A solution made of 30% hydrogen peroxide
It isn’t a brand new concept Peroxide Teeth Whitening. Over a hundred years ago, dentists found that hydrogen peroxide could be used for teeth bleaching. In 1917 a simple heat lamp and hydrogen peroxide were used as an effective teeth whitening treatment for dead teeth. At that time the idea of using peroxide teeth whitening to brighten all the teeth in a patient’s mouth hadn’t been explored. A few years later, dentists discovered that even teeth with live nerves could be lightened by soaking the tooth in a solution made of 30% hydrogen peroxide, which is ten times more potent than the solution you use to clean cuts and scrapes. Because it was so potent, the dentist had to protect the patient’s mouth and other teeth by isolating the dark tooth with a special rubber dam.
