How Does a Teeth Whitening Pen Work?

Whitening pens all use some form of peroxide as their main whitening agent, whether it’s hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. There’s no significant difference across these two ingredients when it comes to whitening effectiveness, however, the way that agent is formulated into the whitening serum can affect sensitivity and how quickly that whitening solution works.

Most teeth whitening pens are designed to give your smile a quick pick me up when it comes to brightening. However, they rely on the peroxide agent used to deliver those results—which can lead to sensitivity. When picking the whitening pen that’s right for you be sure to look for one that’s both effective and gentle on teeth and gums.

Crest 3DWhite Whitening Pen is formulated differently than other whitening pens. That’s because the unique serum features the same enamel-safe teeth whitening ingredient that dentists use to better erase surface stains for a brighter, more confident smile.

Depending on how the serum is packaged, the application process can differ across various teeth whitening pens. Some whitening pens come with a separate brush that you use to simply swipe on individual teeth and back teeth. Others are developed to be portable, so you can squeeze the tube and apply the whitening solution on-the-go.

• Crest 3DWhite Teeth Whitening Pen: Perfect for a more controlled and precise whitening experience, plus its specifically designed for portability.. Just twist, apply and you’re good to go. there’s no need to rinse, brush, or remove anything afterward. For even more effective whitening results, you can brush it on 2X a day.

To continue to maintain a bright and healthy smile it’s important to follow a thorough, daily oral hygiene routine of brushing 2X/day for 2 minutes and flossing at least 1X/day. Make sure to visit your dental professional at least 2X a year for professional cleanings and checkups.
