convenient, professional and affordable teeth whitening. Liquid Smile is easy to apply, takes less than one minute, contains the most powerful dosage of hydrogen peroxide (12 per cent) of any paint-on whitener, and fits into your evening routine of brushing before bedtime.


Paint it on Patients are directed to apply at night, after brushing and flossing. Teeth are to be dried with a tissue before painting a thin layer on the front of each tooth surface in the smile region. They need to keep a wide smile for 30 seconds so the gel will dry on the teeth, then they can relax and go to sleep! Liquid Smile fits into the


evening brushing and bedtime routine. It takes about a minute to apply, and you can go to bed without rinsing. Food and beverages will


cause staining with any whit- ening procedure. Hot and cold can also affect sensitivity. This is why it is recommended for bedtime applications, so that patients comfortably avoid ingesting such teeth-staining products as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tobacco, etc. immediately after the whit- ening procedure. The whitening procedure


is recommended at night, when saliva flow decreases and the gel will stay on teeth for longer. This allows the gel to work at full concentration and bubble away stains faster. If used once per night until

finished, the treatment will usually last about 14 days. Most people start to see


results after several applica- tions, some see immediate results after the very first night depending on tooth colour.


Whitening and sensitivity Pain from whitening proce- dures is a direct result of dosage and exposure. During the research and development of Liquid Smile, particular


attention was paid to creating the right dosage of hydrogen peroxide – powerful enough to ensure professional whitening without creating sensitivity. Liquid Smile’s common


sense approach to whitening also reduces exposure time. Most in-office and take-home tray systems require an hour or more of exposure. Liquid Smile’s single daily dosage reduces exposure time to hydrogen peroxide to just 15 minutes. There are no uncom- fortable trays which can also cause gum sensitivity. Lights used in whitening


DO NOT WHITEN teeth. The gel does. Lights dehydrate teeth which give exaggerated initial results and cause sensi- tivity. Liquid Smile eliminates these problems.


The Liquid Smile whitening pen takes just one minute to apply at night and can give noticeable results in less than 14 days


CASE STUDY Erin McIlroy


“I had always fancied getting my teeth whitened, but I was a bit wary of getting it done at the dentist, partly because of price, and partly from what friends and family have said.


“My mum has had whitening treatments before that have given her a fair bit of sensitivity straight afterwards and I was keen for it to be as pain- free as possible!


“I was attracted to Liquid Smile because it was simple and would fit in with my busy schedule. It was also important for me that it was more affordable than other options I’d looked at out there. “While I’m not particularly self-conscious about my teeth, I had started to notice that they weren’t as white as they used to be, so I wanted to see what this whitening fuss was all about.


“Using the kit was very simple and I managed to fit it into my bedtime routine quite easily. Even when I was away from home or if I had stayed out late, I managed to apply the gel as it was so quick and easy to use. However, I did spend more time smiling into the mirror than I usually do!


“I made sure I followed the instructions to the letter and I had no sensitivity or adverse reactions at all. I started noticing a difference after just a couple of applications and, although my teeth weren’t particularly stained, it has given me a bit more confidence. Some people have even asked me on a few occasions ‘Is there something different about you?’”
