So, here is what exactly is a teeth whitening pen. There are many people who think this is just like a whitening toothpaste, but this is not fully true actually. The plastic teeth whitening pen is the container of the teeth whitening substance, also called teeth whitening gel.

There are many companies, offering teeth whitening pens with caps designed to prevent the gel from spilling out. The most important component of a teeth whitening pen is the gel into it, which whitens your teeth by destroying stains on the inner tooth dentin layer. Teeth whitening gel contains approximately 12-35 % carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, which is the main whitening substance. After application to the external layer, teeth whitening gel and especially carbamide peroxide is absorbed deeply in teeth and thus reaches the inner teeth layer dentin, where food stains are gradually destroyed. Final results much depend on frequency of use which should not be more than the recommended as hydrogen peroxide might damage enamel if applied too often and on some other factors - eating habits, age, frequency of teeth brushing.
