. I had been setting money aside for some time and was really going through with it.
In the meantime I studied teeth whitening kits extensively, and came to the conclusion that there is virtually no difference.
They contain practically the same ingredients, and the results are quite similar, results from cosmetic dentistry are sometimes even poorer. That is because there are still so many carbamide peroxide based gels out there, the Sodium Bicarbonate (Na HCO3) based gels work a lot better, and work significantly faster.
Some of these home based kits have a bad reputation, as in the early days when they first came out, the gels were too weak, sometimes too strong, and they had a lot of unnecessary ingredients in them, and the results were up and down.
Many people claimed that those particular products hurt their teeth, making them more sensitive to cold temperatures and similar issues like that.
However, the years passed and the makers adapted and teeth whitening kits became a lot more successful. So far, The Mint Cosmetics, Sodium Bicarbonate (Na HCO3) based gel, is one of, if not the best one, on the market today.
I am really enjoying my new smile and I´m really glad I opted out of “professional” bleaching.
I got my smile back for a just a fraction of the cost.
