If you've ever wondered, "how to whiten my teeth with those pesky teeth whitening pens", here's a few tips on getting it right. Follow this simple tutorial to maximize the effectiveness of this simple at home treatment for teeth whitening.

The benefits of teeth whitening pens are simple: ease of use, flexibility in use (you can use them anywhere), and better taste (those whitening strips from the drugstore do not taste good). Teeth whitening pens also save you money by preventing the need to visit your dentist for harsh and expensive whitening treatments.

Teeth whitening pens are easy to use and can be used anywhere. Instructions vary from product to product, but the most common technique is as follows:

1. Remove the cap from the pen
2. Apply the whitening gel with the brush applicator to all of your teeth
3. Wait a few minutes to allow the gel to penetrate
4. Rinse your mouth and smile!

That's simple enough, don't you think? It sure beats using those strips from the drugstore. Even if you use a whitening pen outside of home, no one knows because it's invisible. Those strips are visible and leave behind a horrible taste. Whitening trays and mouthpieces are even more inconvenient. They are definitely visible so you can't perform your whitening procedure outside of the privacy of your home. They can also lead to gum soreness if they don't fit your mouth properly.

Make sure when you use your pen you follow the instructions specified on the product. Some pens require that you keep your mouth open a few minutes to allow the product to dry, where others don't. Some pens may require that you abstain from drinking or eating for an hour or two. This is to allow the whitening gel ample time to penetrate. If you eat or drink after the application, you may remove too much of the gel for it to be effective.
