Opalescence Boost is a 38% hydrogen peroxide gel with a neutral pH for maximum efficiency and safety. After its activation, Opalescence Boost is delivered directly from the syringe. It flows evenly, yet it does not slump. Its distinct red color aids in proper placement and ensures complete removal. Application time is 10 to 20 minutes and it can be repeated up to 4 to 6 times per appointment if necessary.

WHITEN Activate Opalescence Boost by mixing just before application. Please follow instructions! MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Allow the contents to come to room temperature before mixing the two chemicals together. Ensure the red and clear syringes are securely attached together before proceeding: 1. Mix activator with bleaching agent by pressing the plunger of red syringe in, pushing all contents into the clear syringe. 2. Forcefully press the small clear stem into clear plunger, making sure the small clear stem is pressed completely into the larger clear syringe (as circled in red). 25 x 3. To activate, press the chemical from the red syringe into the clear syringe with thumbs. back and forth rapidly a minimum of 25 times (12-13 times each direction/side). Press entire mixed chemical into red syringe. 4. Remove clear syringe and dispose. 5.Twist 20 ga Micro FX tip onto red syringe. Check material flow on a cotton gauze or mixing pad to ensure evenness of flow before using intraorally. DO NOT proceed if there is any resistance. Attach a new tip and test again before application. IMPORTANT NOTE: After mixing, Opalescence Boost is good for 10 days refrigerated. After 10 days, discard using proper disposal as syringe may develop pressure. Materials should be diluted with water and disposed down a drain or toilet followed by a few liters/quarts of additional water. DO NOT discard to garbage cans containing burnable material such as paper, cardboard, rubber, leather, cotton, etc., as spontaneous combustion can occur. Additionally do not bring this strong peroxide into contact with such flammable materials during application as combustion may occur. WARNING: Shield patients and clinicians eyes with protective eyewear. Wide side shields during mixing, applying, and removal. Hydrogen peroxide can cause burns to soft tissues (skin, gingiva, lips). Keep isolated to area of treatment. ! Opalescence Boost is chemically activated, no light or laser1,2,3,4 needed. UV-activated teeth whitening? A comment on recent research on http://health.msn.com Why get it: Who doesn't want a mouth full of gleaming, pearly whites? Most whitening methods rely on hydrogen peroxide solutions, but some companies claim the hydrogen peroxide works better and faster when combined with UV lamps. The problem: New research shows UV lamps don't boost the bleaching process, and even worse, can be dangerous. In February 2009, research published in the online version of the Journal of Prosthodontics showed no difference between teeth whitened with a combination of hydrogen peroxide and light or heat lamps, and those whitened with the solution alone. A January 2009 study in the British journal Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences went further. Not only does light-activation not work, the article reported, but it also exposes users to startlingly high levels of cancer-causing UV radiation. One lamp the team tested gave a dose four times as high as what you'd get from sunbathing for a full afternoon in midsummer. 1 Kugel et al.: Clinical evaluation of chemical and light-activated tooth whitening systems.
