I’m a huge coffee drinker and have always wondered about all these teeth whitening products.

At first there seemed to be an odd side-effect; it left some sort of slimy film in your mouth…but after a handful of uses that seemed to go away.
I became concerned and curious about the active ingredient (Peroxide) but after doing some research I discovered there’s really nothing to worry about. Here’s a few good resources for this information:
