What does teeth whitening involve?
Professional bleaching is the most common form of teeth whitening. Our participating dentists will prepare a specially made tray which fits into your mouth and over your teeth like a mouthguard. You then insert the whitening gel in the trays and fit them over your teeth. The ‘active ingredient’ in the product is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. As the active ingredient is broken down, oxygen gets into the enamel on the teeth and the tooth colour is made lighter.
