Review: Dr Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit

What is it?

This product is a professional teeth whitening kit you can use at home. This is a maximum strength kit, the same dentists use in their office. This kit alone is not recommended for sensitive teeth, you can purchase a separate remineralizing gel kit to desensitize your teeth during treatment. 

The kit includes:

• 8 large syringes of whitening gel - good for 50 applications
• gel applicator brush - for easy application of whitening gel
• LED blue light accelerator - for acceleration of whitening process
• 3 moldable teeth trays

How do I use it?

Tips:

• Keep gel away from gums, as it can cause irritation or temporary bleaching of gums
• Keep the kit in a cool dark place, away from sunlight
• The light is optional, but it speeds up the whitening process
• Use shorter and more frequent treatments to achieve longer lasting results
• When it comes to gel, less is more
• Do not do long treatments if you are not sure how sensitive your teeth are
• The shelf life of the gel is 12 months

Prepare the trays:

1. Place the tray on your upper teeth. Practice with your tongue on the roof of your mouth and touching the inside of the tray. Suck the air from the tray. This helps to contour the tray to your teeth. Repeat with lower tray
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Pour water into a cup and let it sit for 1 min. Starting with 1 tray at a time, dip the tray in the water for 5 seconds. If the tray folds into itself(happens when dipped too long), reshape the tray to it's original form and allow to cool before dipping again.
3. Lift the tray out of the water from the tab and carefully, but quickly, place the tray around your teeth and immediately perform step 1.
4. The tray can be reformed multiple times, so don't worry if you are not satisfied with the first fit.
5. Once you are satisfied with your fit, trim the front tab off the tray. You can trim the tray itself if you find the tray is too large.

Whitening:

1. Brush and floss
2.  If you are using desensitizing gel, apply this now. Dispense .5ml of gel into a small bowl and use the applicator brush to apply a thin layer of gel to the front of your teeth. Do the same with the whitening gel. You only need to apply the gel to the front of your teeth because nobody will see the back.
3. Insert the trays and immediately wipe off any excess gel from your gums.
• Optional: You can use the LED light by placing it over your trays and use it for 15 mins at the beginning of your session
4. Wear the trays for 15 mins but no more than 4 hours, depending on how strong you desire treatment. If sensitivity or irritation occur, wait 24 hours before using the treatment again and use less gel. You can repeat daily until you reach your desired shade. You may also wear the trays longer if you do not experience sensitivity.
5. Gently remove any excess gel that remains on your teeth and gums to prevent any possible irritation.

First Impressions

While this kit does not work as fast as my prior whitening kit I used, this kit did make my teeth a few shades whiter after 3 15 min sessions. I have not tried the kit for longer periods of time, but with the holidays coming up, I may try a few longer sessions around Christmas time to boost the whitening of my teeth. I am also using a whitening toothpaste and rinse which adds an extra boost of whitening power to my teeth.
