Opalescence at Home Teeth Whitening - Teeth Whitening Gel Syringes - 4 Pack of 35% Syringes - Mint

I have 3 stars soley because I am now terrified of using it again and honestly probably won’t. But I will say it does what it’s intended. I had it on for 1 minute and it hurt so bad I normally fight through pain but it was bubbling and stuff so I went to take them out and my GUMS were WHITE. And when I say white I mean WHITE WHITE. I was so terrified I didn’t have a chance to take a picture. Luckily they’re going back to normal. But if you are brave I say go for it cause obviously it will whiten. But DO NOT get it on your gums. Trust me.

I thought I would try this product to see if it has an advantage over the one Ive been using for several years (also from Amazon). I didnt like this one (used it twice) because it is really dense and sticky and very hard to clean off my dental trays after use. (It is not recommended to use very warm or hot water on soft dental trays.) And also difficult to get all the gel out of my mouth. The previous brands product did not cause those difficulties so Im going back to that one. Also, this didnt seem to whiten as much as the previous brand. I doubt Ill even use the remaining syringes in this pack.

I have used several whitening products over the years, and this is the best one I have found! I love the fact that you dont have to leave it in very long (or overnight) AND it doesnt cause the gum sensitivity that Ive experienced with other products. I typically use it once every 3 - 4 weeks (unless I want a quick refresh for a special event). Im drink 1 - 2 cups of coffee daily, and I also enjoy red wine, and this product keeps my teeth looking great. The consistency is thick, which means it stays in my whitening trays and doesnt ooze out around the edges. (I rated easy to use as a 4 because you need to take a bit of care putting the product in your trays because it is thicker than many whiteners, but its worth it.) I have custom-fit whitening trays (that I got from my dentist years ago for another whitening product), and they work perfectly with this product. I keep this products around at all times -- Im a big fan!

Take care if you have sensitive gums. Use less. I have my own personal dental trays, they work great with this.

Before I give my review, here is a quick WARNING: Ive been using this product for a while so let me save you some trouble if youre new to this gel. Keep all the syringes in the refrigerator to preserve its potency for a much longer time because one syringe lasts you several sessions. Next, I read a few people here comment on the burning sensation followed by white gums. Sorry to burst your bubble guys but the gel is not the problem in that case: its you. If you dont want to have painful burning gums from this stuff, please follow these instructions to a T- this is what was told to me by my dentist and worked like a charm every single time::: Apply a tiny drop of the gel to THE BOTTOM OF EVERY TOOTH in your custom mouth trays. DO NOTTTTTTTT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES apply any more than a little tiny bit over ONE SMALL DROP THE SIZE OF A BALL POINT PEN TIP on THE BOTTOM of each tooth. The reason for this- the gel is extremely strong and even a little bit that gets on your gums, starts burningggg within seconds! Its not anything unbearable but its very unpleasant. Dont let this scare you: even if you mess up the first time or 2, once you figure out just how much is the right amount, you will be extremely happy you found this product! The reason to put it on the BOTTOM of each tooth- the gel spreads upward toward your gumline once you put the trays against your teeth and it covers the whole tooth. Also, I suggest whitening the front 8-10 teeth only (basically to the tooth or 2 that goes right past your fangs) as those are the only ones that actually show and you want to keep the sensitivity to a minimum. Use sensadyne extra whitening toothpaste during this time as well to help keep the whitening going and also to reduce the brief sensitivity that follows the gel if you have sensitive teeth like me. And lastly, this is optional but just a suggestion: apply a thin layer of Vaseline with your finger to your gums, wipe excess off of your teeth with a paper towel and THEN apply the mouth trays with gel. This will significantly reduce any type of burning if some just so happens to get on your gums. Now as far as the review...I did NOT receive this product for any kind of discount or exchange (nothing in my life has come free so far haha..)- I actually initially got it from my dentist for $400! Very quick delivery, amazing product- as always. This is the second time Im ordering opalescence on Amazon. I recommend this seller as the transaction was flawless from start to finish. I received the product neatly packaged in a total of 2 business days. About a year and a half ago, I paid my dentist those $400 for custom molded mouth trays and this exact product. It worked like a charm and lasted a long time but $200 every time was not a price I wanted to pay for at home teeth whitening. However this was the BEST whitening product I have ever used so I was determined to find it cheaper. It dawned on me to check Amazon and lo and behold- its here!!! I cannot begin to tell you how incredible this whitening gel is. After about 10-15 sessions, people will start commenting and asking how you keep your teeth so white! I know such was the case for me at least. And keep in mind, at the time I was smoking a pack of cigs a day since I was 12 (26 now) and religiously drinking about 4-5 cups of coffee through the day and the same amount of tea at night- so my teeth were STAINED. Theyre not as stained right now, but they needed some whitening again so you will see the difference. I quit smoking this week so that was my motivation to get this going again. I dont have any pictures of before and after as I am going to start today, but I will update my review in about two weeks when there will be a noticeable difference so you guys can see what Im talking about! All in all, if you apply with caution and follow my instructions, this product is hands down the best whitening gel I have ever used and I bet it will be the same for you too! I recommend it whole heartedly and will always use this to whiten my teeth!

You can’t beat Opalescence for teeth whitening. Great seller, fast shipper, great pricing!

I like that the whitening takes place in a short period of time.

Not sure why the comments are so negative. If you have experience bleaching your teeth, you shouldn’t have a problem. I put a tiny dot in each tooth of my retainer. Once you push them in, tap and push the front of your teeth. Wipe any excess gel. Wait up to an hour. Slight tingling, but no burning. To help with sensitivity, use sensodyne for a few days before bleaching After the first use (I only used for 30 minutes) I can already tell the difference. Will use until I get the whiteness I want.

Compound thicker than in the video. I did receive the 4 as ordered.

I ordered this product along with dental cheek things as well as teeth whitening trays. Initially I put the whitener in a teeth whitening tray and put in on my teeth as instructed. BIG MISTAKE. The whitener started bubbling and burning right away. Bad. I removed the whitener within 30 seconds. And had white burns on my gums. They went away thankfully. The next time I used the cheek thing to hold my cheeks and lips away from my teeth like my photo and painted it carefully onto each tooth with a small makeup brush. I leave it on for 30 minutes and sometimes use a blue led light to help speed up the process. It works really well, and I’ve had people asking where I’m getting my teeth whitened. The process is tedious- but for the amount of money you save for professional level whitening I’d say it’s worth it. Just be careful. DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR GUMS! I purchased AZDENT cheek retainers and use the ARC LED light that came when their whitening strips I used to use.
