For a long time, the term “bleaching” was only known in the context of bleaching the hair. Later it became common for treatments at the dentist and meanwhile whitening products for the teeth and for use at home are freely available. But what mode of action is actually behind teeth whitening with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)? We have summarized this for you in the following.
The natural tooth color changes over the course of life. Age, genes, and lifestyle all affect the degree of discoloration. However, with the use of hydrogen peroxide on the teeth, teeth can be whitened again.
The active ingredient has a high oxidizing power and is used as a bleaching agent for textiles, paper, wood, hair and in some countries even for the skin. The oxidizing capacity correlates with the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. By adding it to the carrier material - cosmetic tooth whitening is usually a gel - the concentration can be adjusted.
The tooth whitening gel is applied to the teeth and the splint and begins to work immediately with the addition of light and your own body heat. The hydrogen peroxide acts on the surface of the tooth and splits off oxygen radicals there. These radicals chemically change the dark color pigments of the teeth so that they are less visible. The result is bleached teeth in a short time.
If you are now thinking “Hmm, hydrogen peroxide - isn't that totally harmful?”, We can reassure you: With the bleaching system from OnlySmile, the concentration of the active ingredient is less than 0,1 percent. With this small amount and the short exposure time, there is no evidence that the gel attacks or even damages the teeth. So you can bleach your teeth without hesitation and with unadulterated anticipation!
Note: Bleaching only works with real teeth - crowns or implants cannot be artificially lightened.
