Starlite Smile Red & Blue Light Therapy Gum Light – Periodontal Care & Teeth Whitening Accelerator

It only lasted 8 months. Then the wiring to the device started letting loose and it stopped working. I didn’t see any noticeable improvement to my gums even though I used it about 4 times a week.By creating a poor quality product, Starlight Smile Red LIght Therapy is contributing to pollution of the environment .

Wanted to love this and I actually did … until it broke. Given the cost of the product, I’ll tell you about the negative aspects first.Cons:Short-lived product. I would say that I used this device less than 30 days total, over a period of a few months (using it 1-2 hours at a time). Would love to keep using it, but it literally broke. The lights turned off within 2 minutes of my last use. I checked the USB-C connector for dust or other problems and my phone for any port and settings issues (I used my cell phone to power the device) and found no problems until I noticed the cord, which attaches the various charging connectors to the device, was broken. Although there’s a clear plastic tube to protect the thin, incoming cord from bending and breaking at the base of the device, the wire broke right at that connection point (i.e., that tube didn’t work). Maybe mine had a defect? Not sure, but doesn’t matter bc the return window had expired.The cord is Very Short, which is why I used my phone as the power source. Two hours of use was all that my fully charged cell phone battery could handle while I was also using the phone; this device drained my phone’s battery fairly quickly.I didn’t notice any of the very fine cracks in my teeth improve (I chronically bite my nails and use to grind my teeth at night).Also, I used this device a few times without any other teeth whitening products, but saw no improvements in the color.Overall, I could put up with the short charging cord and the cost of additional teeth whitening products, but even with the positive outcomes noted below, $70 for a device that I only get bout a month’s worth of use is much too expensive. It would cost me over $840 per year if I had to buy a new device every month, which is much more than a trip to the dentist.Pros:This product proves that dentists are wrong when they say you can’t grow back your gums! But, you have to use the device regularly to notice improvements.The best way to regrow gums is to clean the tartar build up around the gum line with a professional dental cleaning. However, I prefer at-home treatments and remedies for everything possible. This device regrew my gums, decreasing the appearance of those little black triangles/pockets at the gum line between my teeth; I used it in conjunction with regular brushing, flossing (I use a waterpik), and an over-the-counter metal dental pik that can be found at any drug store.If you brush on a teeth whitening gel before using this device, you can whiten your teeth while improving your gums. It also resolved sensitivity I had on a tooth.The gum regrowing and whitening processes were slow for me (probably would have seen quicker results if I would have use it regularly/daily). I must say, though, I noticed visible regrowth of gums after using the device once a day for a couple hours during the first week. Noticed whiter teeth after only a few days, with the use of a teeth whitening gel with the device (I’m tea and dark coffee drinker). Unfortunately, afterwards, I only used the device every now and then until it broke.
