Customer Reviews of Deep Stain 36% Teeth Whitening Shield Kits with FCP Remineralizing Gels -The New Choice in Whitening
Customer Review: Powerful stuff!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm getting married in September, and wanted to brighten my teeth for all of those expensive wedding pictures that I'm going to be in! So, instead of forking over $400+ for a whitening system from the dentist's office (when you're paying for a wedding, who has an extra $400 lying around?)I decided to give this system a try. The good news is that the stuff works! I've only used it twice so far (leaving it on for about an hour each time)and can see a difference in the color of my teeth. The bad news is, it really is powerful stuff and can do a number on your gums. I took the advice of some others, and dried my teeth off and applied the gel directly to my teeth using a q-tip with the cotton pulled off. While effective, there is still the "drool factor" which makes some of the gel migrate off of the teeth and on to the gums. Because it is a 36% percent peroxide product, it did cause some slight chemical burning on two small spots on my gums, along with some mild pain the second time I used it; the irritation resolved overnight. I used the product two days in a row- maybe it would have been smarter to wait a few days in between to give my gums a rest and a chance to recoup. I think that they were still sensitive from the first session. So now, I'm waiting a few days before I try it again. The only other issue I have with this product is the trays- I can see how custom-fit trays from the dentist would be nice. . . I'm sure it would make the process a bit easier. All in all, for the price, I really can't say that I made a bad investment. I will update this review after a few more whitening sessions, and let you all know how it turns out. Oh, and one other thing- I began using Sensodyne toothpaste a few days before I started whitening, and continue to use it to decrease tooth sensitivity post-whitening. So far, this has worked well for me.
