Tooth whitening pens seem quick and convenient, but do they really work?
The short answer... Not as well as you hope they will.
The long answer... Tooth whitening pens only treat mild surface stains and do not offer long-term results. Some people may also experience tooth sensitivity due to the bleaching agents in the gel.
While tooth whitening pens are convenient, if you are looking for a whitening solution that will last longer than a few hours (at worst) or a couple days (at best), you are better off booking a consultation with your dentist. That way, you can come up with a treatment plan that has the greatest chance of success in helping you meet your goals.
