HOW DO MY PATIENTS USE THE KITS?

Procedure for wearing the tray

Thoroughly brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste such as Colgate Total Toothpaste.

Place a small drop of Colgate Optic White Professional in the tray for each tooth that needs to be whitened. Do not over fill.

Place the mouth tray with the gel into mouth and over teeth. Press gently against mouth tray with your fingers to put tray into place.

If gel oozes out as you place the tray, remove excess gel from gums with an absorbent material such as cotton swab, making sure to remove all gel from your gums and gum line.

Wear tray for 30 minutes or as instructed by your dental professional. When treatment has been completed, remove mouth tray. Brush your teeth with a wet toothbrush to remove any residual whitening gel.

For optimum whitening results patients should refrain from eating and drinking for 30 minutes after treatment. Patients should also be advised to avoid tobacco as well as any stain causing beverages such as coffee, dark colas and red wine during treatment.

HOW DO MY PATIENTS CLEAN AND STORE COLGATE OPTIC WHITE PROFESSIONAL?

After treatment patients should rinse mouth tray under water, using a wet toothbrush to clean any adhered whitening gel from tray.

Store mouth tray in the storage case (provided in the full kit). Keep in a cool dry place. Store syringes at room temperature. Do not freeze.

Avoid exposure to temperatures above 30ºC.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FOR MY PATIENTS?

In some instances, patients may experience mild sensitivity. To minimise sensitivity:

Recommend the use of a sensitive toothpaste such as Colgate Sensitive ProRelief Toothpaste during the treatment period.

Try whitening every second or third day.

Avoid hot or cold beverages 30 minutes after treatment.

If more than mild sensitivity occurs discontinue use and consult a dental professional. Sensitivity usually subsides 1-3 days after treatment has stopped. Gum irritation may also occur. Prolonged gel contact with gum or soft tissue may cause gum irritation. Potential irritation can be minimized by not allowing gel to stay on gum/lips. Upon placing trays, wipe excess gel with absorbent material such as cotton swab or cloth, or use less gel.

CAN EVERYONE USE COLGATE OPTIC WHITE PROFESSIONAL?

Colgate Optic White Professional is not to be used by women if pregnant or nursing. It should only be used under the supervision of a licensed dental professional. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
