Speak with DDS: Usually the percentage is higher-check with your dentist and see if this satisfies the results you are after. In addition, habits such as smoking and dark beverage consumption are always an ongoing factor.

10 % is recommended: 10 % carbamide peroxide yields approximately 3.5 % hydrogen peroxide and is recommended as effective and safe maintenance whitening product.

My dentist whitened my teeth with 30% hydrogen peroxide. During treatment, I felt increased brain fog and concentration issues. And my throat was sore so I know I swallowed some. The brain issues persist weeks later. Can hydrogen peroxide cause this?
