Taking good care of your teeth can be as simple as brushing twice a day, mouthwash, floss, and maybe working in a trip to the dentist every 6-12 months to make sure everything is all good. But sometimes we want the extra razzle dazzle, and that’s where the magic of teeth whitening comes in.
It’s not a secret that white teeth instantly improve your smile. It’s also no secret that getting your teeth bleached at the dentist or even opting for a highend whitening system can be pretty pricey. We’re talking $150 and up!
Yeah, that’s a bummer. But we’re not really trippin’ over that because budget-friendly whitening options exist! Let’s get into three products that are super effective and won’t break the bank.
Hismile PAP+ Whitening Strips, $31
Whitening strips aren’t some groundbreaking development. They’ve been around for years and while they’re used by many, they still come with their fair share of drawbacks. Sensitive teeth. Ineffective. Easy slippage.
That’s why it’s super important to find strips that are actually worth the money. Cue Hismile’s PAP+ Whitening Strips—the dentist-backed instant teeth whitening system that won’t make your teeth feel all crazy afterward.
Yup! These bad boys whiten your teeth after just one go and don’t cause any gum or tooth irritation in the process. And the best part? It aids in remineralization, which helps damaged teeth begin to naturally heal.
Tarte Pearly Girl Vegan Whitening Pen, $22
I know what you’re thinking: a whitening pen? That sounds a little too temporary. But you’ve got it all wrong! It’s not like you’re taking an acrylic paint pen and covering your teeth in white for the night—this is just a gel pen.
So basically what you do is, twist out the teeth whitening gel and apply it to your teeth using the easy-applicator brush. After you let it sink into your teeth for 15 or 20 minutes, you’ll have a bright new, picture-worthy smile.
This cool little whitening pen from Tarte is perfect for those of you who worry about small issues like teeth staining from coffee or just need a few teeth touch-ups before you hit the dentist for a visit.
Bite Teeth Whitening Gel, $24
With a name like bite, they were bound to get it right! So this unique looking product is basically just a teeth whitening serum that you apply by brushing it onto your teeth, one by one, until you get your desired outcome.
Unlike other gels, Bite doesn’t promise instantly white teeth after one use. The promise is actually a two week thing where you brush it on your teeth for 30 minutes and wait for the magic to happen after day 14.
It sounds like a tedious commitment, but hear me out—it’s so worth it! It’s not made with any harmful chemicals, def not animal tested, and it tastes like freakin’ peppermint! How can you not try this at least one good time?
