Good Quality Bleach
If you want predictable, comfortable results, then it is important to use the best material. You wouldn’t use cheap non-brand toothpaste, so why use cheap bleach!
Also, it is not just the actual product, it’s the way you handle it as well. The thing you have to always remember about bleach is that the moment it’s made, it starts break down. This is called dissociation, and it’s the same with the bleach you have at home. So…. when a brand advertises that it’s 16 percent bleach – if its old and has been handled poorly, it might be more like a 5 percent. So, what extra precautions do we use at Sensational Smiles to get it right?
1
We always buy fresh bleach. We don’t order large quantities (like some dentists do to get more of a discount) because we know that if it’s been sitting on a shelf for five months, it’s not fresh.
2
Bleach needs to be kept cool. The colder it is, the slower it breaks down. So, we pick the right suppliers who keep it refrigerated when they buy it and even deliver it refrigerated in a specific time slot so we know that when we get it, it goes straight into the fridge.
It’s funny to see how other practices do it – they order from cheap suppliers, who don’t keep it cool, then deliver it and it gets left in reception at the dental practice for half the day until someone opens it and then someone decides to put it in the fridge. Then they wonder why their results are not as good!

Make sure the actual bleach is good. We use two main brands ![]()
