Teeth Whitening Pen - Does it Work?

There are so many whitening products on the market, but what really works? One of the latest products is the teeth whitening pen. The Whitening Pen uses a 5.25% hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel delivered from its brush. The whitening pen acts both as a follow-up whitener, applied to maintain the salon treatment, or as a stand-alone whitening product for at-home use. As you might expect, the brush-on teeth whitening involves brushing a hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel onto the surface of teeth, one tooth at a time. This brushing activity is similar to the way polish is applied to fingernails. Once the brush-on gel has been applied to a tooth's surface it solidifies so to form a somewhat invisible film. There are mixed reviews on the pen, but it varies for each individual. If you’re interested, I say give it a shot and see how it works for you.
