A bright, radiant smile is a universal confidence booster. However, when you hear terms like “bleaching” or “peroxide,” it is natural to hesitate. You might wonder whether chasing that perfect shade of white comes at the cost of your enamel’s health or leaves you with painful sensitivity.
The good news is that modern whitening technology has come a long way. In this guide, we will explore how professional treatments work, the safety considerations of teeth whitening bleach gel, and how We Whiten ensures a pain-free experience for every client.
What Is Teeth Whitening Bleach Gel?
Simply put, teeth whitening bleach gel is the active agent used to lift stains from your enamel. It works by penetrating the microscopic pores of your teeth to break down discoloration caused by coffee, wine, and daily life.
Professional gels typically use active ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. When hydrogen peroxide breaks down, it releases oxygen, which penetrates the enamel and dentin to remove stains from colored substances without altering the tooth’s structure.
Is Teeth Bleach Gel Safe for Everyone?
When used correctly and under professional guidance, teeth bleach gel is considered safe. However, safety often depends on the quality of the product and the method of application.
Potential Side Effects
The most common complaint regarding standard teeth bleach gel is sensitivity or temporary gum irritation. This usually occurs when high-concentration gels are used without gum protection or if the formula contains harsh preservatives.
Pregnancy and Nursing
Many women pause their beauty routines during pregnancy, but you don’t always have to. Because We Whiten avoids harsh chemicals in its formulation, our process is considered safe for pregnant or nursing women.
Age Restrictions
Whitening is effective for a wide range of ages. We have seen amazing results with clients aged 16 to 75+. However, anyone under the age of 18 requires a legal guardian’s consent before we perform services.
We Whiten’s Approach to Safe Teeth Whitening
We believe you shouldn’t have to suffer to get a beautiful smile. Our approach differentiates itself by using a specialized teeth whitening bleach gel that balances power with gentleness.
- Organic Ingredients: Our gel is plant and mineral-based with built-in enamel-building qualities. It is non-abrasive and contains no preservatives that typically lead to sensitivity. In fact, 98% of our clients reported zero sensitivity.
- LED Technology: We apply the gel under specialized cold blue LED lights. This oxidizes the gel to speed up the active ingredients without using heat, which protects your nerves.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Throughout the process, we apply vitamins and minerals to promote healthy enamel, followed by a desensitizing gel to rehydrate the teeth.
How to Prepare for Your Treatment
To get the best results from your teeth bleach gel treatment, a little preparation goes a long way.
- Hydrate: Please come to your appointment well-hydrated.
- Stop Brushing Early: Refrain from brushing or flossing your teeth for 4 hours before your appointment. This helps prevent gum irritation during the procedure.
- Eat Beforehand: You can eat or drink anything prior to your appointment (which is helpful, as you will have restrictions afterward!).
Maintaining Your Results
Once the teeth whitening bleach gel has done its magic, you want those results to last.
The 24-hour Rule
Avoid eating or drinking anything except water for 2 hours after your appointment. Additionally, avoid dark-colored foods and drinks, such as red sauce, coffee, or blueberries, for at least 24 hours.
At-Home Maintenance
To extend the life of your new smile, consider using maintenance products. We offer a Wireless Whitening Kit and V34 Purple Toothpaste designed to help you touch up your results from the comfort of your home.
Book Your Brighter Smile
Using professional teeth whitening bleach gel is a safe, effective way to brighten your smile by up to 10 shades in a single visit. You do not have to fear the teeth bleach gel when it is applied by professionals using organic, plant-based ingredients.
