Geri – If you rinse your mouth with peroxide, it will have a very mild whitening effect on your teeth. The peroxide doesn’t stay on your teeth long enough to penetrate them and break down stains.
When you get teeth whitening from your dentist, you receive customized whitening trays to help the whitening gel stay on your teeth and break down stains in them. And the carbamide peroxide in the gel is much stronger than the peroxide you would rinse your mouth with.
