Teeth Whitening Peroxide

Teeth whitening with peroxide has been around for over a 100 year. Peroxide has many domestic and therapeutic uses, and in 1917, dentist found it could be used for teeth whitening. They used a high level of hydrogen peroxide (30%) witch is 10 times higher than your bottle at home. At first with dead teeth, and then with teeth with live nerves. The solution was so strong they had to protect the tooth and gum with a special rubber.Your brown peroxide bottle at home can work as a teeth whitener and is not considered dangerous for burns, as it has a concentration of 3%.

In 1989, a new discovery was introduced to the dental community. A method using carbamide peroxide for teeth whitening. Dentists now use this new technology because it eliminates the risks of burns and poisoning. Carbamide peroxide is considered more stable, predictable and has a longer shelf life than hydrogen peroxide. It also decomposes a little slower once active, witch helps to eliminate whitening side effects (like uneven coloration)

Teeth whitening with peroxide is now the most popular procedures available, and is now considered completely safe. The American Dental Association endorses these procedures saying :

“Dentist-prescribed, home-applied bleaching made by a reputable manufacturer or used under the supervision of a dentist in a relatively short-term treatment duration is safe and recognized as most effective in lightening the color of teeth.”

A teeth whitening product with 10% carbamide peroxide is now generally accepted by dental professionals for at home uses ( when used as directed) and of course, at your dentist. A bright smile is more popular than ever and never been easier to obtain! Treatments at your dentist will always get you quicker results, but at home teeth whitening products are now considered completely safe. For a fraction of the price, you can get remarkable results at home.
