Frequently asked questions

• Where should I store the Intense White Instant teeth whitening pen once opened?

  We recommend storing the whitening pen in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and below 25’C.

• Is it safe if I swallow some of the gel during use?

  Gel is not harmful if you swallow it during use. However, if secretion becomes too much, we recommend you spit out the excess saliva as it develops.

• How long does this need to be used for?

  The whitening gel delivers safe and effective teeth whitening over 5 days. The whitening gel works fast! Using the Intense White pen, after your first 15 minutes, you can see results of up to 2 shades whiter teeth. Using the Intense White Overnight pen, the intensive formula works during the night to whiten teeth up to 3 shades after just one use.

• Is this a safe whitening method?

  Yes. As well as being clinically tested for performance, it is also independently tested for product safety to comply with all European safety regulations for cosmetic products.

• Does the whitening gel contain peroxide?

  No. The Intense White Instant teeth whitening pen and the Intense White Overnight pen do not contain peroxide, and are safe for use on enamel.

• Will the whitening gel make my teeth sensitive?

  Both of the Wisdom Intense White whitening pens are not known to cause sensitivity. Peroxide based whitening treatments can cause issues with sensitivity, but Wisdom Intense White Instant pen and the Intense White Overnight pen are peroxide free.

• Will the brush damage or scratch my tooth enamel?

  The Wisdom Intense teeth whitening pens use gentle silicone filaments to work the whitening gel into the tooth surface. This applicator will in no way damage the tooth enamel.

• Why do I need to dry my teeth before applying the gel?

  Drying your teeth before adding the gel, will ensure the gel can dry quickly and can start to work. If your teeth are wet when you apply the gel, this will take far longer to dry and may not offer the same whitening performance.

• How long will the whitening effect last?

  Using the Wisdom Intense White Instant teeth whitening products is not a replacement for a good oral care regime. Brushing for 2 minutes, twice a day, with whitening toothpaste and also cleaning between teeth to reach all tooth surfaces, will keep your new whiter smile at its best for longer. If you smoke or eat/drink staining foods regularly or you just want to boost your smile then the treatment can be repeated as required.

• My teeth are the same shade as before I started the treatment/my teeth shade has seen a minimum improvement – why?

  As with all non-peroxide whitening products, the Wisdom Intense White teeth whitening pens can only remove stains to reveal the natural colour of enamel underneath. If no surface stains are present then they cannot deliver whiter teeth beyond their natural colour.

• Can children use the Wisdom Intense White teeth whitening pens?

  No, this product is for adults only.

• Can I use Wisdom Intense White teeth whitening pens when pregnant?

  No, it is not recommended that you carry out the whitening treatment whilst pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Can I use the Wisdom Intense White teeth whitening pens on veneers, crowns or implants?

  The Wisdom Intense White teeth whitening pens are designed for use on natural healthy teeth. However, aesthetic dental work (e.g. veneers, crowns, implants) can become discoloured and stained just like your natural teeth. The gel will clean all your teeth, but will only get the non-natural materials back to their original colour.

• Can I eat or drink whilst carrying out the treatment?

  No. We advise against eating or drinking during the 15 minute treatment or the overnight treatment.

• Will it affect the end result if I continue to smoke and consume staining food and drink (tea, coffee, red, wine cola) during the 5 day treatment?

  We advise that during treatment, you avoid smoking and keep consumption of staining food and drink to a minimum.
