It’s
fair to say that all people want to have a sparkling, red
carpet-worthy smile. Nowadays, anyone can have it with the plethora
of both DIY and professional whitening solutions out there. Be
warned, however: of both whitening methods, DIY is the riskiest.
For
one, most of the DIY
teeth whitening kits sold on the market harbor two chemicals that
aren’t really meant for the mouth: chlorine dioxide (the same
chemical used in disinfecting swimming pools) and hydrogen peroxide.
On a general note, these chemicals are still used by trained
professionals so safety isn’t a question. When these chemicals find
their way into the hands of untrained, inexperienced individuals,
however, the dangers rise.
