Teeth whitening kits that can be bought over the counter in drugstores are usually products that have been designed to brighten teeth gradually over a series of applications. The active ingredient is often a carbamide peroxide gel solution that is the whitening agent and is applied to the teeth as part of a tray or strip system.
You have to be a little bit careful about using this kind of treatment because the carbamide peroxide can be damaging to more sensitive parts of the body such as the gums and tongue. Products these days have been designed so that contact with these parts of the body are kept to the absolute minimum.
You should also check that the strength of the carbamide peroxide is within a level that is considered safe. Concentration levels of around 10 – 15% will ensure that your teeth will be whitened gradually and there will be a minimal amount of risk for tooth damage.
