Essential Teeth Whitening Kit Information
Teeth whitening kits contain chemicals that seep into the stains and remove them without causing any damage to
your dental structure.

The most common chemicals in these kits are usually a form of peroxide-
either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

Most manufacturers have an array of whitening products with various
concentrations of these peroxides.

Gentle action whitening kits have less peroxide (about 3-5%) and take longer
to work than the professional or advanced strength kits (5% plus)

Bleaching kits can handle stains both on a surface level and those within the
deeper layers of the tooth, while abrasive kits are effective only for
surface stains.

store, a drug store or online.

For a whitening product to be truly effective it is important to store it
properly at home.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
Home whitening kits should be stored in a cool area of your house at room
temperature.

Avoid placing your kit in an area of the house where it’s very hot or in direct
sunlight.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
Suitable storage areas include your bedroom closet or a bathroom or
kitchen cabinet.

You should definitely never store your whitening kit in the freezer.

Most whitening kits have just enough product substance for a single course of treatment and so you should use
the whole kit.

However if you only use part of the kit, toothpaste or mouthwash, it’s best to
discard it after about 6 months and buy a new product if you want to start
whitening your teeth again.
