This is below the rate that dentists are entitled to, but it is the law.

Do not eat or drink during this time and try to avoid rubbing your lips against your teeth too much. Avoid talking, as this automatically makes your lips rub against your teeth.<\/li><li>Rinse your mouth and avoid eating and drinking for another half hour.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You should repeat this procedure every day and start to see the effects after a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_disadvantages_of_the_Very_Good_Smile\"><\/span>Advantages and disadvantages of the Very Good Smile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Very Good Smile is produced in France.<\/strong>  It's the size of a pen, so you can easily slip it into your toiletry bag if you're going away for the weekend or on vacation. It is very simple to use and the only constraint is not to eat or drink for less than an hour.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its applicator works very well, it is precise and easy to handle. Its <strong>mint taste<\/strong> is pleasant and gives you good breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Very Good Smile<\/strong> respects the legal doses of hydrogen peroxide, so it presents no risk to the safety of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method works and you should see a <strong>brightening<\/strong>. However, since it is not dosed like a product reserved for professionals, you will not get the same result as for a <a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/blanchiment-dentiste\/\">professional whitening at a dentist<\/a> (it is not the same price either!).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/teeth-whitening-kits\/\">professional teeth whitening gel<\/a>.  <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Disadvantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Very Good Smile has no effect on <strong>dentures<\/strong>, but the same is true for whitening done at the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, Very Good Smile is not suitable if you want <strong>instant whiteness<\/strong> for a party or event that is being held quickly. In this case, you should turn to a makeup pen or one that uses the optical effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_action_of_hydrogen_peroxide\"><\/span>The action of hydrogen peroxide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchst.ca\/oshanswers\/chemicals\/organic\/organic_peroxide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hydrogen peroxide<\/a> is the substance used by dentists to whiten teeth in the office, or at home with removable trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Bleaching limits of hydrogen peroxide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when used in the dosage recommended by a <a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/emergency-dentist-uk\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/urgence-dentaire-que-faire\/\">dentist<\/a>, hydrogen peroxide has its limitations. You are born with a certain shade of teeth that you inherit from your parents and you must understand that you will never have teeth whiter than that shade. The only solution would be to bond artificial veneers, but the tooth itself cannot exceed its natural threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Hydrogen peroxide <\/strong>penetrates the structure of your teeth &#8211; the enamel and dentin, but not the pulp &#8211; and &#8220;renovates&#8221; them by restoring their original appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, since it acts on <strong>living tooth<\/strong> cells, hydrogen peroxide has no effect on dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The dangers of hydrogen peroxide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The dosage of hydrogen peroxide is crucial. Too little and it is useless, too much and it can be dangerous, because it can damage your <a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/?page_id=17847\">enamel<\/a> irreversibly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-data before-content\"><div class=\"article-data__date\"><div class=\"article-data__date-modified\"><time class=\"published\" datetime=\"2022-11-01T10:29:46+00:00\">This article was originally published on&nbsp;<span class=\"2\">November 1, 2022<\/span>&nbsp;and was most recently updated on&nbsp;<span>November 3, 2022<\/span><\/time><br><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"user-info\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated:&nbsp;November 3, 2022 Your teeth are not as white as you would like them to be?
