Frequently Asked Questions
+ What do dentists recommend to whiten teeth?
There are a lot of products available in supermarkets that claim to whiten teeth. Often, they contain a high percentage of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. While both whiten teeth, they can also cause pain, sensitivity, and even damage to your teeth’s enamel in high concentrations. This is why our specially formulated teeth whitening products contain a low yet effective concentration of carbamide peroxide. They also contain potassium nitrate, for teeth sensitivity. Read our teeth whitening guide to learn more.
+ Can yellow teeth become white?
Are yellow teeth bad? Not necessarily, no. Teeth naturally have a whitish yellow tint – this is because the layer under the enamel is yellow. That being said, teeth can become darker yellow as a result of various factors, such as diet, smoking, and poor oral hygiene. There are plenty of ways by which you can get rid of excessively yellow teeth. You can visit the dentist to ask about whitening treatment, or you can try dentist-recommended teeth whitening products such as our whitening kit.
+ Why do my teeth hurt after a whitening treatment?
The key ingredient in teeth whitening treatments is hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The higher the concentration, the quicker the whitening action. However, high concentrations cause greater pain and sensitivity in your teeth and gums. The highest concentration peroxide gels are found in dental clinics, and require a rubber dam to protect the soft tissue of your mouth from the gel. This is why our whitening kits contain lower, yet still effective, concentrations of carbamide peroxide, along with potassium nitrate for teeth sensitivity. If you are experiencing discomfort after a teeth-whitening treatment, we recommend our clinically proven sensitive toothpaste, or our post-whitening oral care system to alleviate your symptoms.
Can I use your whitening pre-treatment before professional or at-home whitening kits?
Yes. For optimal sensitivity relief, use our whitening pre-treatment for 3 days prior to your whitening treatment. We recommend the pre-whitening treatment first thing in the morning, after lunch, and before bed.
What’s included in the Whitening Oral Care System?
Will these products help if I already have sensitive teeth after whitening?
Yes, absolutely. Our Post-Whitening Toothpaste includes nano-hydroxyapatite and potassium nitrate, both of which are shown to reduce sensitivity following bleaching procedures. Plus, the whole system uses non-abrasive, peroxide-free ingredients to remove stains gently.
Can I use these products daily even if I’m not actively whitening my teeth?
Yes, they are intended for daily use, twice a day. Our teeth whitening products help maintain your brightest smile by fighting surface stains and include maximum fluoride to fight cavities and strengthen teeth.
