Frequently Asked Questions about White Ice
Q. How do I get the WhiteIce stick into the nooks and crannies on and between my teeth? A. After you apply it, the WhiteIce material emulsifies with saliva and soon disappears. This is normal and is how the material gets between teeth and uniformly onto irregular tooth surfaces, providing total coverage without your needing to force the stick.
Q. I’ve never whitened my teeth before. Will WhiteIce alone do the trick? A. Maybe. White Ice is intended as a maintenance product. It’s an antidote to exposure to foods that stain teeth. However many patients find that use of WhiteIce actually improves whiteness over time. For best results, use a White Science primary whitener, such as SpaWhite or SolarWhite.
Q. How long will the WhiteIce stick last? A. With normal use, you should get about 20 upper and lower applications.
Q. How often can I use the WhiteIce stick? A. Daily use is recommended on upper and lower teeth and is normally sufficient. If used more frequently, you may experience slight digestive discomfort. If this occurs, decrease usage frequency.
Q. How long should I keep it on my teeth before I rinse or brush? A. At least 10 minutes.
Q. Must I brush or rinse my mouth after using the product? A. It is recommended. Alternately, you may use one of the Deep Cleaning Wipes supplied with your WhiteIce stick.
Q. Is there a time when I should stop using WhiteIce stick? A. Occasionally but rarely users experience indigestion, heartburn, tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. If you experience any of these symptoms, discontinue use of the WhiteIce stick and contact your physician or dentist. These symptoms can be indications of illness that may require professional intervention.
Q. If my teeth have been professionally whitened by a dentist do I still need to use WhiteIce stick? A. Yes. Teeth are bombarded daily with foods and beverages that conspire to dull your smile. The WhiteIce stick is an easy way to protect your investment in your nice, white smile.
