Teeth whitening pen: our opinion on the best products on the market

Brushing your teeth is essential, but not always enough to have white teeth. The colour of your teeth darkens anyway as you age and depending on the foods and drinks you consume. Spots also appear, often related to your eating habits and if you smoke. To remedy this inconvenience, there are many solutions, including the whitening pen.

Some pens are designed to whiten your teeth permanently using staining agents such as hydrogen peroxide, while others are simply temporary makeup tools that allow you to conceal your stains while you wait for a more comprehensive root canal.

Why the teeth whitening pen rather than another process?

The whitening pen is prized for its ease of use and quick action. You have a container from which you squeeze out the gel and apply it to your teeth with a brush.

Depending on the process, some products require time to dry or you have to rinse it after a few minutes, but this is simple and does not require any special accessories, unlike the gel of tooth whitening that requires trays at the dentist's office or UV lamp lighting.

The whitening pen fits in your bag, and even in your pocket. You can take it anywhere, for a touch-up before a party or for your weekends and vacations.

The prices of teeth whitening pens differ from one product to another, but remain in reasonable ranges, often under 25 €.

The whitening pen: instructions for use

For the use of your pen, please refer to the instruction manual, as it differs from one brand to another. However, the principle is the same for all, it consists in spreading a whitening gel on the teeth with a brush.

Check to see if you should wait for it to dry, or if you should rinse your mouth afterwards.

The Bbryance raspberry pen

The Bbryance whitening pen can be used to whiten the back teeth, which are difficult to access with the kit's tray, or some teeth that are darker than others for a uniform whiteness. It is very convenient to use and fits easily in your handbag.

Made in France, this pen is in conformity with all European directives. So you can use it without fear.

We particularly appreciate its raspberry taste, very pleasant and its pretty girly design.

To use it, simply apply it to the teeth and leave it on for 10 minutes, avoiding moving the lips. Then you can rinse your mouth and enjoy the results!

The LDREAMAM whiteting pen

The LDREAMAM Whitening Pen does not contain peroxide, but another product that is gentler on the gums, allowing sensitive people to use it.

The gel must respect a time of pose of a quarter of hour with to rinse you the mouth. While waiting to rinse, you will enjoy its pleasant fresh mint taste.

Remember to brush your teeth well before applying it. LDREAMAM deserved to be mentioned for its low cost and high capacity (40 applications), but it appears at the bottom of our list, because it is less efficient than the two previous ones.

But be careful with your choice!

The bleaching pen also has disadvantages that can even be dangerous if you are not careful with its composition.

If you use a whitening pen that is a simple makeup stick, you are not taking any risks. The white masks the color of your teeth and any stains, but does not interfere with the structure of your teeth.

It leaves when you brush your teeth. However, if you use a whitening pen that uses hydrogen peroxide, the dosage should be reasonable.

The danger is that it may be too strong and irritate your gums or even damage your enamel irreversibly. Check the composition of the product you buy.

You should also not buy pens that use chemicals that could damage your teeth.

There are also some reservations about using the pen. You need to apply it carefully so that the effect looks natural. Don't apply too much and spread it evenly, otherwise the result could be worse than your natural teeth.

The whitening pen is perfect for a small touch-up in case of emergency or for a special event, but for an in-depth treatment, it is not the most effective.
