There are many ways to whiten teeth. However, the most-renowned and most-researched bleaching agent in the market would be hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide treatments have three classifications, each based on the concentration used in each solution used. It is important to note that higher concentration does not necessarily mean that it’s better for your teeth, and each potency level has its specific purpose.
Low Concentration (HP <1%)
Teeth whitening products with less than 1% hydrogen peroxide, such as BrilliantSmileTM Sweden Whitening Oral Care System, have very minimal to almost zero side effects. Exclusively available at The Smile Bar, the three-product system (WhiteningEVO Toothpaste, WhiteningBOOST Toothpaste, and WhiteningEVO Mouthrinse) is best used for the maintenance of your whiter teeth following an in-salon treatment. When used on their own, they can also effectively whiten teeth, but you’ll start to see results in about a week or two.
Medium Concentration (HP <6%)
The Smile Bar’s in-salon teeth whitening treatment uses the most ideal concentration of hydrogen peroxide to give you visible results fast! Boosted with UV-free LED plasma light, your teeth can become 2 to 9 shades lighter in just 20 minutes. It’s definitely the best choice if you want to have a healthy white smile!
High Concentration (HP 20-35%)
This is used by most dentists for their teeth whitening procedures. They also use a gum barrier because the potency of the formulation can cause discomfort and other side effects. High concentration hydrogen peroxide must only be used by professionals, because it can cause permanent damage to your teeth.
High Concentrations are used by most dentists and this procedure must be done with a gum barrier because having a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide does give you quick results for whitening but it comes at a cost as there are side effects and discomfort. The procedure itself is increasingly complicated when using High Concentration, hence it must only be done by professionals otherwise it can cause permanent damage to your teeth.
