New to whitening? Or don’t know about it? READ THIS:
First of all let me start by saying my cousin is a DDS, and his father an oral surgeon. Needless to say these guys KNOW what they’re talking about when it comes to proper oral hygiene.
The Philips DayWhite/NiteWhite is the same product as Discus Dental. Philips simply bought this line of product.
Now to the real review: This stuff is AMAZING. Notice how on every DayWhite/NiteWhite product reviews on Amazon you see all these 5 star reviews followed by a few, random 1 stars? It’s because the 1 star people are idiots and have no idea what they’re doing.
You MUST have professionally made teeth molds created by your dentist. There is NO other option.. the boil and bite technique isn’t worth saving the $200 if youre going to be in constant pain and misery trying to save a buck.
Now, DayWhite is a compound with Hydrogen Peroxide This is the active ingredient in almost all teeth bleaching/whiteners. It comes in a variety of strengths, and even the weakest one will give you sensitive teeth if youre not extremely careful. I wouldn’t recommend using sensodyine toothpaste, I would ENFORCE using it. It shouldn’t so much be a suggestion as a rule or law. It WILL help a LOT.
The NiteWhite is made of CP or Carbamide Peroxide, this is a compound that over time turns into Hydrogen Peroxide (H.P.) It’s a slow reaction, therefore the wear times are much longer... 2 hours minimum, overnight for best results. People complaining this product doesnt work yet they only wear it for 20 minutes lmao... How many people buy stuf and never read instructions? Seriously?
Anyway my cousin, gave me a wonderful tip and I strongly recommend using it... if you develop some hypersensitivity on teeth take your mouth trays and apply some sensodyne toothpaste to them. Put retainers in mouth as you do with bleaching gel and keep the toothpaste in for 15-20 minutes before and after bleaching. This will help SO SO SO MUCH SERIOUSLY.
Think of a tooth as a small little hard sponge. When the bleaching occurs, it opens up the pores of a sponge, this is when a hot or cold liquid or even air hits the nevers and sends that shock to your brain... with the sensodyine being stuck to your teeth for 20 min it’ll close those pores and vastly reduce the sensitivity.
Another thing to keep in mind.. Even with toothpaste in trays the pores wont be closed all the way - because thats how the bleaching process works. So DO NOT drink red wine, or eat foods that stain teeth while youre in the processs of bleaching teeth, they will soak up those stains much easier than Normal..
Wait a full week and then go back to your regular routine and you will be fine..
Also, This stuff is powerful.. don’t think you need the highest % to get white teeth. ALL OF THE % DOES IS WORK FASTER NOT WHITER . YOU WILL GE THE SAME WHITENESS WITH A 4% AS THE 22% IT WILL JUST TAKE LONGER. This is proven by the ADA and all of the experts I have talked too about it.
Use your head people, and this product will enhance your smile 10x fold.
Enjoy ;)
