DENTAL BLEACH INSTRUCTIONS

Usage Instructions for Professional Dental Whitening Gel

It is important that you apply the teeth whitening gel properly so you
do not waste any of the gel and that you experience the least amount
of sensitivity while using the gel.
1. Prior to Treatment:

Brush and floss just prior to bleaching your teeth. The whitening
gel is the most effective with clean teeth.Try the trays in first
without any beach to check the fit and comfort. Make sure that the
bleaching trays are clean and dry before applying the whitening gel.
Moisture reduces the efficiency of the whitening gel and slows down
the whitening process

2. Applying the Bleaching Gel:

When you apply the gel make sure not to fill the trays. Place a
SMALL drop of tooth whitening gel half way up on the inner front
surface of tray (in the front of each tooth in the tray). Do not
spread the bleach around. Recap the syringe for next treatment until
empty. The average treatment per arch requires approximately 0.5ml of
whitening gel. We recommend that you only bleach the front 6-8 teeth
as no one sees the back teeth.

3. Inserting the Bleaching Trays:

Insert whitening tray in the mouth over the teeth. Seat the tray
firmly against the teeth. Wipe the excess gel, which seeps over the
brim of the tray onto your gums, by holding the tray up with one hand,
wipe the excess gel off of the gums with your finger or tissue. Wear
the tray with the gel as directed below.

4. Wearing Time:

We recommend that if you have not whitened before, use for 30
minutes to 1 hour the first time and increase the wearing time if
there is little or no tooth sensitivity.

General manufacturers recommended wearing times are:

For Carbamide Peroxide Bleaching Gels:

* 10%, 15% or 16% strength can be used 2 to 4 hours once or
twice/day or overnight while sleeping if no sensitivity
* 20-22% bleaching gel: use for 30 minutes to 1 hour once or
twice per day (do not exceed 1 hr/application).

For Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching Gels:

* Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching gel must only be used for 30
mins to 1 hour.

5. After Whitening:

Remove the tray and rinse off your teeth. Brush any remaining gel
away. Brush, floss and continue routine dental cleaning. Apply
desensitizing gel if your teeth become too sensitive - follow steps 1
through 4 again using the desensitizing gel.

6. Caring for Your Trays and Gel:

Clean whitening trays with a toothbrush or Q-tip and cold water.
Store trays in the tray holder and gel in cool dry place away from
heat and direct sunlight. The gel may be refrigerated to prolong the
shelf life, but do not freeze.

DENTAL WHITENING GEL CAN BE REFRIGERATED FOR LONG TERM STORAGE.
Shelf life is 1 year un-refrigerated and 2 years refrigerated. These
are general recommendations and may vary between manufacturers. Please
read the manufacturers instructions. Use only in accordance with these
instructions.
