How does the take-home whitening system work?

DayWhite is a take-home peroxide whitening gel used in trays, and the clinical result depends on the formulation, tray fit, wear schedule, and natural tooth condition.

How does DayWhite gel break down tooth stains?

DayWhite gel is placed in a tray so peroxide can diffuse through enamel and dentine and break down chromogenic molecules. The exact formulation, concentration, tray fit, and instructions depend on the product version and prescription or supply route.

How should you check and use the whitening gel?

Check the packaging and instructions for the exact gel strength and wear schedule, and use only the amount that fits inside the tray without spilling onto the gums. Clean and dry the trays as directed and keep them away from children.

When should you stop whitening and seek advice?

Stop the session and seek dental advice if gel causes marked gum burning, swelling, or pain that does not settle. A dentist should assess cavities, cracks, gum recession, and restorations before further use.

What does the number 14 mean in this product name?

What does the number 14 mean? Ask the dental provider to identify the exact formulation and schedule because product names and concentrations can vary by market and package.

Frequently asked questions

Can this gel whiten a crown?

No. The peroxide gel acts on natural tooth structure, so a crown may need separate shade planning if it no longer matches.
