Food grade hydrogen peroxide (35%) is used in the production of well, food for its antibacterial properties and also oral care products as a teeth bleaching agent.

How Does Hydrogen Peroxide Whiten Teeth?

Hydrogen peroxide penetrates your tooth's enamel, which alters the tooth's color beyond its natural shade by affecting the dentin (the hard substance of the tooth that surrounds the central core of nerves and blood vessels) layer of your teeth. Our Antioxidant-Infused Teeth Whitening Pen is made with food-grade hydrogen peroxide that can painlessly whiten your teeth by two shades in as little as two days.

Should I Use a Peroxide-Free Whitening Pen?

The fast-acting Antioxidant-Infused Whitening Pen formula is gentle enough for most users, but for those with sensitive teeth or intolerances to hydrogen peroxide, we suggest trying our Peroxide-Free Teeth Whitening Pen.

If you have any further questions, consult with your children’s dentist or email us at team@dr.brite.com.

FAQs

1. What is hydrogen peroxide and what does it do?

Hydrogen peroxide is a common household chemical that can be used as an antiseptic. It is often found in first aid kits and can also be used to clean wounds or to whiten teeth. Hydrogen peroxide is made up of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms, which are held together by covalent bonds. The bond between the hydrogen and oxygen atom consists of a weak electron-sharing arrangement so it breaks easily under pressure, releasing energy into the environment as heat or light.

2. How does hydrogen peroxide help whiten teeth?

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound that can be found in many products, including mouthwash. It works by breaking down the stains on teeth and removing them from your mouth. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with tooth enamel to create an oxidizing agent which breaks down the stain molecules into smaller pieces, making it easier for your body's digestive system to absorb them. This process also whitens teeth because it removes stains caused by food or drinks.

3. What are the risks associated with using hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth?

Hydrogen peroxide is a common household item that can be found in many homes. This chemical has been used to whiten teeth and clean wounds for decades. It's also the main ingredient in hair bleach, mouthwash, and some toothpaste. The risks associated with using hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth are typically minor such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. However, if too much of the chemical is ingested it could cause stomach problems such as vomiting or diarrhea which may lead to dehydration.

4. How long should I leave hydrogen peroxide on my teeth?

It is recommended that you leave the hydrogen peroxide on your teeth for about two minutes. You should also be careful to not swallow any of the solution, as it can cause stomach upset.

5. How long does it take to see results from hydrogen peroxide on teeth?

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound that can be found in many household products and treatments. Hydrogen peroxide has been used as an antiseptic for over 100 years. The hydrogen peroxide itself will not remove plaque from teeth, but it does help to bleach the teeth by breaking down the color of stains on them. The results are usually seen after just one use, but some may take up to two weeks to see results fully.
