How Professional Teeth Whitening Works (and Why It’s Worth It)

Beyond the Drugstore Whitening Strips

Walk down any store aisle and you’ll find endless whitening options: strips, pens, toothpastes, gels. But not all whitening treatments are created equal.

At Exclusively Flossed, we use a professional, food-grade hydrogen peroxide formula that delivers fast, safe, and noticeable results without harsh chemicals or unnecessary sensitivity.

The Science of a Whiter Smile

Your tooth has two main layers:

• Enamel – the hard, white outer shell.

• Dentin – the yellowish layer underneath.

Stains and discoloration build up on and within these layers. Hydrogen peroxide works by penetrating the enamel’s microscopic pores, breaking down the molecules that cause stains.

The result? Whitening from the inside out, not just surface-level brightening.

Why Our System Stands Out

We use a 17% food-grade hydrogen peroxide gel, activated by an LED light. This combination speeds up whitening and minimizes sensitivity. Each appointment includes three 20-minute rounds, producing visible results in just one visit.

Most clients see their teeth brighten 3–5 shades lighter, sometimes even more.

The Professional Advantage

Here’s how in-office whitening compares to store-bought kits:

Feature	Professional Whitening	At-Home Kits
Strength	16–40% peroxide	3–10% peroxide
Time	2 hours	2–4 weeks
Results	3–7 shades lighter	1–2 shades lighter
Sensitivity	Low (protected gums)	Moderate to high
Supervision	Professional care	Self-administered

Professional whitening delivers faster, safer, and more predictable results, especially when combined with clean, tartar-free teeth.

Is It Safe?

Absolutely. Our whitening gel is gentle enough for sensitive clients and children over age 10. We use vitamin E oil to protect gums and ensure comfort throughout your session.

Aftercare for Long-Lasting Results

To keep your smile bright after treatment:

• Avoid coffee, tea, and red wine for 24 hours.

• Rinse with water after dark-colored foods.

• Brush with a soft bristle or electric toothbrush.

• Schedule maintenance whitening every 6 months.

If it stains a white T-shirt, it can stain your teeth, so moderation and rinsing go a long way!
