They must work, right? They seems convenient enough. A pen size whitening gel dispenser that fits in your purse or pocket.
But there is one that is different - Listerine Whitening Pen
One obvious difference is who makes it. Johnson & Johnson, a division of McNeil PPC. And it is by Listerine - a brand you and your family has trusted for generations to kill the germs that causes bad breath.
The gel is concentrated with a formula of safe but powerful hydrogen peroxide that you sponge onto your teeth. And that is what makes it different. The applicator.
Which covers more, a hard pointed tip or a wide angled sponge? The soft, flexible tip makes it easier to coat your teeth evenly so your teeth don't end up splotchy. It also is easier to control the amount that comes in contact with your gums and soft tissue. That cuts down on sensitivity and gum irritation.
You have more control so you can target where the gel goes, and apply it in less time. If you want ultimate convenience, that's an important factor. Our world gets hectic enough without you spending precious time leaning over a sink grinning wide with a pen tip in your mouth hoping the gel is flowing somewhat evenly.
Not only that, but you can target which teeth need whitening the most - and leave the caps and crowns, that are sealed to prevent stains anyway, alone. No waste.
How long does it take? Less than a minute, Listerine Whitening Pen used once to three times a day for about 2 weeks. Think about that. With minimum effort you can restore your smile to that bright white one you had years ago before you sipped coffee in commuter cups or drank wine with dinner.
Even though it's from Listerine, and it does have ingredients to kill bad breath, it is not meant to replace the good old fashioned Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash for the prevention of gingivitis. Nor should it replace daily brushing routines.
What the gel in Listerine Whitening Pen does do is slowly and naturally whiten your teeth to a brilliant shine and help keep them that way with occasional use. After that pizza party or blueberry pie, slip into to restroom and stop the stains before they take hold. Fast, easy, done.
The dial at the bottom of the pen monitors the amount of gel. Once the gel appears on the tip, a full twist usually give you enough to coat three teeth. Just remember it can irritate your gums if left on longer than recommended and is not meant to be the only oral care product you use.
Forget and leave your Listerine Whitening Pen at home? Don't worry. You can grab another at the corner drug store. At $11.99, they are a lot cheaper than the web advertised pens, and you don't have to wait for the mailman to bring them to you!
