How soon can peroxide whitening start changing tooth colour?
Snow whitening starts working as peroxide-based gel contacts stained enamel, but the visible change depends on the product, wear time, and type of stain.
What is a peroxide whitening system and how is it used?
Snow is a consumer whitening system that uses a peroxide gel with a mouthpiece or other application method.
How does peroxide whiten teeth during an application?
Peroxide breaks down colored organic molecules in enamel and dentin, while lights or accessories do not replace the gel’s chemical action.
When should you stop whitening and contact a dentist?
Follow the supplied schedule, keep gel away from the gums, and stop if marked irritation or pain develops.
What should you ask before using a whitening system?
Have a dental check before whitening when teeth hurt, gums bleed, or a dark tooth, cavity, crack, or restoration is present.
