About tootH WHItenInG

Who can whiten?

What causes tooth discoloration?

Almost anyone can successfully whiten their teeth.
Opalescence is effective at treating discoloration caused
by age, food and drink, cigarettes, or even medication or
tooth trauma. We also see patients of all ages whiten-from
teenagers to 80- or 90-year-olds.

Many factors make teeth lose their luster. Genetics is one
factor; some people just have whiter teeth than others.
Other factors include cigarettes, dark foods and beverages
(including coffee, soda, tea, and red wine), age, medications
(such as tetracycline), and tooth trauma.

How does teeth whitening work?

Opalescence Go is an affordable whitening treatment that
is so powerful and effective it is only dispensed by dentists.
Proven successful at providing dramatic, long-lasting results,

The active ingredient in most teeth whiteners is some form of
peroxide. Oxygen molecules from the peroxide penetrate the
tooth and break down discolored molecules.

Opalescence has received many awards in the dental world.

How does Opalescence Go work?

Because the oxygen molecules spread throughout the entire
tooth, it is not necessary for the whitening gel to touch every
part of the tooth for the entire tooth to be whitened.

Opalescence Go is a powerful whitening gel that comes
in prefilled, disposable whitening trays. Simply insert
the comfortable trays in your mouth and wear for the

recommended time, and your teeth will be whiter and brighter!

Before Opalescence

Some people experience sensitivity while whitening, but
many do not. Sensitivity does not mean damage has been
caused to your teeth. It is temporary and typically disappears
within a few days.

How long do I wear Opalescence Go?
Wear times for Opalescence Go differ depending on whether
you use 10% or 15% hydrogen peroxide gel and how
dramatic you want your results to be. Trays are generally worn
from 15 minutes to one hour per day for anywhere from five to

10 days.

How is Opalescence Go different from other
whitening treatments-over-the-counter and
professional?
Over-the-counter whitening treatments, such as whitening
strips, can lighten teeth. But for optimal results, you want to
rely on a professional treatment.
Opalescence Go has set itself apart from other professional
treatments for being extremely affordable and effective.
With its adaptable, form-fitting UltraFit tray, whitening with
Opalescence Go is also extremely comfortable.

After Opalescence

Will whitening weaken my teeth?

Whiten Your Smile Today!

No! Whitening will not weaken your teeth. Opalescence
whitening gel includes PF (potassium nitrate and fluoride).
Potassium nitrate has been shown to help reduce sensitivity.
Fluoride has been shown to help reduce caries and
strengthen enamel. Together they help to improve the overall
health of the teeth.2,3,4,5,6

Brightening Your Smile - Your Questions Answered
Your smile says more about you than any other physical
feature. A beautiful, white smile is one of the fastest ways
to make a great impression, and, thankfully, whitening
your teeth is affordable and noninvasive.
Certain medicines, tooth trauma, root fillings, foods, and
beverages can cause tooth staining and discoloration
over time. Professional whitening procedures can treat
these stains safely and effectively, whether they are on
the tooth's surface or inside the tooth structure.

Teeth whitening is a

Will bleaching cause tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity is a common side effect of bleaching.
This sensitivity is temporary and should disappear
after bleaching is completed. Even so, Opalescence
Tooth Whitening Systems are available with potassium
nitrate and fluoride to help minimize sensitivity. If you
have lingering sensitivity, talk with your dentist about
recommended desensitizing treatments.

Will bleaching cause problems by
weakening my teeth?
Opalescence whitening gel includes PF (potassium
nitrate and fluoride). Potassium nitrate has been shown to
help reduce sensitivity. Fluoride has been shown to help
reduce caries and strengthen enamel. Together they help
to improve the overall health of the teeth. 3,4,5,6,
