These kits will produce results only if your teeth are lightly stained and the decision to use them should be carefully considered. The peroxide in these kits is in an unspecified or varied dose. The combination of these factors could lead to uncontrolled exposure to the peroxide which may damage your teeth and or gums. Due to their limited effectiveness it seems unwise to risk damage.
