I purchased this to use with a bleaching tray my Dad made for me (he's a dentist). He gave me a tube of a similar product (16% carbamide peroxide), but by the time I got around to using it, it had expired. You can imagine my surprise when I found out that this stuff was available without a prescription, and was fairly inexpensive. The bottom line: IT WORKS. It works REALLY well, and it starts working with the first application. I've used it 3-4 times and my teeth are SEVERAL shades whiter. At this rate, they should look eggshell-white after another week. Unlike weaker concentrations (the 16% my Dad gave me advised applying this for an hour, twice a day), the 35% only has to be used once a day for up to 45 minutes (I'm applying it every-other-day). It seems to have a lasting effect, as long as you are otherwise good at keeping your teeth clean (this means brushing and flossing). A few points:

- Brush your teeth and floss before putting in your tray. The tooth won't get the full effect of the peroxide if it's blocked by tartar.
- Apply it to the portion of the tray where it will contact the front of your teeth (no need to bleach the backs, because your dentist is the only one who sees that part)
- Don't overfill the tray, or it will spill out into your mouth (it doesn't taste nasty, but it doesn't exactly taste good either). A little goes a long way: after 4 applications, I'm less than halfway through my first syringe.
- Avoid letting it come into contact with your gums because it can irritate them. My dad warned me to be careful with higher concentrations (like 35%) because of gum irritation. So far, this hasn't been a problem, but if you're overfilling the tray, it easily could be.

Overall, I'm impressed with the effect and the value. If you go to your pharmacy, you'll find competing over-the-counter treatments galore, and tooth-whitening toothpastes that don't do a damn thing. You can pay beaucoups of money to get laser treatments or UV treatments (which seem short-lived to me). For $10-15 and a bleaching tray, you can bleach your teeth in no time. I now understand why this is the only tooth-whitening treatment that my dad recommends.

NOTE: I realize that not everyone's fortunate enough to have a father who will make them bleaching trays. You CAN find inexpensive do-it-yourself trays like this at pharmacies or online. They won't be as good, but they'll get the job done. The package insert also indicated you can use Crest whitening strips with this-- you just have to wash off the crap Crest puts on the strips and replace it with this stuff.

I bought this pack with pretty high expectations based on the reviews. I'm glad I did, because it works. My teeth were a little yellow but not distractingly so. Still, I wanted to brighten my smile a shade or two. I saw a very slight difference after consuming the first tube and reached my ideal whiteness after just the second. I don't want a paper-white smile which would look fake to me, but I figure another 2 tubes would have been sufficient if I chose to do so, based on the progression.

Some tips:

1. This won't work as efficiently if your teeth are gray-ish, as opposed to yellow-ish.
2. You can apply this by placing the gel inside the tray, but I found that wiping them directly on the teeth and THEN slipping the tray on was more efficient.
3. If you apply directly to your teeth first before applying the tray, swipe your teeth with tissue to dry them a bit so that the gel adheres better. When your teeth are coated with saliva, the gel doesn't adhere as well.
4. After pushing down on the syringe, pull it back a little bit. The gel continues to ooze out if you don't, and a lot gets wasted over time.
5. A dentist friend of mine suggested (but it's not completely necessary) using just plain white toothpaste while using this product. It just hastens the bleaching process a wee bit.

Over all, this works really well. Especially for the price!

This product works just as advertised. Noticed a difference within a week and continue to use this product. The only draw back is if it can be a bit sensitive on the teeth and gums at times. Otherwise would recommend this to anyone.

First, to the people that complain about this gel hurting their gums and teeth: it's 35%. It's going to hurt if you are at all sensitive. If you got professional whitening like Zoom, that would hurt too. Have you ever put peroxide on a cut and it hurt when it bubbled? Imagine that on your gums. That's how it's going to feel. But guess what? Sometimes beauty hurts.

Never wear a gel this strong longer than 30 minutes. I purchased 22% from my dentist previously and they told me not to use that longer than 30. Do not sleep with this in overnight like you can with other gels.

Use the remineralizer or a toothpaste like Sensadyne after whitening and you'll reduce or eliminate tooth sensitivity. Also, skip a day between whitening sessions to further reduce sensitivity.

If you follow these tips you'll get whiter teeth in a fairly short amount of time and have limited pain using this product.

I have been getting 1cc 15% from my dentist for $[...] bucks a pop. With this product you get 35% and 10 times the amount for 1/4 of the price. Thanks for making my teeth so white that people have to wear sun glasses to shield their eyes when I smile, and thanks for saving me tons of $$$$.

Was a little hesitant to buy this product and didn't believe it would work as well as what I had gotten before from my dentist(had custom treys made with professional strength product..over 600$ total). over past two year have drank lots of red wine, coffee and smoke cigars and my teeth began to look VERY stained. Well, just got this product last week, used it only 5 days(40 minutes per day...totally only finished one of the 4 tubes that come with it) and my teeth are as white as ivory... I'm shocked and normally dont leave comments here, but figured this one needed a someone to sing its praises.
Again, I'm using this in custom treys I got made at the dentist but Ive had ZERO 0% irritation or teeth sensitivity(using sensidine toothpaste while using it as was recommended by my dentist). Wont need even half the product to get results better than when I had my teeth whitened at the dentist, so will have tons more to maintain the pearly whites!

Good product. I have teeth stained by coffee, medicine and chemo. It doesnt work in one treatment but it does work well. Plenty of product

This whitenintg gel is stronger than what I was getting at the dentist and really whitened my teeth over 4 uses of about 40 minutes each. I was spending 80 dollars at the dentist for 4 tiny little tubes which I don't even think would equate to even one of these big fat tubes. This is a great deal.

Product does what it'll say it will. However, it doesnt come with any directions. I had to spend some time online and find out how to use it. I've used similar products in the past, and it's pretty self explanatory, but it didnt come with specific instructions on whether to leave it in overnight, for 30 mins, for two hours?

Besides that, it works well.

If you want white teeth fast. Buy this. I have never used anything that can touch it. get a tube of tooth past for sensitive teeth to avoid the whitening sting that happens..when you whiten your teeth but it worked in one brushing for me, it was gone..also the re mineralizer that comes with this kit works great too to stop the sting..

WORKS GREAT!!! VERY IMPRESSED

My friends are asking about my white teeth so you will have new customers soon.. thank you for my white teeth
by the way I smoke and drink coffee all day cut right thru it..3 treatments and I was smiling wide..
