What are your thoughts on GLO Whitening Professional kit?

Question

Yesterday, I asked my dentist about whitening trays or in office whitening. He only uses (sales) the GLO Professional whitening product. He said this product is different than the OTC product they sale because of the higher percentage of active ingredient in the product and my teeth with slight yellowing would make me an ideal candidate. Is this all correct and does the product work? Thanks for your responses!

The take home product contains 6.5% hydrogen peroxide and the in-office contains either 24% or 30% hydrogen peroxide. The professional products do work and produce noticeable results much faster than over the counter (OTC) products. The percentage gives you an idea of the strength of the active whitening agent. Your dentist will determine the correct level for you and your situation. The lower percentage will work, but it takes much longer. The benefit of visiting a cosmetic focused dentist is that most have a variety of whitening options they can suggest based on your unique needs. Most patients want quick results. OTC products are slow to produce results. Many patients tell us they have tried multiple OTC products without success and have spent much more than our professional products cost. They simply assumed they cost more. You should contact your dentist and find out the various options and determine for yourself. We wish you the best of luck!

u can go with any whitening system [ standard brands] . u will get same results. light/ laser using whitening systems are just business gimmick. recent studies say no role of light. in my office i have such system , but now we useing regular chemical whitening, without light, infect light/ laser irritates gum tissue sometimes..
