What is Teeth Whitening Gel
Carbamide Peroxide Gels : Carbamide Peroxide Gels utilizes a syringe to deliver an extra
sticky coating of 10%-22% carbamide peroxide bleaching agent to the
tooth. They are the most popular for home tooth whitening kits
because these are more stable. 22% concentration is the most
common. Anything less would be virtually ineffective.
Hydrogen Peroxide : Gel products use plastic dental trays to deliver a hydrogen peroxide solution to the dentine surface of the tooth, which allows the peroxide to better penetrate stains. Dentists use these kinds of gels.

How Teeth Whitening
Gel Works
After some form of protection has been applied to the gums, a
whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to the tooth,
breaking down and penetrating the discolored tooth enamel. After
this process the underlying stains will have disappeared from the
tooth. This is an aggressive method and should not be used on
damaged or sensitive teeth and gums. In effect this procedure can be
seen as a form of tooth bleaching.

Effectiveness
A teeth whitening gel is placed in a tray that fits over your teeth.
As the active ingredient in the gel, carbamide peroxide, is broken
down, oxygen enters the enamel and bleaches the colored substances.
The structure of the tooth is not changed; only the tooth is made
lighter and whiter. Fillings, Crowns, and Bonding will not lighten.
