Teeth Whitening Powder

The teeth whitening powder helps absorb and remove stains from the surface of your tooth enamel. It does so because the ingredients is porous, allowing it to trap substances you don’t want on your teeth. Plus, it has a natural adhesive quality that makes it bind to the things that stain your teeth, like the dental plaque.

Cover the top of your wet toothbrush bristles with teeth whitening powder, using a circular motion brush for roughly 2-3 minutes. If you have sensitive teeth, you should try using a soft toothbrush. 4-5 times a week should suffice.

Results can vary depending on several factors including your habits as well as the type of stains on your tooth enamel. In most cases, you should see noticeable results after one week of regular use. During this period, its ingredients should help remove exterior stains/discolouration from the surface of your teeth caused by daily food and drink without altering your enamel.

Some teeth whitening powders do contain chemicals such as synthetic flavours, preservatives, colourants and other chemicals. You should, therefore, read the ingredient on the label of the product to see what the formulation contains. There are teeth whitening powders out there that don’t have any chemicals.

Since your tooth enamel does not regrow or regenerate, using a substance that could potentially wear down the tooth enamel may be detrimental. Therefore it’s important to find a good tooth whitening powder that isn’t too abrasive. The whitening ability of powder is due to its porous nature, but the trouble resides in its abrasiveness. You should check the RDA for the powder to ensure the product isn’t too abrasive. The ISO specification states that toothpaste should not exceed an RDA of 250, which is considered the safe limit for hard tissues, and that toothpaste with an RDA value below 250 is safe for daily use. This RDA threshold applies to powder as well.

It depends on the ingredients in the teeth whitening powder. The powder is manufactured in a variety of grades for different industries and product applications, some grades of powder have fine particle sizes whilst others have larger granules. You should avoid powder with larger granules as they could be abrasive.

In the vast majority of cases, you could use teeth whitening powder for teeth if you are wearing braces but you have to use with moderation and brushing should be done lightly with soft bristle toothbrush. It is highly advisable to consult your dentist to ensure teeth whitening powder is appropriate for you.

Teeth whitening powder does not replace your regular toothpaste, therefore, you should be using both as they have different functions. For example, teeth whitening powder helps remove stains from the surface of your tooth enamel but it does not freshen your breath the way a normal toothpaste would.
