With professional teeth whitening services costing from $500 to $1000 per sessionhome remedies to get more pearly whites may be more doable for you.
However, there are hundreds of at-home teeth whitening brands, kits, and products on the market, and being faced with so many claiming to do the same thing can leave you with a not-so-great opportunity to make an effective financial decision. . So in the past, we used experts to give it to us directly.
When we talk to Dr. Emanuel Laylievthe former president of the New York Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and a leading cosmetic dentist in New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in Manhattan in 2020 to figure out which expensive at-home teeth whitening products are worth the money, we learned that the most popular at-home teeth whitening method is also the most effective: whitening strips.
“They have been around for a long time and I highly recommend them. And the reason I think a lot about them is because it’s just a medium that has the ability to stay on the teeth because it’s all about contact time,” he explained at the time.
Although effective, traditional whitening strips usually contain hydrogen or carbamide peroxide which can cause tooth sensitivity. If you’ve ever used a Crest White Strip, you’ve probably experienced short- or long-term irritation after use. This is because the peroxide can reach your gums or the soft layer of dentin on the enamel of your teeth, where the nerves are located. Depending on how often you whiten your teeth and your level of sensitivity, this may prevent you from using whitening strips all the time and therefore prevent you from achieving a whiter, brighter smile (most shapes recommend using whitening strips for at least a week or up to a month to see results). Having struggled with hypersensitive teeth ourselves, we sometimes find traditional whitening strips to be unbearably uncomfortable, even from the first use.
However, we might have come up with an oral care brand alternative Lumineux.
Lumineux specializes in oral care products made with natural ingredients — namely Dead Sea salt, coconut oil, lemon peel oil and aloe vera. The founder and CEO of the brand, dentist Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, was the first to use Dead Sea salt – which is packed with minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc and potassium – a whole line of oral care to address a variety of oral health goals from teeth whitening to tooth sensitivity. teeth.
While Lumineux sells a variety of non-sensitive oral care products such as mouthwash and toothpaste, the brand whitening strips is the #1 best selling teeth whitening product Amazon. Obviously, we set out to find out why.
After using Lumineux products daily for weeks, we have unexpectedly zero sensitivity — and visibly whiter teeth. Especially when used in conjunction with brand whitening mouthwash and toothpaste, two products that also use the same natural ingredients to produce whiter teeth without sensitivity. The brand recommends using the strips for 7 consecutive days, then once to twice a week.
Overall, we are very impressed with our results. All-natural strips successfully remove stains left by heavy drinking of coffee and red wine without irritation or pain, which means we will stick to our teeth whitening regimen this time.
You can pick up a pack of Lumineux’s Whitening Strips for $45, which includes 42 strips and 21 treatments (2-3 month supply).
