It is a professional teeth whitening system that uses a chemically-activated whitening gel to penetrate the teeth and remove stains and discoloration without the use of a light. This system is popular because it is fast, safe, and effective. 

The Opalescence Boost Teeth Whitening system consists of a special chemically-activated hydrogen peroxide whitening gel that is applied to the teeth. When activated, the gel penetrates the teeth and removes stains and discoloration. The whitening gel is specifically designed to penetrate the enamel and dentin of the teeth, which helps remove deep-seated stains that often cannot be removed with traditional whitening methods

Teeth whitening is the process of lightening or bleaching the color of teeth to remove stains and discoloration. Teeth whitening can be done at home with products purchased over the counter or professionally at a dentist’s office. Home whitening kits typically involve the use of an at-home whitening agent, such as a bleaching gel and a mouth tray, while professional whitening treatments involve the use of a stronger bleaching agent. Both methods can help to make teeth appear up to 8 shades brighter.

Teeth can stain due to a variety of reasons, such as consuming foods and beverages that contain dark pigments, like coffee and tea, or due to poor oral hygiene. Poor dental hygiene can also cause staining, as bacteria, tartar, and plaque can accumulate, creating yellowed or browned teeth. Certain medications, such as tetracycline and doxycycline, can also cause teeth to become discolored. Smoking can also contribute to tooth discoloration, as the tar and nicotine found in cigarettes can stain the enamel of the teeth. Consuming acidic foods and drinks can also cause staining, weakening the enamel and allowing pigmented foods to penetrate the surface.

When overseen and administered by your dentist, professional teeth whitening should never cause damage to your teeth. By using the proper whitening products and minimizing the amount of time the whitening agent is in contact with your teeth, your dentist can ensure that you don’t over-whiten your smile.
‍
Over-whitening your teeth can result in permanent damage, as the peroxide-based whiteners used can weaken the enamel if they are used improperly, or too frequently. For this reason, it’s best to avoid over-the-counter teeth whitening kits from questionable sources, as they may contain dangerously-high levels of peroxide. 

If you don’t want to turn to your dentist for professional teeth whitening services, but still desire a brighter smile, keep an eye out for ADA-approved whitening products like Crest Whitestrips. By sticking to ADA-approved products, you can ensure that you are using a teeth-whitener with relatively low concentrations of peroxide, lowering the risk of enamel damage from over-whitening.

There are two categories of teeth whitening products that work to remove stains without causing irreversible damage to your enamel. 

Abrasive whiteners are the first category, and include products like toothpaste that contains baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and other mild abrasives. Baking soda, for example, works like sandpaper, rubbing away plaque and stains from the surface of your teeth. Abrasive whiteners work on minor stains, but they aren’t strong enough to cause damage to your enamel.

However, we recommend that you avoid abrasives like charcoal toothpaste, as the abrasives may be hard enough to damage your teeth. Just like with over-the-counter whitening strips, it’s best to stick to an ADA-approved whitening toothpaste.

Chemical whiteners are the second category of teeth whitening products that actually work, and are available from your dentist and over-the-counter. For the best results with the lowest risk, it’s best to work with your dentist to whiten your teeth. Over-the-counter whitening products can have varying levels of peroxide, making them potential causes of over-whitening and enamel damage.

Ask your dentist about what kind of teeth whitening is best for you and your smile at your next visit.

The leading theory behind whitening treatment causing teeth sensitivity is that the sensitivity is caused by the slight weakening of tooth enamel during the whitening process. This exposes microscopic pores in your teeth called “dentinal microtubules,” which connect the tooth’s exterior enamel to the interior nerve, allowing us to feel sensation in our teeth. When exposed, the microtubules can become more sensitive to temperature and pressure. 

The good news is, post-whitening teeth sensitivity is usually a temporary condition lasting only a few days. This is because your body quickly remineralizes the teeth, sealing up the dentinal microtubules, and returning them to their less-sensitive original state.
