How should I use GoSMILE?
For immediate whitening results, use GoSMILE 2 times a day for 14 days and then once daily for maintenance or as needed depending on your stain index.
If I've already had a whitening procedure, how should I maintain my smile?
Even if you have had in-office whitening, the best way to maintain your smile is to start with the twice a day for 14 day regimen. Then use GoSMILE once daily for maintenance or as needed depending on your stain index.
How long do I have to leave it on my teeth?
GoSMILE should be applied to teeth for 1-2 minutes. Spit out any excess. There is no need to rinse -- allow the remaining gel to evaporate off of the teeth (whitening effects keep working for 15-20 minutes after application).
When is the best time to use GoSMILE?
Because of its portability you can use it anytime and anywhere. But the best time to use GoSMILE is in the morning and evening after you brush and floss as part of your oral health care regimen.
What does the gel consist of?
GoSMILE is a liquid-based hydrogen peroxide polymer gel that contains 6% hydrogen peroxide (the active ingredient) along with special gum resins and natural mint flavor for breath freshening.
Can't I just use hydrogen peroxide?
No, it is unstable in its natural form.
Why does GoSMILE differ from whitening toothpastes?
Toothpastes do not have the necessary contact time and concentration of peroxide to have any real effect. GoSMILE is a special hydrogen peroxide polymer gel that allows the whitening product to whiten on the surface of the teeth for 15-20 minutes after an application.
I have experienced sensitivity with another whitener. Why?
Most tooth whiteners use carbamide peroxide. Carbamide peroxide breaks down into urea and ammonia which causes sensitivity in some users. This will not happen with GoSMILE because it contains no carbamide peroxide.
Is it safe to swallow?
Yes, but we recommend that you spit out any excess.
I noticed a small white spot on the surface of my gums after using GoSMILE...what is it?
Very few people experience this but it does happen from time to time. The white spot is completely normal and safe. It is an indication that that area is slightly inflamed. There is no harm done to the soft tissue. Just wait a few minutes and it will go away.
