Instructions Of Use

Dental Work: Tooth Whitening (bleaching) gel will only whiten natural teeth. It will NOT bleach (whiten), nor harm bonding, caps, crowns, bridges, fillings or any other artificial dental work. You may have to have the dentistry redone in order to match your new white teeth. Tetracycline (an antibiotic) stained teeth or greyish teeth are more difficult to bleach and have a varied prognosis. Exposed root portion of teeth which occurs with gum recession, will also not bleach. If you have amalgam (silver) fillings in, near or behind the front teeth, long term bleaching can cause the surrounding tooth to have a greenish tinge. Bleaching teeth which have a lot of translucency (see thru) can cause the teeth to become even more translucent and may give the tooth a darker appearance. It is important to consult a dentist if you have any of the above concerns.

Sensitivity: Your teeth or gums will most likely become sensitive. This is common while using all products containing peroxide based gels and it is not harmful. In case of increased sensitivity reduce usage time and/or frequency until the sensitivity subsides. Due to the high prevalence of sensitivity, Teeth Whitening Superstore recommends teeth Remineralisation Gel following bleaching.

Warnings: Keep bleaching gel out of reach of children. Do NOT use if pregnant or during nursing. Do NOT smoke, drink or eat while bleaching your teeth.

Usage Instructions for Teeth Whitening Products

It is important that you apply the teeth whitening gel properly so you do not waste any and you experience the least amount of sensitivity while using the gel.

1. Prior to Treatment:

Brush and floss just prior to bleaching your teeth. The teeth whitening gel is most effective with clean teeth. Try the trays in first without any beach to check the fit and comfort. Make sure that the bleaching trays are clean and dry before applying the whitening gel. Moisture reduces the efficiency of the teeth whitening gel and slows down the whitening process

2. Applying the Tooth Whitening Gel:

When you apply the gel make sure not to fill the trays. Place a SMALL amount of tooth whitening gel half way up on the inner front surface of tray (in the front of each tooth in the tray). Do not spread the bleach around. The average treatment per arch requires approximately 0.5ml of whitening gel. We recommend that you only bleach the front 6-8 teeth as no one sees the back teeth.

3. Inserting the Teeth Whitening Trays:

Insert whitening tray in the mouth over the teeth. Seat the tray firmly against the teeth. Wipe the excess gel, which seeps over the brim of the tray onto your gums, by holding the tray up with one hand; wipe the excess gel off of the gums with your finger or tissue. Wear the tray with the gel as directed below. Dual Arch trays do not need to be boiled like the Thermo moulds do. Dual arch trays are the latest innovation to the teeth whitening industry and will conform to each individual’s teeth instantly.

4. Wearing Time:

We recommend that if you have not whitened before, use for 30 minutes to 1 hour the first time and increase the wearing time if there is little or no tooth sensitivity.
To help you speed up the process and guarantee a long lasting and comfortable result use the led laser teeth whitening light. When you have your trays ed in your mouth simply hold the laser teeth whitening light up close to your mouth for one to two ten minute sessions and you will be amazed at the instant results you will achieve.

5. After Whitening:

Remove the tray and rinse off your teeth. Brush any remaining gel away. Brush, floss and continue routine dental cleaning. Apply teeth remineralisation gel or a toothpaste specifically for this if your teeth become too sensitive - follow steps 1 through 4 again using the desensitising gel, only you will keep the remineralisation gel in your mouth for 5 minutes, then take out the trays and don’t brush your teeth for at least 30 minutes. Best use is before you go to bed, giving the gel time to work on the teeth over night.

6. Caring for your Trays and Gels:

Clean teeth whitening trays with a toothbrush and cold water. Store trays in the tray case and gel in cool dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. The gel may be refrigerated to prolong the shelf life, but do not freeze.

DENTAL TEETH WHITENING GEL CAN BE REFRIGERATED FOR LONG TERM STORAGE. Shelf life is 1 year un-refrigerated and 2 years refrigerated.

Note:

As an average, optimum results are achieved after 20-30 cumulative sessions of wear-time
Longer wear times create faster whitening results
Faster results can be achieved with higher concentrations of Carbamide Peroxide such as our 16% gels.
50% of the bleaching takes place in the first 1-2 hours.
Conduct your whitening session once per day until desired level of whitening is attained.

7. Crest White Strips:

Crest Whitestrips are thin moldable cellulose strips pre coated with bleaching gel (hydrogen peroxide) which when peeled off their coating base are applied to your teeth. The strips stick neatly to your teeth and keep the bleach on the tooth whilst the whitening activity takes place.

11. Teeth Whitening Pen:

The Teeth whitening pen works by bleaching the stains on your teeth. Apply a thin layer and then let the whitening gel dry on the teeth for 60 seconds. The tooth bleaching begins directly when the gel has been applied. You do not have to remove the teeth whitening gel since it will go away naturally or next time you brush your teeth. But please wait 10 minutes before drinking or brushing your teeth, to get the full results.
