FAQ
FDA: RULES, GUIDANCE, REGULATIONS AND
CLASSIFICATIONS.
Q. How does WhistleWhite work?:
A. Using
our one size fits all double sided mouthpiece/lens, you will
receive WhistleWhite products that are impregnated with a
special whitening gel and other essential ingredients. A
commercial spectrum blue LED (BB Plus), with precise settings,
is positioned between the upper and lower teeth. This
formulation forces activation. Carbamide peroxide and oxygen
will break into water molecules and free oxygen radicals. The
oxygen radicals combined with carbon-based molecules in the
stained teeth proceed to make all stains clear. This process
will penetrate the tooth enamel but will not damage the enamel.
Once the stains are removed, they will then attach themselves to
the form strips. This is referred to as a physical stain removal
at the speed of light.

months.

Q. How often should I use the
maintenance product, KeepBright Pen?:

public.

Q. Is WhistleWhite safe?:
A. Research has shown that if
the teeth and gums are normal and healthy there are no adverse
effects to bleaching one's teeth. You must make sure the dosage
is of legal limits and not excessive and administered in a
professional manor. People with tooth decay and with any type of
gum disease should avoid this treatment. Never treat a pregnant
woman; no known side effects are affirmed but it is simply a
precaution. Vitamin E is always used to reduce any irritation.

Q. Who may benefit from the WhistleWhite
system?:
A. Almost everyone can enjoy
the benefit of the bleaching process if their teeth and gums are
healthy. Remember, teeth can not be bleached whiter then
genetically possible. Tetracycline stains can not be removed.
Also any stains resulting from excessive fluorides or if the
teeth are porous, one can expect little result. Excluding the
above, about 95% of our clients experience success.

Q. I have a crown on my anterior or
front teeth. Will your product whiten my crown?:
A. No, but the standard
procedure is to first whiten all adjacent teeth, wait two weeks
for the color to stabilize, then go to your dentist and have him
match the crown to the new shade of your teeth. On the contrary,
if a crown is already been in place for many years, the
whitening process can return the rest of the teeth to the
original shade prior to the crown placement. The same goes for
composites, bridges, and veneers.

Q. Will the gel and peroxide you offer
be the same as from my family dentist?:
A. Absolutely. Our partner in
dentistry actually supplies a great deal of product to dentist
offices throughout the nation. Our carbamide peroxide, although
at legal limits, are in many cases more potent than what your
dentist will supply. The key to the success of our whitening
system is our blue light technology which increases the potency
of whitening in fraction of the time and cost.

Q. Is this procedure done by a dentist?:
A. This bleaching process is
provided by professionals in the teeth whitening business and
are not necessarily a dentist.

Q. What causes stains?:
A. Some teeth are naturally
pigmented or stained as they develop. Typically, stains come
from exposure to tea, coffee, smoking, juices, colas, wine, age,
or just about anything that would stain a white tee shirt. This
is why we highly recommend the KeepWhite Pen to stay bright.

Q. Are there any side effects?:
A. Some people may feel a
little tingling sensation, white gum line, or sensitivity, all
of which are normal and hold no real danger. Typically, this
will only last from a couple of hours not to exceed 24 hours.
.: Back to top
Q. How long before I can eat or drink
after my treatment?:
A. The first 24 hours we would
recommend to avoid coffee, tea, dark colored sodas, red wines,
berries, candy, red sauces, beets, or any foods that have the
propensity to stain. Remember if it leaves a tee shirt stained
it will stain your teeth.
