Procedure – instructional diagram is on back of every Excel 3
kit
- Floss and brush your teeth. Next remove the
clear plastic cap from the syringe and replace with a mixing nozzle.
- Place a small amount of gel in each tooth
compartment in the tray. To guide you, a small teardrop size should be the
average size drop you should dispense into each compartment. Remember this is a
guide only, if you have smaller teeth, dispense a smaller amount and
conversely, if you have larger teeth, dispense a larger amount. Each syringe
has 6 calibrated treatment doses. Use up to one dose per tray application. In
general, less than one dose per tray is preferable to an amount greater than
one dose.
-
Place the tray with the gel in the mouth.
- Remove excess gel with your finger or dry
toothbrush. When inserting the tray, be sure the tray is completely seated. You
may see “bubbling” within your trays while wearing them. This bubbling is
actually part of the whitening process.
- After whitening (see above chart for recommended
wear time), remove and rinse the trays with cold water. Hot water may damage
the trays. If necessary, use a
toothbrush to remove any residual gel. Place the trays in the storage case, and
store them in a cool, dry place. Rinse and brush excess gel from the teeth.
Additional Information
- Whitening with Nite White Excel is recommended
for a two week time period. If you experience some sensitivity, you may wait
one night before whitening again.
-
Some patients experience increased
tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment.
- If your teeth are sensitive or you experience
sensitivity, you may want to have your Dental Professional prescribe a home
fluoride paste to reduce sensitivity. Other patients may have nonspecific
sensitivity in their teeth, gums, tongue, lips or throat. If any of these
symptoms occur, and are more then mild, discontinue the treatments until you
speak to your dental professional.
-
It is also recommended you stay away from staining
foods, liquids, and substances during this period for this may slow the
whitening process:
- Teas & coffee
- Red wines
- Colored soda
- Tobacco products
- Colored sauces
- Colored condiments
Keep syringes away from heat and direct
sunlight.
