Using teeth whitening is becoming more and more

There are a number of ways to whiten your teeth but the most effective way is to use a whitening gel that bleaches your teeth. Most home teeth whitening kits use either Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the preferred whitening gel.

What is hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide is often used to treat cuts and wounds at low concentration levels. High concentration levels can be very powerful and has even been used for fuel. It is used in many products ranging from washing powders to beauty treatments to skin care products.

What is the difference between hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide?

Although used in many teeth whitening products, hydrogen peroxide is not as effective as carbamide peroxide and will not be as long lasting. When carbamide peroxide mixes with saliva in your mouth, hydrogen peroxide is created naturally over time at a sustained and more predictable rate. This makes the whitening process more predictable and controllable.

Dentists do prefer using carbamide peroxide compared to Hydrogen peroxide as its a more stable product that has a longer shelf life. Not forgetting that it gives much longer lasting results for the patient.

Teeth whitening kits that use carbamide peroxide There are a number of home teeth whitening kits that use carbamide peroxide. One of the most popular products at the moment is Smile 4 You, a kit that guarantees up to 11 shades whiter teeth in just two weeks of use. The kit is based on the tried and tested formula of Doctor George's Dental White teeth whitening gel, that has been the standard for home teeth whitening kits since the 90's.
